Aue:
For the team of coach Daniel Meyer went on the final day with the home game against Darmstadt a very changeable first round to the end. On the one hand Aue could win against teams like against St. Pauli, Kiel or Greuther Fürth. Above all, the 5: 0 in the shamrocks on 16 Matchday was certainly one of the positive surprises of violets. On the other hand, there were also bankruptcies at the bottom of Ingolstadt or at home against Sandhausen. In the end, the people in charge felt that there were a few more points in it. The game matches the lilies last weekend. Against defensive Darmstadt had the team of coach Meyer first big problems to come into play.
In the second round, however, the hosts had found an offensive recipe and went with goals in the 50th and 64th minute 2-0 lead. Due to a deep sleep phase of the defense between the 76th and 78th minute the violets gave away their comfortable lead within a few seconds. The substitutions of Jan Hochscheidt, who was injured and the yellow-red endangered Philipp Riese could not cope Aue so well. Also coach Meyer confirmed that you could not replace the two just in the backward movement. If they fail, the crew have a big problem. In the offensive, the new strike duo Testroet / Krüger has become an important building block. Both have run since the 14th match for two in the lead. Since then, six strikes have been made by the strikers. Against Berlin, the FCE also has to do without the barred Kempe and the injured Rapp.
Union Berlin:
Already before the end of the year, a balance sheet was drawn in Köpenick. The falls with the third place in the table and 17 games in a row without defeat, of course, positive. That means a new record in the club history of Union. The change under the new coach Urs Fischer was successfully mastered. It’s not just the results that are right, but the team also convinces through active and dominant football. However too often not yet over the entire season. With twelve goals Union has the best defense in the league. On the last day of the game, Fischer-Elf welcomed VfL Bochum at the Alte Försterei. The guests played a good first half and were the busier, more aggressive and dangerous team. The Iron had big problems with the intense game of the VfL. So the Berliners stood deep in their own half and appeared offensively hardly in appearance.
Bochum, however, could not turn his superiority into goals. In the half-time break Coach Fischer had then probably found the right address. His team came to the square as if transformed. Berlin made the game and laced the guests in their half. Consequently, Union took the lead in the 60th minute, albeit after a penalty. Then the Köpenicker played the game in the style of a top team to an end. On the defensive you left nothing more and put on the offensive again and again dangerous pinholes. A counterattack in the 87th minute then the decision to 2: 0. After his suspended ban Florian Hübner should probably return to the starting eleven again in Aue. For him then probably Michael Parensen back on the bench.
