Overview

• FC Augsburg secured their first home win under Sandro Wagner, easing immediate pressure after a run of defeats.
• Noahkai Banks, 18, opened the scoring from Mert Kömür’s assist, Kömür struck the second and helped create the third.
• Wagner overhauled his XI with five changes, adjusted the defensive setup, and deployed Kömür in a roaming false-nine role.
• Expected-goals measured the match as essentially even at 1.87 to 1.86, and Wolfsburg coach Paul Simonis called it his team’s worst game.
• Wagner reacted with restraint and a finger-point toward the stands, later saying it was aimed at family as reports noted differing explanations between his TV interview and press conference.
