45+4
18:23
mid-term conclusion
Augsburg and Dortmund go into the break with a goalless draw. The first half was very one-sided. Dortmund kept finding gaps in the Augsburg defense from the start. Only the guests missed final quality. After 45 minutes the xGoals are 0.02:2.47. BVB had several great chances but just didn’t stay cool in front of goal. Shortly before the break, Uduokhai picked up the red card after an emergency brake. However, the majority initially only led to fewer chances for black and yellow, because FCA then stood much lower and revealed fewer gaps.

End of 1st half
45+4
18:19
Malen shoots the ball into the wall.
45+3
18:18
Can has the ball 20 meters from the goal. He puts it to the right on Brandt and is then fouled by Dorsch. That gives another free kick for BVB.
45
18:17
Official injury time (minutes): 3
45
18:16
Big chance for FCA, but then the flag goes up. A long ball reaches Demirović on the left side of the penalty area. He runs alone to Kobel and pulls away. The goalkeeper parries with his upper body. Demirović was offside anyway.
43
18:13
Yellow card for Dion Beljo (FC Augsburg)
Beljo receives a yellow card for obstructing a Dortmund free-kick.
41
18:12
Brandt crosses from the left in the direction of the penalty spot. Guerreiro comes to the header. His degree is on the right.
40
18:11
Next good chance for BVB! After the due free kick, Süle comes to the header. His conclusion goes against the right post.

Red card for Felix Uduokhai (FC Augsburg)
Augsburg plays outnumbered from the 38th minute! Tobias Welz’s decision making was somewhat unusual. The referee contacted VAR directly after the whistle and showed red after a short conversation. This decision is justifiable after Uduokhai fouled Malen because the Dortmunder would have gone through freely.
38
18:08
The referee checks for a possible emergency brake. Uduokhai saved Malen to stop his run into the penalty area. Was the defender last man?
37
18:07
Augsburg is not exactly safe on the defensive. Again, a pass is enough to bring a Dortmunder into the penalty area. But Guerreiro stumbles awkwardly over the ball, so the chance fizzles out.
35
18:06
The following corner leads to another corner which is cleared by FCA.
33
18:05
Brandt has to make it 1-0! The next pass from Can puts Dortmund in front of the goal. Brandt runs towards the penalty area. Koubek comes out pretty over motivated. Brandt could easily pass him, but he opts for the lofted shot. This is repelled by Koubek to the corner.
33
18:03
BVB is currently playing too many bad passes. Losing the ball again and again means that the black and yellow have to go back quickly because FCA counterattacks. It’s exhausting for the players.
32
18:02
Augsburg drives the next counterattack after a bad pass from Dortmund. Süle prevents this by intercepting a through ball.
30
18:00
So far Augsburg’s offensive efforts have mostly come to nothing because the hosts acted too imprecisely in the last third.
29
17:59
Brandt is sent into the penalty area by Guerreiro. The Dortmund pulls from ten meters half-left position. Koubek parried. Then the flag goes up.
26
17:56
Süle runs the ball into the opposing half. He serves Guerreiro, who pulls from 23 meters. His shot flies clearly over it.
25
17:55
Malen gets the ball on the right corner of the box. He approaches Renato Veiga and pulls it away. His shot is blocked by the defender.
22
17:52
Demirović tries it from the second row. His shot goes a meter over it.
22
17:52
In the following corner, Hummels comes to the header. But his degree lands on goal.
21
17:51
Haller misses the next big chance! Hummels plays a great outside instep pass into Brandt’s run, which serves Haller, who has run with him. But the striker takes a little too long to finish. A defender disturbs him decisively and his shot is repelled by Koubek.
20
17:50
Dortmund is the superior team with the better chances, but Augsburg doesn’t look harmless either.
18
17:49
Augsburg is dangerous in front of goal for the first time! Brandt plays a very risky bad pass in midfield. As a result, the FCA goes on the counterattack. Demirović runs towards the penalty area and then plays into Beljo’s run. The striker fails to accept the ball, otherwise he would have been free. Kobel picks up the ball.
