Dynamo goalless before top match: Aue finds its way back to success

Dynamo unimaginative to the zero number: At Dynamo Dresden you could live with the goalless draw at TSV 1860 Munich quite well. "You noticed that we have played all three days. At the back, we lacked a bit of strength, we didn't have the freshness. But we defended well, played to zero. For the most part, we had the game under control," coach Markus Anfang told MDR. The points division in a chance-poor play - both teams had in each case only one clear possibility - was in order.

Am not given penalty in the injury time - Luca Herrmann was held and also hit at the foot - the Dresdner did not want to hold up this time for a long time. "If there was a penalty whistled, Sechzig can probably not complain. But they always say it evens out," said Anfang on "MagentaSport" and looked ahead to next Sunday. That's when the Dresdeners have to play the top game at second-place Ulm, who are now only two points behind Dynamo. "The team needs to regenerate. They get two days off, then regeneration training. It was a stressful week with two long trips to the away games," Anfang justified his measure.

Aue uses superior number to win: the relief at FC Erzgebirge Aue was great after the 2-0 against 1. FC Saarbrücken. The slide was stopped after three defeats in a row, suddenly the violets are again third in the table. "The starting situation was very, very difficult for us. I therefore knew it would be a very intense game," said Aue coach Pavel Dotchev. He praised the team for its morale. "I am relieved and very happy that the team has answered so many questions," the coach said on "MagentaSport", stressing that his team decided the game in the head.

The sending off for Saarbrücken's Calogero Rizzuto in the 56th minute also helped. The former Auer saw the traffic light card. After that, the hosts had an easier game. "The team showed an awesome reaction today after the three defeats," said Boris Tashchy, who scored to take the lead and set up the 2:0 through Jean Seitz in exemplary fashion. "I'm very happy that I could score today," said the playmaker, but also had the whole team in mind: "We all played well today, defended well and played well going forward. Everything fitted today."
