After Erzgebirge Aue's 2:0 win in the 101st Saxony derby against Dynamo Dresden, emotions ran high. "He's getting his just punishment. I don't wish this person any more good. That's unsportsmanlike to the power of ten, he kicked him," said Dynamo's ex-captain Stefan Kutschke angrily towards Aue coach Pavel Dotchev. The TV images also prove what Dresden's head coach analyzed on Magentasport TV immediately after the final whistle: "I wish the referee would see the clear assault because it is an unnatural movement by Männel. A clear red card, so the first yellow card for Stefan is not justified," said Thomas Stamm, adding: "It's clear that you have emotions in a game like this."
Aue captain and goalkeeper Martin Männel's 69th-minute challenge on Kutschke, who had come on as a substitute in the 57th minute, was the cause of the incident. The latter then got upset and was shown a yellow card. When he was shown a yellow card in the 83rd minute, Männel threw the ball directly at Kutschke's shoulder as he ran out and then dropped theatrically. Referee Lukas Benen showed the Dresden player the yellow card.
