Bitter afternoon for Sandro Wagner and FC Augsburg. The Fuggerstädter have also lost at the previously pointless 1. FC Heidenheim.
Three points after five games, that is the previous record of Sandro Wagner at FC Augsburg. The reason for this is also a 1: 2 defeat in the basement duel on Saturday afternoon at 1. FC Heidenheim. The so far pointless FCH was almost the better team over the entire season.
Trainer Sandro Wagner slips deeper and deeper into the crisis with FC Augsburg. In the basement duel at the 1st FC Heidenheim, the team of the 37-year-old lost 1: 2 (0-0) and collected the fourth defeat in a row. After another weak and uninspired performance, the FCA remains trapped in the relegation battle. The previously pointless Heidenheim celebrated the redeeming first win of the season.
For the team of coach Frank Schmidt, the attackers Mikkel Kaufmann (47th) and Sirlord Conteh (54.) scored the decisive goals. Phillip Tietz (90.+8) only the connection. The FCH is now tied with the weak Augsburgers. Before the international break, VfB Stuttgart goes, Augsburg has to fight against the negative run in front of a home crowd against VfL Wolfsburg. The Wagner personnel should be the focus again until the duel next Saturday.
That happened after the crashing 1: 4 bankruptcy against Mainz the previous week. Wagner emphasized that despite the negative series, he wanted to stay “calm and in the content”.
For Schmidt, after four bankruptcies at the start of the season, “only one victory” was included. We don’t want to think about a possible defeat, “said the 51-year-old before the kick-off. Heidenheim would “bring a new bankruptcy into such a region for weeks where it is very difficult to work out again”.
The hosts began accordingly – and asked for a dismissal early in the game. FCA defender Cedric Zesiger brought the arrow-fast conteh as supposedly the last man. However, referee Tobias Welz only showed yellow because Chrislain Matsima had run (4th). Heidenheim remained on the trigger, but also revealed offensive problems: the busy Arijon Ibrahimovic (16th), as well as Conteh (28th, 44th) and merchant (38th), sometimes complicated opportunities.
