Around the 3. Liga: A Whirlwind of Results
Elsewhere in the league, things have been pretty wild. Dynamo Dresden pulled off a nail-biting 2-1 victory against SV Sandhausen – much-needed to boost their promotion hopes. But their coach, Thomas Stamm, wasn't exactly thrilled, emphasizing the need for a more consistent performance going forward. You know how it is sometimes; even a win can feel stressful. Meanwhile, Energie Cottbus had a disappointing 1-1 draw against SpVgg Unterhaching. Their coach, Claus-Dieter Wollitz, wasn’t happy at all about their first-half performance, and let's just say he didn't mince his words.
And then there's FC Erzgebirge Aue. They suffered a pretty brutal 1-5 defeat against SC Verl. Ouch. While their relegation worries seem to be somewhat behind them for now, their coach, Jens Härtel, wasn’t shy about his disappointment, describing their first half as a "complete system crash." It happens.
