Watch: Rieder - 'It's an incredible thing'

Full-time: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-4 Augsburg

Burkardt opened the scoring after six minutes but two goals in as many minutes after the break from Ibrahimović and Fellhauer overturned the deficit. Sensational strikes from Claude-Maurice and Rieder then sent Manuel Baum's charges to the Bundesliga summit, against an Eintracht Frankfurt side who remain winless.

Into added time

Gregoritsch denied!

Ibrahimović finds the Austrian on the edge of Frankfurt's penalty area. There, he takes one touch to put the ball onto his left foot before unleashing a curling effort which is denied by Atubolu at full stretch. What a save!

55'

A bitter pill for Atubolu

Frankfurt's custodian didn't face a single shot on target in the first half; in the second, he faced three - two of which went in.

53'

Matsima!

Just like last weekend, Matsima makes a potentially goal-saving tackle. This time, he blocks Burkardt's shot at the last minute. Huge!

End-to-end action

At the other end, Ebnoutalib plays the ball into the path of Burakardt, who collides with Dahmen in the penalty area, but the referee waves play on.

Augsburg lead!

Wow! Incredible scenes here at Deutsche Bank Park! Ibrahimović shoots from the edge of the penalty area, but Atubolu spills it and Fellhauer is there to fire home the rebound from close range!

Frankfurt's Japanese defender brings down Ibrahimović off the ball on the edge of the box. Augsburg have a free-kick in a dangerous position here...

Troublemaker

Ebnoutalib is causing all sorts of problems. His run in behind is spotted by Götze, but this time Brackelmann is on hand to thwart the danger with a last-ditch tackle.

40'

Ebnoutalib denied!

Atubolu plays a long ball, which is dangerously flicked on by an Augsburg head into the path of Ebnoutalib. Looking to lift the ball over the onrushing Dahmen, Augsburg's custodian gets an important touch on the ball.

37'

Teasing cross

Behrens, from deep on the left, whips in a dangerous cross but it evades everyone in the Frankfurt penalty area. From the other flank, Wolf delivers another cross but like the first, Augsburg are unable to capitalise on two excellent deliveries.

First caution

Augsburg's young American is shown the game's first booking after arriving late on Burkardt.

Busy Uzun

Playing as the No.10, Uzun is doing an excellent job of finding pockets of space between Augsburg's defence and midfield. The Turkey international also has the quality to play the final ball but other than the Eagles' only goal, the hosts have been unable to capitalise.

28'

Almost perfect

Frankfurt are playing some lovely one-touch football here. Uzun plays a lovely ball into the path of the overlapping Baum, who plays a low cross towards Burkardt, but Banks is on hand to block the German's shot. From the following corner, Onyedika unleashes a powerful shot, which is parried by Dahmen. It should be 2-0 here!

25'

Blocked

That's more like it from Augsburg. Gregoritsch plays a diagonal ball to Behrens, who plays it into the channel for Rieder. His cross is blocked, and Behrens' follow-up shot is also blocked for a corner, which doesn't amount to anything.

23'

In control

Frankfurt continue to assert their dominance, with Augsburg struggling to find any momentum. As soon as they have possession of the ball, the Eagles are on them, not giving their opponents a second.

A specialist in scoring important goals

27 of Burkardt's 55 Bundesliga goals have given his team the lead - 22 times the opening goal, and five times to make it 2-1.

It should be two!

Dōan does brilliantly to hold off Brackelmann before finding Ebnoutalib who, in turn, plays a first time pass into Uzun. With only the goalkeeper to beat, Dahmen pulls off an excellent save!

Poor touch

As Augsburg go in search of a response, Wolf clips in a perfectly weighted ball from the right into the path of Gregoritsch, but the Austrian is unable to bring it under control.

Frankfurt lead!

The Eagles turn their early domination into a goal. Ebnoutalib makes an excellent run into the channel, which is spotted by Uzun. He then clips a ball towards the far post, where Burkardt rises highest to head the ball past Dahmen.

Working an opening

Frankfurt set their intentions early. For the first two minutes, the Eagles barely gave their opponents a sniff of the ball. Unfortunately, the final ball into Uzun from a central position lacked precision.

Manuel Baum on facing Frankfurt

"It's going to be a big challenge. They're incredibly good technically and very flexible. We may have to do more defending than we had to in our last game [against Schalke], so we have to be compact and approach the game with the right attitude."

Adi Hütter on facing Augsburg

"Augsburg are a very good, consistent side. I expect us to go all-out to win the game from the first minute, although I obviously don't expect everything to go perfectly. Since my last game here, we've added around 9,000 seats to the stadium. I'm really excited, but it's not about me."
