Full-time: Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 Augsburg

Despite being under pressure for the majority of the match, Augsburg leave Leverkusen with all three points! The hosts took the lead through Schick's brilliant header early on, but Augsburg struck back immediately courtesy of Fabian Rieder's deflected shot. For the remainder of the match, Finn Dahmen made a series of saves to keep his side in it and, at the death, Rieder netted his second from the spot to clinch the victory.

Leverkusen with the better chances

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).

However, Augsburg remain level.

Half-time: Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Augsburg

We are all square at the BayArena at half-time.

Since then, Finn Dahmen has made a number of saves to keep the scores level.
