Osnabrück (dpa / lni) - VfL Osnabrück continued its negative run in the 2nd Bundesliga.
Against FC Erzgebirge Aue, coach Marco Grote's team lost 1-0 (0-1) at the end of the first half of the season and thus lost five of the last six games.
With 22 points, the Lower Saxony remain in eleventh place after the fifth home defeat in a row.
Aue climbed to seventh place thanks to the hit from John-Patrick Strauss (13th minute).
In the first half of the season, Aue was the dominant team from the start.
The team of coach Dirk Schuster looked more snappy and was rewarded after 13 minutes.
A cross from Dimitrij Nazarov headed Strauss from a very short distance into the Osnabrück goal for a 1-0 lead.
The Schuster-Elf was more determined in the course of the game, but missed an earlier decision.
They were also unlucky with a free kick from Jan Hochscheidt, whose shot landed on the post (56th).
VfL coach Grote tried to bring new momentum with new staff.
Joker Luc Ihorst (89.) did not have more than a header chance.
The striker also saw the red card in stoppage time (90th + 1).
