Overview
- Augsburg lost 2-3 at VfB Stuttgart after leading twice through Fabian Rieder and Han-Noah Massengo, with Maximilian Mittelstädt scoring a penalty and Deniz Undav netting twice including an 80th-minute winner.
- Sporting director Benjamin Weber said the team “must now urgently start getting points,” setting expectations for an immediate response after the international break.
- The club has four consecutive defeats in all competitions and only two wins from ten league matches, sitting level on points with FC St. Pauli and ahead only by goal difference.
- Head coach Sandro Wagner gave an emotional DAZN interview, calling himself sad and disappointed but insisting the squad is united and implementing his ideas.
- Club leaders continue to back Wagner for now, with the upcoming home match against newly promoted Hamburger SV framed internally as a result that needs to be forced, while players like Anton Kade argued the Stuttgart display merited at least a point.
