On Härtel's debut: Aue draw in test against Ulm

Third-division soccer club Erzgebirge Aue drew their first match under new coach Jens Härtel. The successor to Pavel Dotchev led the Veilchen to a 2:2 (1:2) draw in a test against second-division side SSV Ulm five days after taking office.

In the duel at the Güzeloba Stadium near Belek, which lasted two 60-minute periods, Sean Seitz (4th minute) put the Saxons ahead in front of over 200 fans before Maurice Krattenmacher (11th) equalized and Semir Telalovic (30th) made it 1-2. In the second half, Omar Sijaric (75) equalized with a lot of assertiveness.

Before the second half of the season kicks off at Hannover 96 II on January 17 (19:00/MagentaSport), Aue will play another test this Friday against Swiss second division side FC Aarau (16:00), who, like the two German clubs, are currently at their winter training camp on the Turkish Rivera.
