Erzgebirge Aue is ready for the derby on Tuesday (7 p.m.) in Zwickau.
With the home win once morest Rot-Weiss Essen, Aue was able to secure a place in the middle of the table 3. Drop off league. And: For the fifth time this calendar year it was 2:1 for the FCE.
Man of the match: Dimitrij Nazarov (32). The offensive strategist converted two penalties (22nd, 30th). In addition, Nazarov got the first penalty. After a duel in the penalty area with ex-teammate Clemens Fandrich, Nazarov went down. Referee Tom Bauer (Mainz) wanted to see a foul.
The (wrong) decision excited Essen’s coach. Christoph Dabrowski (44) on “MagentaSport”: “Tell me where that’s a penalty? The referee stands five meters away. But I’m actually saying too much now. The referee is back in the dressing room apologizing for something. I’m tired of it.”
Again penalty Zoff in an FCE game! A week earlier, the Auer had following the Saxony duel in Dresden several controversial penalty area scenes complained. First and foremost Nazarov, who refrained from interviews this time.

Aue had to tremble
Nazarov preferred to let goals speak. Both 911s sunk dryly into the left corner. Before the second penalty, Bauer decided on a handball from Essen’s Rios Alonso.
After the break, Aue had to tremble. Thomas Eisfeld shortened for Essen (66th). In the final phase, Martin Männel held on to victory twice once morest Lawrence Ennali (84′, 90’+4′). The FCE captain: “An important result and experience before the start of the English weeks.”
