Full time: Augsburg 2-0 Union Berlin

Augsburg return to winning ways after last week's defeat in Hoffenheim, moving up to 39 points, just three behind sixth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. After an uneventful and goalless first half, Augsburg took the lead early in the second half when Phillip Tietz capitalised on a mistake by Diogo Leite. Former Union forward Sven Michel put the seal on the win in the closing stages, leaving the visitors looking over their shoulders nervously at the relegation zone.

Big save from Dahmen!

Král finds himself in a pocket of space in the left-hand side of the Augsburg penalty area. He doesn't have a lot to aim for in the box so he drills a low shot towards the near post. hoping to catch Dahmen off guard. The Augsburg goalkeeper reacts brilliantly though, sticking out a leg to preserve his clean sheet.

Chance for Union!

Laidouni floats a cross into the box from the right, aiming for Volland arriving at the back post. However, a team-mate gets in his way and prevents the forward from having a clean header - much to the frustration of everyone involved.

That'll surely do it!

Michel scores against his former club with a goal that all but guarantees Augsburg all three points. Maier has the ball just outside the Union penalty area and spies Michel off to his left. The forward takes one touch to set himself before rifling it high into the net. There's a VAR review for a potential offside against Michel in the build-up, but the goal is given!

Chance to seal it!

Another mistake from Union almost lets Augsburg in. Haberer gives the ball away in midfield and suddenly the home side dart forward, three on one. Biel's pass is a touch behind Demirović though, and he has to check his run, allowing Union back in to recover.

Chess tactics

It's a game of move and counter-move with this flurry of substitutions as both coaches try to steer momentum their way.

Not much in it

Tietz's finish early in this half is the difference between the sides so far.

Over from Schäfer

Augsburg struggle to clear a ball inside their penalty area and it eventually falls kindly for Schäfer, whose first-time effort whistles narrowly over the bar.

Augsburg lead!

They barely had a sight of goal in the first half, but Augsburg broken the deadlock with their first chance early in this half. Tietz capitalises on a sloppy back pass from Leite, intercepting the ball and coolly slotting into the net from close range.

Half-time: Augsburg 0-0 Union Berlin

The teams have largely cancelled each other out so far, although Union have probably shaded matters in terms of possession, territory and chances created. Neither side have carved out any absolutely gilt-edged opportunities though – hopefully they're saving them all for the second half.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals> xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals> goals).
The visitors have had more of the game so far, with that opening for Král a few moments ago their best chance to score so far.

Safe to say that a number of players will be returning home with a bruise or two after this one.

Chance for Král!

Augsburg lose possession in the middle of the park, allowing Union to break forward straight away. Kaufmann sprints into space down the left and crosses into the middle for Král, who slides in at full stretch but can't make a clean connection with the cross.

Rønnow alert

Bauer floats a cross from the right into the Union penalty area, seeking out Demirović, but the Union goalkeeper comes off his line and plucks the ball out of the air with a minimum of fuss.

Almost in!

Hollerbach spins behind his marker to chase a long ball into the box. It's a foot race between him and Dahmen to get there first, with the goalkeeper eating up enough ground to make a good save before Hollerbach's flick could go anywhere.

Thorup's view on Union

"Union has done well in the last few games. They come to the WWK ARENA with a lot of commitment and physicality, but we will try to beat them with our strengths."

Bjelica's view on Augsburg

"They are a very strong team who play very direct football. In Ermedin Demirovic, they have a striker that is very dangerous, and Phillip Tietz is another who is awkward to face. As a team, they are difficult to face and deserve to where they are in the table. However, despite our absentees, we will look to play our game and pick up all three points."

Augsburg's aims of securing European qualification were dealt a blow at the weekend though, with a 3-1 loss against fellow top-six hopefuls Hoffenheim.

Contrasting objectives

Where Union are hoping to secure their top-flight status, Augsburg have rather more lofty aims in mind. Currently in seventh place and six points behind a hot-and-cold Eintracht Frankfurt side, Jess Thorup's charges could still finish in the top six for the season is out.
