Guirassy Sends Dortmund to Second With 1-0 Win at Augsburg

Kovac rotated after a marathon cup tie to manage workloads before a trip to Manchester City.

Overview

  • The winner came eight minutes before halftime when an Augsburg clearance ricocheted off Han-Noah Massengo and fell to Serhou Guirassy, who finished past Finn Dahmen.
  • The strike ended the forward's four-game league drought and lifted him to second in the Bundesliga scoring race behind Harry Kane.
  • Dortmund remain four points behind Bayern Munich, who hold a game in hand after Friday's result.
  • The start was briefly delayed as Dortmund supporters threw tennis balls onto the pitch to protest late kick-off times and push for earlier Saturday slots.
  • Augsburg's slide continued with six losses in nine league matches and a recent cup exit to second-tier Bochum, leaving them three points above the drop zone under coach Sandro Wagner.
