The first half hour is over. Mannheim has been struggling to find relief since going behind and should be particularly careful on the left side of defence.
29
19:35
What is Marco Schikora doing there? He tries to clear a Laurent Jans cross with his head. He succeeds in doing this, but the ball slips slightly over the top of his head and spins again very nasty and ultimately just wide of his own box. The subsequent corner for the Waldhof brings nothing.

19:32
After a return from Ivan Knezevic to Marvin Stefaniak in the guests’ penalty area, the latter dropped in a duel with Alexander Rossipal, but the referee immediately indicated that there was no penalty.
26
19:30
The Mannheim defense cannot get the duo Nazarov/Sijarić under control! As before the 1:0, Nazarov chips the ball to his teammate in the penalty area to the left, this time Bartels comes out in time and buries the ball in front of the scorer.
24
19:28
The long sampling phase of the two teams can thus be regarded as over.
22
19:27
Almost the 2:0 right behind! Shortly after taking the lead, the hosts stormed forward and after a one-two with Marvin Stefaniak on the right flank, Omar Sijarić found himself again directly in front of Jan-Christoph Bartels, but this time he was able to clear the shot from the penalty spot to a corner kick.

Tooor for Erzgebirge Aue, 1:0 by Omar Sijarić
The lead for the hosts! Dimitrij Nazarov lobs a sweet pass 20 meters from the box zentrak into the interface – Omar Sijarić starts skillfully and has a clear path. After three more steps he can effortlessly chip the ball past Jan-Christoph Bartels and net it flat on the bottom left!

19:22
In general, the motto “Nothing new in the East” applies. With both teams, the last pass to the top doesn’t work, in midfield you neutralize yourself as much as possible.

19:20
The first quarter of an hour is over. At first, Mannheim established itself in half of the hosts, but meanwhile the Erzgebirge team are also looking for chances against a very good defensive line of the SVW.

19:17
A through ball from the half of the violets for Antonio Jonjic was really well thought out, but he can no longer scrape the ball back into the field in front of the touchline.

19:15
You take him, I’ve got him for sure! The communication between Tim Danhof and Martin Männel was probably like this or something similar. Laurent Jans crosses into FC Erzgebirge Aue’s penalty area from the right side of the penalty area. Actually, this is routine for the FCE veteran in goal, but Danhof is really bad in the way of his keeper and so Marten Winkler almost has the opportunity to hole in for an early lead, but doesn’t get enough power in the shot.

Both teams have had a turbulent week. The hosts in particular found it difficult to find a training ground at all due to the weather conditions.
6.
19:10
Both sides are very offensive here very early on.
5.
19:09
On the other hand, a double chance for Waldhof! Dominik Martinovic shoots in the penalty area from a turn at Erik Majetschak, who throws himself into the trajectory from a short distance. Almost 20 meters from the goal, the ball rebounds to Bentley Baxter Bahn, whose powerful shot ultimately goes just wide of the left post.
3.
19:06
The first offensive action belongs to the hosts: Stefaniak ran to the edge of the penalty area on the left, but lost the running duel against Jans, who threw himself into the ball. The rebound lands on Sijaric, whose cross from the left half field Mannheim’s goalkeeper Bartels can easily get out of the air.

game start
19:02
But first there will be a minute’s silence for the victims of the terrible earthquake in Turkey, Syria and Kurdistan. A few “fans” in the ranks don’t want to take this to heart, for which other supporters rebuke them with clear requests for silence.
19:00
Led by the team of referees led by Tobias Schultes, the two teams run onto the pitch. Aue traditionally marches in purple jerseys, the guests come onto the field in yellow jerseys with green sleeves.
18:33
Mannheim coach Christian Neidhart is fielding the same starting eleven whose winning streak of three games ended after the World Cup break against Verl on Monday.
18:31
The 1:3 defeat in Osnabrück turned out to be more obvious than the course of the game implied, because the relegation candidate played a strong game over long stretches. That’s why Pavel Dotchev also largely trusts the starting eleven there. He only has to replace the suspended Sam Schreck – Ivan Knezevic starts for him today.
18:26
Since the change of coach, the Saxons have at least had a glimpse of the dawn and have left the immediate relegation zone. But it is important to remain vigilant at all times, because only one point separates the relegated team from the second division last season from 17th place.
18:23
Due to recent good performances – but also mistakes of the competition – the hosts were able to stalk their way up to fifth place. With a win, you could at least oust 1. FC Saarbrücken, who have the same number of points, from fourth place, which at least at the moment entitles them to be relegated, since SC Freiburg, who are second, are not allowed to move up.
18:21
A look back at the last matchday: Waldhof Mannheim dropped two points against SC Verl (1:1). The hosts from Aue, on the other hand, lost 3-1 to VfL Osnabrück.
18:11
Today’s Friday began with bad news for both teams. The DFB sports court sentenced the violets to a fine of 82,300 euros. The reason for this are incidents of pyrotechnics, vandalism and racism on the sidelines of the derby against FSV Zwickau last September. Waldhof is also allowed to charge fans for illegally burned pyrotechnics. 17,235 euros are due. Both teams have already agreed to the penalty.
17:58
Welcome to today’s game between FC Erzgebirge Aue and SV Waldhof Mannheim on matchday 22 of the 2022/23 third division season! It starts at 7:00 p.m. in the Erzgebirge Stadium.
