FC Saarbrücken secured a point at FC Erzgebirge Aue. The game ended goalless. Head coach Jürgen Luginger changed his starting eleven in three positions and also adjusted the system. Bichsel, Fahrner and Kamara were new. This trio replaced Bretschneider, Civeja and Vasiliadis. Bichsel was positioned on the left in the three-man chain, Fahrner on the right flank and Kamara in midfield. The opening phase belonged to the hosts. Aue tried to put the FCS under pressure and also got a few corners, but the defensive line stood firm. Apart from an attempt by Uhlmann, which Wilhelm blocked for a corner (5th), there was no danger. The blue-blacks only had two transition situations in the first quarter of an hour, each via pick, but these also ended with no real opportunity. Little by little, the FCS also got more ball possession phases. Sontheimer recorded the first completion. He took measurements from the second row after a corner was defended. In the middle, Collins kept his head clear so that Männel did not have to intervene in the Auer box (19th). Shortly later, Clausen also tried from a distance. Menzel grabbed it safely (23′). In the 31st minute there was danger on both sides. Fahrner was initially given too much space from 16 meters and shot into the far corner. Collins made a slight deflection, but Männel parried for a corner. As a result, Stefaniak played a great ball deep. Fahrner actually had the ball before Bär, but shot at Auer, who headed freely towards Menzel but failed to hit the post. Baumann had the next big chance. He was very stable against Collins on a high ball and immediately looked for the finish. Männel shortened the space significantly and cleared (39′). The Auer goalkeeper also saved Sontheimer’s attempt from 20 meters (41′). Stefaniak had another opportunity with a free kick from a central position, but fired the ball past the right (45′). Then there was a break. The basically controlled game of both teams continued in the second half, which is why there were no further opportunities for the time being. Until the 56th minute. Kamara made a great switch and passed to Pick in the penalty area. Pick passed on to Sontheimer. The midfield engine took off from 16 meters and failed on the crossbar. Baumann put the follow-up shot over it. And the next high-profile star followed. Pick took on the entire defense at the penalty area and got into shooting position. Männel stood in the way again (59′). The Luginger team seemed more grippy than Aue in this phase and achieved further goals. But neither Pick from 17 meters from the half-left position (65th) nor Krahn from the same distance from the half-right position were lucky (68th). Only centimeters were missing. But Aue quickly worked his way back in and got into the penalty area himself. Ocansey was prevented from taking a well-aimed shot in time (71′) and Stefaniak’s cross pass only found Menzel in the middle (76′). Luginger brought in fresh offensive personnel for the final quarter of an hour. First Elongo-Yombo replaced Kamara (76th). Then Schmidt and Vasiliadis came on for Baumann and Krahn (85th). Suddenly a great opportunity for Aue. After a long drive from Männel, Bormuth rolled past the ball. Ocansey was therefore free to go through, but clearly lobbed over it (86′). Civeja was substituted on for Pick (90th). But he wasn’t supposed to succeed in one crucial scene either. In the last second of added time he almost became the match winner. Elongo-Yombo only failed because of Männel. Civeja put the follow-up shot wide. So there was a scoreless division of points.
