Aue also becomes dangerous after a throw-in. This sails from the left into the opponent’s penalty area, the second ball gets Nazarov, who hits it directly with the left from 25 meters. The shot is on goal with too little guts and Golz can grab it.

Aue now has more of the ball and acts more purposefully with it. Before things get dangerous, there is usually an Essene in between.

After a free kick by the violets, the second ball stays with Lila, who doesn’t hesitate for long. Thiel shoots at the box from 20 meters, little uncertainty from Golz, but the ball drips from the keeper’s arms into the goal. The subsequent short corner does not pose any danger.

The first offensive action belongs to Aue: After Essen lost the ball, a cross is hit from the left side from the half field, but Golz safely punches the ball away. Young rectifies the situation.

Aue is low and lurking on the counterattack. Essen tries to lure the violets out of their reserve, but they stand firm and so there are very quiet opening minutes.

Essen lets the ball circulate in their own ranks and presents themselves as a self-confident home team.

The ball rolls. Referee Eckermann approved the game. Essen plays in white jerseys, Aue in purple jerseys.

At RWE, backing and first-choice goalkeeper Jakob Golz returns to the box after recovering from injury. In addition, top scorer Simon Engelmann is in the starting eleven, as well as the two newly signed Felix Götze and Clemens Fandrich. With the experienced newcomers, the turning point should come today. Coach Dabrowski changes five times: In addition to the aforementioned Golz, Götze and Fandrich, the defenders Ríos-Alonso and Wiegel start compared to last week.
18:39
At Aue, top performer Marvin Stefaniak is out with a muscle injury. He will be replaced by veteran Dimitrij Nazarov, who will take care of the creative moments today. In addition, coach Timo Rost changes his team in three positions: Borys Tashchy, Marco Schikora and Ulrich Taffertshofer can prove themselves from the start today.
18:33
At the start of the seventh matchday there is an extremely explosive duel: the table bottom from Essen receives the penultimate from Aue. Neither team has been able to win any of the first six games so far and thus hold the red lantern together. In the red and white, the form curve is pointing slightly upwards – the promoted team has not lost the last two games. Nevertheless, Aue, as a second division relegated team, goes into the game as a favorite. Despite being in the second division last year, the team was disappointing across the board, but maybe they’ll be able to turn things around today.
