FC Erzgebirge Aue also lost their second away game of the season. The Saxons lost 1:4 (0:2) at 1. FC Saarbrücken. Kai Brünker put the hosts ahead in the 33rd minute before Florian Pick increased the lead just 84 seconds later. Maximilian Schmid (77') then ensured Aue's goal. However, the hosts responded with another 3:1 through Pick (86'), before Rodney Elongo-Yombo (88') marked the final score. Aue thus dropped to 14th place. Saarbrücken climbed to fourth place in the 3rd division.
Saarbrücken's second double strike
Aue piled on the pressure after the break, but were unable to reward themselves for the time being. Saarbrücken clearly had the better offensive disposition. Thanks to Schmid (77'), Aue still managed to score the equalizer when he converted a long ball half-right in the penalty area. But the hosts went one better with their second double strike: Pick (86) increased the lead to 3:1 before setting up Elongo-Yombo, who marked the final score two minutes later.
