Erzgebirge Aue ended the preparation phase for the second half of the season with a draw. The third-division club only managed a 1:1 (1:0) draw against regional league side Energie Cottbus. Erik Majetschak (36') for Aue and Yannik Möker (95') for Cottbus were the goalscorers at the Erzgebirgsstadion.
Both coaches had agreed before the game on a test match length of three times 45 minutes. The Violets dominated the game throughout, but were unable to take advantage of many scoring opportunities. Erik Majetschak then took the lead, which was only equalized after a further hour by Cottbus' trialist Yannik Möker. After 68 minutes, Aue coach Pavel Dotchev changed almost the entire team so that all players got a share of the game.
Erzgebirge Aue will host Rot-Weiss Essen on Friday (19:00/MagentaSport) for the restart of the 3rd division.
