Erzgebirge Aue left no stone unturned before their fans as they canceled the two goal lead by the visitors after return from recess.

With six minutes to end the entire proceedings, the home side drew level with Jan Hochscheidt. Okyere Wriedt, who joined the fray midway through the second half pulled the all important away winner on the 90th minute to settle the score at 3-2.

It is the 27-year-old’s first goal of the season in as low as three games for the German Bundesliga 2 club which he joined Dutch club, Willem II.

The ebony black striker has previously played for the second side of German giants, Bayern Munich but failed to command a regular shirt at the senior side. He has made just three senior appearances for Ghana’s senior male national team, the Black Stars.
