Guirassy Capitalizes on Error as Dortmund Edge Augsburg to Go Second

A defensive mix-up gifted Serhou Guirassy the winner, intensifying pressure on Augsburg coach Sandro Wagner.

Overview

  • Borussia Dortmund won 1-0 in Augsburg for a fourth straight competitive victory and a sixth Bundesliga clean sheet, a club record after nine matchdays.
  • The decisive 37th-minute strike came after Chrislain Matsima headed the ball off Han-Noah Massengo into Guirassy’s path.
  • FCA’s slump deepened to seven defeats in nine games across competitions, leaving them 15th with two league wins as fan frustration mounted.
  • Home supporters unfurled anti‑Wagner banners during the match, while visiting BVB fans caused two stoppages with tennis balls and later pyrotechnics; Wagner was applauded when he approached the stand after full time.
  • Dortmund managed key absences and returns as Nico Schlotterbeck missed out through illness and captain Emre Can rejoined the squad during a congested week that also included a cup shootout win in Frankfurt.
