Full-time: Dortmund 2-0 Augsburg

A comfortable victory for the hosts as Dortmund dominated, and they would have won by more if it weren't for Dahmen. Goals from Adeyemi and Reggiani on either side of half-time were the difference.

Big chance

Bellingham sets Adeyemi free, and the forward dips past an Augsburg defender before shooting from around the penalty spot, but he can only find Dahmen, who makes a good stop.

82'

Dortmund deservedly lead

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 hosts have been top class today.

Reggiani heads home

And the 18-year-old is absolutely delighted as he scores his first-ever senior goal after meeting a corner from Ryerson. The youngster charges off, celebrating with both those on the pitch and on the bench. What a special moment! He is now the youngest ever Italian goalscorer in the Bundesliga.

Nmecha bumps into the referee whilst trying to latch onto the ball, and the referee, rather theatrically, hits the deck. There is a short stoppage before the game gets back underway as the match official recovers his breath.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Dortmund 1-0 Augsburg

An entertaining half comes to a close with BVB leading 1-0 thanks to a goal from Adeyemi, but it could easily be two or three. Dortmund have been superb, working chances beautifully and hitting the woodwork twice. Can Augsburg make them rue those missed chances in the second half?

Half-time

45'

Good football

Ryerson and Sabitzer combine neatly to set the former free in the box, but his cross is cleared behind for a corner.

44'

Beier heads over

Ryerson chips a delightful cross to the back post, which is met by Beier, but the striker's diving header loops over the bar.

41'

Rieder has a go

The Augsburg man picks up the ball after Claude-Maurice's free-kick is cleared and has a go, but his bouncing effort is straight at Kobel.

Ball Recovery Time

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).

Claude-Maurice misses the target

Fellhauer finds Claude-Maurice in the box, and he has a go, but his effort drifts wide of the far post.

35'

Bellingham denied

The young Englishman has a pop from some 30 yards out, and Dahmen has to be alert to leap across and propel the dipping effort out for a corner. After the corner is delivered, it's Adeyemi who eventually has a chance as he heads the ball over from a good position.

34'

Schlotterbeck misses the target

The younger of the two brothers gets up well to meet a corner, but his effort loops wide.

0:26

Woodwork again!

That's superb flowing stuff from the hosts. Beier flicks the ball into the path of Sabitzer, who in turn pulls off a nice flick of his own to find Adeyemi. He lets fly with his right from the edge of the box, but his shot bounces clear off the woodwork.

30'

Almost calamitous

Ryerson sends in a corner that Dahmen tries to punch, but he gets it all wrong, instead punching the ball awkwardly towards his own goal. Luckily for the goalkeeper, he has time to react, and he is able to punch the ball a second time, just about knocking the ball over his own crossbar.

Off the bar!

Ryerson bundles his way into the box before setting Beier, who takes a lovely first touch before whipping a powerful shot against the crossbar. Augsburg then fail to clear, and the ball falls to Adeyemi, whose shot deflects narrowly wide via a deflection off Schlotterbeck.

0:32

It wouldn't have counted

Ribeiro seems to be through one-on-one, but Kobel makes himself big to deny the striker. After the ball goes behind, the flag goes up anyway, so it wouldn't have counted.

23'

Anton's mistake goes unpunished

Dahmen catches a cross and looks to send Ribeiro forward immediately. Anton should get to the ball first, but he miscues his clearance, giving Ribeiro space to shoot. However, he can only fire over the bar.

Beier swivels neatly on the edge of the box and sends in a cross, but Dahmen is there to claim.

Watch: Augsburg 0-1 Dortmund - previous meeting

Serhou Guirassy scored the only goal when the sides met earlier in the campaign. The Guinean, who was also on target last weekend in Cologne, is Dortmund's 12-goal top scorer in the Bundesliga so far this season.

Watch: Cologne 1-2 Dortmund - highlights

Maximilian Beier scored one and made another as Dortmund ground out a win over 10-man Cologne. BVB stay 11 points behind leaders Bayern Munich, having lost just twice in the league all season (home and away to the defending champions).

Watch: Leipzig 2-1 Augsburg - highlights

Augsburg took the lead in Leipzig, but were undone by two second-half strikes, including a stoppage-time own goal from Arthur Chaves. The result ended a three-game winning run, but Manuel Baum's side still have a healthy seven-point buffer on the bottom three.
