Julian Nagelsmann’s team did their homework last Friday and won the Bundesliga home game against FC Augsburg. The Saxons had everything under control right at the beginning and first shot opportunities through Nkunku (5th) and Olmo (23rd). The Fuggerstädters fought hard against it and collected four yellow cards after the first half hour. In the final phase of the first 45 minutes RB then rewarded himself and took advantage of two opportunities for a 2-0 half-time tour through Dani Olmo (38th, foulelfmeter) and Nkunku (43rd). After the break tea, the guests became more courageous, but repeatedly bounced off the league’s best defence. It only became exciting again in the final phase, when the referee whistled penalties for the Bavarian Swabians. Caligiuri certainly turned the penalty into 1:2 (77.). After that Leipzig missed the third goal – Poulsen failed at FCA-Keeper (78th) and Nkunku hit the post (85th). Then the home team got lucky – a Gumny shot caught Gulacsi (90th) and Klostermann almost scored his own goal in the third minute of the replay.
