Schweinfurt 05 FC 2-4 Erzgebirge Aue | 3.Liga | 16 May 2026

Erzgebirge Aue came from behind to beat Schweinfurt 05 FC 4‑2 at the Sachs-Stadion, maintaining their push for a top‑half finish. The match was a tale of two halves: Schweinfurt dominated early, but Aue’s second‑half turnaround was relentless.

Match Overview

Schweinfurt started brightly and took a 2‑0 lead inside 20 minutes through goals from Florian Bittroff and Kai Wagner. However, Aue responded before the break, and then completely took over after the interval. By the final whistle, the visitors had scored four times, leaving the home crowd stunned.

Key Moments

• 8' – Bittroff curls home a fine opener after a corner is cleared.
• 19' – Wagner doubles Schweinfurt's lead with a close-range volley.
• 35' – Aue's Tom Baumgart pulls one back with a header.
• 51' – Dennis Bork equalises with a low drive from 20 yards.
• 68' – Bork scores his second, a powerful shot into the roof of the net.
• 79' – Substitute Lukas Krell seals the win with a breakaway goal.

Tactical Story

Schweinfurt's high press worked wonders early, forcing Aue into errors. But once Aue adjusted by dropping their midfield deeper and playing longer balls in behind, the home side's defensive line became exposed. Aue's 4‑4‑2 morphing into a 4‑2‑4 in attack overwhelmed Schweinfurt's narrow shape.

Standout Performers

Dennis Bork was the hero for Aue, scoring a brace and creating the fourth goal. His energy and intelligent runs dragged Schweinfurt's centre‑backs out of position. On the losing side, Florian Bittroff was a constant threat but lacked support after the break.

Season Impact

Aue move up to 11th, seven points clear of the relegation playoff spot. Schweinfurt remain in 15th, still not safe, and will need to tighten their defensive organisation if they want to avoid a nervy finish to the season.
