3.Liga, Round 2: Energie on top

Round 2, Aug 1-2

Energie Cottbus sits alone on top, after a hard fought win at Bremen-II. The easterners were the better side, and fully deserved the win.

Somewhat of a festival in Würzburg, as they celebrated a return to professional ranks. They hosted Dresden, one of the promotion favorites, and gave Dynamo all they could handle. Indeed, they were even down a man, but still pressured and eventually took the lead.

Mainz-II discovered that things aren’t going to be as easy as last week at Kiel. They hosted promoted Magdeburg, and the ex-DDR traditional came with about 1,000 fans in tow. FCM had the hosts on the ropes, but a strong 2nd half by Mainz was able to square the match.

Preußen Münster impressed on the road, beating Stuttgart-II. The visitors were down a man most of the match, and still outplayed the mini-VfBers.

Relegated sides Aue and Aalen are not off to the best of starts. Aalen dominated but had to settle for an away draw at Fortuna Köln thanks to some excellent goalkeeping by veteran Poggenborg. Aue was dumped by Sonnenhof and is still waiting for a goal.

Kiel came back strong after a horrible start last week. They were solid and get the win at Halle, who are perhpas the first team in crisis.

Total attendance 50,345 (avg 5,034), 36.1% capacity, sellout in Würzburg
