BORUSSIA-PARK

Full-time: Gladbach 0-3 Augsburg

Take a bow Alexis Claude-Maurice. The Augsburg attacker netted an impressive second-half treble to lift the visitors at Borussia-Park. It was goalkeeper Jonas Omlin's 28th-minute sending off for the hosts that swayed this encounter, however, with the Foals eventually running out of gallop a man down.

Strolling to victory

Augsburg will be up to 10th in the standings after this win, which also extends their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to seven games.

83'

Wolf off target

The Germany international sends a free kick over the bar as we count down to the end of this one.

Flawless Claude-Maurice

As we all know, Germans like their hat-tricks scored without interruption. Alexis Claude-Maurice's treble today fit that description, with no goals from any other player coming in between his three goals. That makes the French attacker the first player to score a 'flawless' hat-trick for Augsburg in the Bundesliga.

Three and easy

Augsburg's top scorer takes a couple of touches across the Gladbach box to work himself some space for the shot. He sits Weigl on his backside before pinging a shot into the corner of the net. Game, set and match.

The Augsburg substitute sends an angled header onto the roof of the net. There is an air of resignation among the home fans here.

In-form Claude-Maurice

Alexis Claude-Maurice now has eight goals (and one assist) for the campaign. He's netted three doubles - including today's - in the Bundesliga in 2024/25.

61'

Augsburg have daylight

It's that man again! Augsburg work the corner to Claude-Maurice, who once again is all on his own. He shoots low from the edge of the area and the ball skims under Sippel's foot and lifts into the net. Could the keeper have done better there? Maybe, but Augsburg won't care.

Ullrich sighter

Lukas Ullrich is released down the left and the 20-year-old hits a cross-shot first time. The ball zips just wide of the angle of goal but Dahmen looked happy enough to let that go.

New pattern

Borussia have been allowing Augsburg more of the ball since the break, with the Foals perhaps taking a more cautious approach now that they're down to ten men.

Tietz header

A lofted ball in behind the Gladbach defence is met by Tietz's looping header, which flies just over.

Kick-off!

Half-time

Half-time: Gladbach 0-0 Augsburg

Jonas Omlin's first-half sending off for a foul on Phillip Tietz has failed to stem the end-to-end nature from this game. Both sides have had decent chances to hit the front in a highly-entertaining contest, but we await the breakthrough in an encounter that had a delayed start due to traffic congestion.

45'

Time added on

We're into an extra six minutes of injury-time here at Borussia-Park.

43'

Dahmen again

Augsburg's goalkeeper is having an outstanding game here and he's in the right place to block from Robin Hack - who shoots at close range - for his latest save.

Key moment?

The talking point of the half so far has no doubt been the sending off of Gladbach captain and goalkeeper Omlin after he hampered Tietz's goalscoring opportunity.

36'

Finn Dahmen heroics

Augsburg's 26-year-old shot stopper pulls off THREE superb, flying saves in quick succession to deny Itakura, Scally and then Elvedi. Incredible!

Omlin ordered off!

A poor back pass sees Tietz racing through all on his own. Omlin is off his line and charges down the attacker. The Gladbach goalkeeper takes Tietz out and the referee is straight over to whip out a red card. Zero protest from Omlin, he knows.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Tietz lets fly

The Augsburg forward spins and belts a right-footed shot from distance high at the target. The ball fizzes narrowly wide of the upright, but Omlin may have had it covered. Still, a chance.

No way through

It's been a touch stop-start, this game. The Gladbach support have not let up and are urging their side forward in order to create what would be a first decent home chance.

Kleindienst dangerous

Tim Kleindienst chops down Wolf, who collapses in a heap. That's not a good tackle at all, with the forward sprinting towards his man and going in two-footed. A booking ensues.

Foals' possession, Augsburg chances

The hosts are bossing the ball here in Gladbach, but it's Augsburg that have looked the more threatening going forward thus far.

Omlin focus

Wolf's corner from the left is heading towards the near post and might have squeezed in were it not for Omlin's quick reaction, the goalkeeper leaping and fisting clear before falling back into the goal net.

Augsburg alive

The visitors suddenly spring to life and Dimitrios Giannoulis finds space wide on the left. His whipped cross is a fraction too high for Tietz but Gladbach conceded a corner at the far post. The set-piece comes to nothing.

Stöger opening

Kevin Stöger finds himself unmarked in the middle but it all seems to happen a little to quickly for the Austrian and his delay allows Augsburg to react and clear,

Peeep!

Gladbach get us underway.

Kick-off!

Here come the teams!

A little later than scheduled due to traffic congestion around the stadium, but the teams have finally made their way out onto the pitch here.

Super atmosphere

The stadium is bouncing as we await the appearance of both teams. The home fans have been enjoying what is their side's best season in five years and they know a win could possibly take the Foals into the top six today.

Jess Thorup on facing Gladbach

"They're playing well at the moment and on a good run. Saturday won't be an easy game for us. It's about maintaining the momentum and winning the next game. The Leipzig game was a clear improvement for me, overall, there was more in it for us. It's nice that we were able to show that we can also get points against a top five team."

Gerardo Seoane on facing Augsburg

"They're a very robust opponent, physically and tactically strong. So it isn't going to be easy to create scoring chances. We saw it in the away game earlier this season – we had a lot more of the ball but we struggled to work it into dangerous areas. I expect more of the same this time around."

Early team news

Gerardo Seoane will be without Franck Honorat, Rocco Reitz and Moritz Nicolas for this clash. Augsburg, meanwhile, will be missing five first-team players, a group which includes Mergim Berisha. Marius Wolf is a doubt but has not yet been ruled out.

Back on form

Gladbach are currently having their best season in five years, having amassed 34 points in 22 points. In fact, they already have more points than they managed in the whole of last season.

Tale of the tape

Augsburg have won five of their past eight matches against Borussia Mönchengladbach, including the last two. They also have the chance to complete the season double over the Foals for just the second time. Gladbach's last win over Augsburg was in 2023.

Undefeated streaks

Gladbach are four games without defeat (W3, D1), while Augsburg haven't lost in six (W3, D3). The Foals have also lost only one of their last nine home fixtures (1-0 against Bayern), with the Bavarians unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga game on the road (W2, D2).
