Overview
- Serhou Guirassy settled the match in the 37th minute, pouncing after Chrislain Matsima’s attempted header ricocheted off Han-Noah Massengo into his path for his first league goal since matchday three.
- Borussia Dortmund’s victory moved them provisionally up to second place and marked their sixth clean sheet in nine league games, a club record at this stage per reporting.
- The game was briefly halted twice due to away-end incidents, with tennis balls thrown onto the pitch early and pyrotechnics launched from the Dortmund section after halftime.
- Augsburg’s slide continued with a seventh defeat in nine competitive games and the Bundesliga’s leakiest defense (21 goals conceded), despite a more compact display and late pressure.
- Club leaders and players reiterated support for Wagner even as supporters displayed critical banners, with Augsburg now heading to Stuttgart and Leipzig widely described as the team of the moment before facing VfB.
