Erzgebirge had fun at their own home (HDI-Arena) last time out, beating Ingolstadt 1-0. Omar Sijaric scored. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager C. Müller when Omar Sijaric scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 53rd minute. Attacker Dimitriy Nazarov got a player rating of 7.81 in the game.
