Game, set and match!
Schwäbe goes up for the ensuing corner, which is headed straight out to Claude-Maurice. He races over halfway, before firing into the unguarded net from range.

Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Off the line!
Almost a bizarre own goal at the WWK Arena. Schlotterbeck initially does well to block a goal-bound header, but then contrives to redirect the ball back towards Dahmen before rectifying the situation.

Tactical
Keitel's booked for delaying the game and preventing Cologne from advancing any further into the Augsburg half.

Final change
Fynn Schenten makes his seventh Bundesliga appearance. The 18-year-old forward has scored 16 times for the Cologne youths so far this season - can he rescue a point for the senior side here?

Augsburg pressure
Rav van den Berg gets in the way of a bulldozing Claude-Maurice run into the penalty box. Fellhauer chips the loose ball to the edge of the area for Schlotterbeck, who comfortably clears the crossbar with his shot.

There's the change
It's Bayern Munich loanee Chávez who's sent on, the Peruvian making his second Bundesliga appearance since making the switch. Positive from Kwasniok as his side chase the equaliser.

Spark needed
Cologne are readying another change. They just can't get going in the final third.

Expected Goals
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).

Augsburg switch
Warm applause for goalscorer Ribeiro, who just put away his second goal in four Bundesliga games. Gregoritsch, with three goals since returning to the club in January, is the Portuguese forward's replacement.

Fresh faces, fresh legs and a card
Teenagers Saïd El Mala and Youssoupha Niang are sent on to add fresh impetus on the Cologne flanks. Augsburg's Cédric Zesiger was just booked, meaning he'll miss next weekend's trip to Leipzig.

Diving save!
Schwäbe's at full stretch to stop Claude-Maurice from nestling a long-range strike into the bottom corner of his goal.
64'
Deflected!
Zesiger gets into a decent position in the Cologne box. The ball sits up for Claude-Maurice, but it's a little behind him and he drives wide off a Cologne shirt. Nothing comes of the resultant corner.
59'
Not far away!
Waldschmidt rises unmarked to meet a left-wing cross, but his header goes just wide of the far post. Dahmen, who lost his footing as he moved to meet the ball, might have been beaten.
56'
Augsburg lead!
Breakthrough at the WWK Arena! Banks is allowed to carry the ball a good 20 yards into the Cologne area. The American cuts a brilliant ball back into the six-yard box, where Rodrigo Ribeiro converts with an impudent, flicked finish. Lovely goal!

Banks bamboozled

Half-time
43'
Kömür!
Chaos in the Cologne box as they struggle to clear their lines. Kömür shows quick feet inside the box to get a shot away, but there are too many bodies in the way and it's blocked.

Woodwork!

Lund has a go
Waldschmidt's corner from the left is only half cleared to Lund, lurking outside the Augsburg penalty area. He side-foots an effort towards goal but it's blocked by Ribeiro.
33'
No way through
The last of Augsburg's four shots so far arrived in the tenth minute. Since then, they've struggled to create any openings.

Bülter almost in
The forward takes a long ball brilliantly in his stride and sprints into the box, but he's nudged off it by Zesiger and the ball goes out for a goal kick.
27'
Sitting back
Having pushed high up the pitch initially, Augsburg are now conserving some energy and allowing Cologne to hold onto the ball some more.
23'
Spell of possession
Cologne have kept the ball for a decent chunk there, but it was around the halfway line for the most part and they couldn't get anywhere near the Augsburg box.

More on that Cologne team
Head coach Lukas Kwasniok has made three changes to Cologne's starting XI compared to the 2-2 draw against Hoffenheim last week. El Mala has dropped to the bench with a slight injury, while Schmied and Sebulonsen have to miss out due to muscular complaints. Waldschmidt, Bülter and Simpson-Pusey are the players to come in.

Augsburg mark local history with special jersey
The club will wear a one-off jersey against Cologne that highlights the city's history and influence of the Fugger merchant family. “Augsburg is rich in history, from its Roman past to the Fugger era. With this new special-edition shirt, we're showing just how strongly that period continues to shape our city today," said Augsburg CEO Michael Ströll.
