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.

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.
