Union Held to 1-1 Draw at Augsburg in Lone Thursday Fixture After Baumgart Extension

The draw came a day after Union extended head coach Steffen Baumgart’s contract.

Overview

  • Alexis Claude-Maurice put Augsburg ahead with a long-range strike in first-half stoppage time before Marin Ljubicic equalized for Union in the 90th minute.
  • Derrick Köhn was sent off in the 89th minute for Augsburg, and Union leveled moments later through the substitute.
  • Augsburg remain winless in four matches under coach Manuel Baum and continue to hover near the relegation fight.
  • Union are unbeaten in four league games, collecting eight points during that stretch after stabilizing under Baumgart.
  • The match was the Bundesliga’s only Thursday game this season, following pre-match talk of a difficult test and a missed chance for Union to reach the touted 25-point Hinrunde mark.
