xwhatsappmailcopy-link

Alfred Finnbogason scored twice in added time to complete his hat-trick and snatch Augsburg an unlikely 3-3 draw with Freiburg.

Augsburg 3-3 Freiburg

Goals: 1-0 Finnbogason (1'), 1-1 Günter (20'), 1-2 Petersen (48'), 1-3 Petersen (61'), 2-3 Finnbogason (90'), 3-3 Finnbogason (90+2')

The contest was only 54 seconds old when Finnbogason fired Augsburg ahead after his initial effort had been well saved by Freiburg’s Alexander Schwolow. Michael Gregoritsch lashed over with the goal at his mercy as Augsburg squandered the chance to double their lead, before Freiburg left-back Christian Günter drove in an equaliser with the aid of a deflection off Martin Hinteregger.

Marwin Hitz pulled off a spate of fine saves from Yoric Ravet as Freiburg turned the screw, but the Augsburg goalkeeper was powerless to prevent Petersen stooping to turn home Tim Kleindienst's flicked header following a corner. Freiburg looked to be home and hosed when Petersen coolly rounded Hitz for his second of the afternoon, but the visitors conceded two stoppage-time Finnbogason goals as Augsburg snatched a draw from the jaws of defeat.
