Another dangerous delivery

It's another dangerous corner from García but this time Diaby, one of the smallest players out there, heads over from close range. That could have been it!

Everyone forward

Augsburg are standing firm as Leverkusen look to work an equaliser but so far, there's just no way through for the visitors, who dominate possession, xGoals, shot and passes.

García's corner again causes problems. Dahmen denies Quansah twice but the ball eventually finds Diaby, who lays it on a plate for Maza. The Algerian strikes the ball first time - it takes a deflection past Dahmen, but it's ruled out for a foul in the build-up by Quansah.

Ibrahimović!

Almost immediately after the restart, Ibrahimović fires agonisingly wide after being found by Gregoritsch. What a start that would have been!

Off we go!

Augsburg get the second period under way. At this point last weekend, they were 1-0 down against Eintracht Frankfurt, but won 4-1. Can they find a way back into this game?
Kick-off!

Half-time: Augsburg 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen

Finn Dahmen has been busy in the Augsburg goal, but was outdone by some Christian Kofane magic. The Leverkusen forward's goal is the difference at the break as Carles Martínez's charges lead Manuel Baum's unbeaten side.

Maza denied!

The following free-kick is clipped towards Fernández at the back post. The Argentine rises highest, knocks the ball down for Maza who doesn't get a clean connection on the ball - his mis-hit effort is blocked by Banks.

First caution

Banks is shown the game's first yellow card for a late challenge on Moreira - that's his second in three Bundesliga games this season.

Hungry

Goalscorer Kofane has registered three shots this afternoon, that's more than the entire Augsburg team.

Not without a fight

Leverkusen may lead, but Augsburg are showing no sign of giving up. They're still going toe-to-toe with their opponents.

Fluidity

Leverkusen's three-pronged attack continue to interchange positions, keeping Augsburg's back three on their toes. Now, it's Diaby in the middle, supported by Moreira and Kofane.
27'

Gutiérrez takes aim...

...but it's comfortably saved by Dahmen. It would need to be something special to beat the Augsburg custodian from there.
24'

Corner

Diaby is again at the heart of Leverkusen's attack. This time, the Frenchman's cross is cleared behind by Matsima. Kofane, who headed García's subsequent corner over the bar, was there waiting!

Deserved 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).
Leverkusen are out-performing their xGoals metric, and lead Augsburg in shots and possession.

As cool as you like!

Leverkusen probed, and they've been rewarded. Tapsoba clips a ball in behind for Kofane, who brings the ball down with one touch, does a Cruyff turn, then rolls the ball past Dahmen, who was left rooted to the spot.

Leverkusen probing

Medina patiently awaits an opening, where he spots Moreira's run in behind. Dahmen is on hand, though, to deny the Leverkusen attacker.

Teasing cross

Diaby again bursts forward down the right, leaving Brackelmann in his tracks but a teammate is unable to get on the end of his whipped delivery.
10'

Maza!

Collecting the ball from García, Maza progresses the ball from a central position in the the Augsburg penalty area before shooting with his left foot, but it's blocked behind for a corner which is subsequently cleared.
9'

No way through

After early chances at both ends, the game is settling down now. Both Augsburg and Leverkusen are putting together some excellent passing transitions, but have been unable to find a way through the opposing defences.

Kofane wide!

Starting in place of Schick, the Leverkusen attacker gets ahead of his marker at the near post, but is unable to guide García's corner on target.
3'

Diaby stopped in his tracks

The Frenchman shows his explosive pace, getting by his marker but Brackelmann is there to put his pull back behind for a corner.

Early chance!

What a start by Augsburg! Fellhauer's low cross finds its way to Behrens at the far post. He strikes the ball first time, but Medina is there to deflect the ball behind for a corner, which amounts to nothing.

Leverkusen get us under way at the WWK Arena.

Carles Martínez on facing Augsburg

"They're top of the table, so they're currently the best team in the league. They've put in two good performances, both in attack and defence, and deserve to be up there. They're playing with a lot of confidence at home at the moment and we need to recognise that, but the focus is on us."

Manuel Baum on facing Leverkusen

"[Leverkusen are] a physically strong side who cover a lot of ground and have enormous quality on the ball. [...] The key is believing in what we’re doing and sticking to our principles, even when things aren’t going so well."
