Pure drama: Erfurt fights its way to a 2-2 draw against Zwickau!
The exciting duel between FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt and FSV Zwickau took place today in the Steigerwaldstadion in Thuringia, which ended in a 2-2 draw. A game that had both dramatic moments and impressive twists. Zwickau dominated in the first half and scored two goals from Haubner (38th minute) and Eixler (44th minute). The first goal benefited from an unfortunate pass by the Erfurt keeper Otto. But the hosts did not allow themselves to be discouraged, improved after the break and equalized through mistakes (50th minute) and Durakov (80th minute). The decision was made in an exciting final phase in which Zwickau ultimately could not win the game despite good chances.
In the first 45 minutes, Zwickau showed a clear superiority. Haubner was the beneficiary of a bad mistake by Erfurt's goalkeeper Otto and took the opportunity to score 0-1. Shortly afterwards, Eixler increased the lead to 0:2 after a quick counterattack. At this point the game seemed already lost for the red and whites from Erfurt, but the football couldn't have been unpredictable. In the second half, Erfurt woke up and showed a completely different face.
A rebellion from the people of Erfurt
In the final phase, however, things became very tense again. Zwickau had the opportunity to make it 3-2 with a dangerous shot from the edge of the penalty area, but Erfurt's defender Boboy blocked the ball at the last second (89th minute), and the last corner in stoppage time also had no score for Zwickau (90th + 4th minute).
