Chemnitzer FC and FC Carl Zeiss Jena draw 1-1

Chemnitzer FC and FC Carl Zeiss Jena played to a 1-1 draw in front of nearly 8,500 fans at the Stadion An der Gellertstraße. Emilio Munser scored for Jena early in the match, but Chemnitz managed to equalize despite playing with a numerical advantage for much of the game.

The match was marked by significant disciplinary action. Jena's Manassé Eshele received a second yellow card for a handball in the first half, forcing his team to play with ten men for approximately 45 minutes. Following the match, Jena coach Marco Grote expressed frustration with the refereeing, specifically citing the 11 minutes of stoppage time added due to a pyrotechnic display.

Chemnitzer FC coach Benjamin Duda noted that his team created several high-quality chances but struggled to overcome Jena goalkeeper Marius Liesegang, who was credited with a strong performance to secure the draw for the visitors.