17
17:47
Dortmund always gets behind the Augsburg defense chain with simple plug-in passes. This time it’s Guerreiro who runs the ball. But his cross ends up in Koubek’s arms.
15
17:45
Pedersen is in pain because Adeyemi accidentally kicked his knee after the foul. The Augsburger can probably continue playing.
14
17:44
Pedersen, who hasn’t really got Adeyemi under control so far, has to be treated after a foul by the Dortmunder.
13.
17:44
Next good attack of the guests. Adeyemi prevails with a speed dribble on the left wing. He plays the ball flat from the baseline to the edge of the penalty area. But his cross is a bit too lax, so that Renato Veiga gets the ball before Brandt and clears it.
10
17:41
Adeyemi has the lead on foot! BVB combines nicely in the penalty area. Malen plays the ball back from the baseline to Adeyemi, who finishes from eleven yards. Pedersen prevents the gap with a good tackle.
8th.
17:38
First good chance for BVB! Wolf gets the ball on the right in the penalty area. He has space and time to finish. But his shot is not a problem for Koubek.
7.
17:37
Painting is a good idea. He heels the ball into the box but Adeyemi wasn’t expecting it.
7.
17:37
Augsburg plays very man-oriented in the first few minutes. When they start in the Dortmund half, they play completely one-on-one.
5.
17:36
Dortmund combined forward for the first time, but the flag goes up. Therefore, Brandt’s long-range shot is irrelevant. The ball goes over it anyway.
4.
17:34
Guerreiro runs over the ball, Malen deducts. His free kick goes well to the right.
3.
17:33
Wolf runs diagonally to the left from the right hemisphere. He is fouled by Dorsch on the left corner of the penalty area. There’s a free kick.
2.
17:32
Augsburg appears in the penalty area for the first time. Engels plays the ball low from the right into the middle. Süle does not clear enough into Pedersen’s feet. The full-back hits another cross, but the ball goes out of goal.
1.
17:31
Edin Terzić sends wishes to heaven again and then it starts. The ball rolls in Augsburg.
17:10
VfB Stuttgart has just scored 3-1 against Mainz. There are still almost ten minutes to play in Mainz. If this result stays the same, FC Augsburg still need a point to make the league perfect.
16:54
Enrico Maassen makes three changes at FCA compared to the 2: 3 in Bochum. Renato Veiga starts in the defensive chain instead of Bauer. Engels replaces Maier in midfield after serving a yellow card suspension. Also, Yeboah starts up the storm instead of Berisha.
16:49
On the staff: Edin Terzić will be without one of his most important players in one of the most important games of the season. Jude Bellingham is out with a knee injury. He is represented in central midfield by Raphaël Guerreiro. Otherwise, the BVB coach sends the same starting eleven as in the win against Gladbach.
16:44
FC Augsburg can play free today if VfB Stuttgart doesn’t win the current game against Mainz. In this case, the relegation place for FCA would only be theoretically possible, since Schalke could draw level on points, but have a significantly worse goal difference.
16:41
What speaks against a Dortmund victory? Borussia’s away record has been miserable in recent weeks. BVB has been without a win on a foreign pitch for five Bundesliga games. In addition, Dortmund have always had difficulties in Augsburg in recent years. In the last four games at FCA, Dortmund have lost two, drawn one and won just one.
16:38
What speaks for a victory of the black and yellow? Edin Terzić’s side have been in excellent form in the past two games. It was 6-0 and 5-2 against Wolfsburg and Gladbach. The BVB offensive is in top form at exactly the right time.
16:36
It actually happened: On the penultimate day of the season, BVB suddenly had the championship back in their own hands. After yesterday’s 3-1 defeat by Bayern against RB Leipzig, Dortmund would take the lead in the table with a win today.
16:20
