Evil defensive buck of the guests! Josha Vagnoman directs a flat pass from Fabian Bredlow directly to the right. There, however, an Augsburger comes running and intervenes. Lucky for Stuttgart that the ball bounces.
34
21:04
Portuguese for Brazilians. Iago probably has a tweak in the groin.
34
21:04
Substitution at FC Augsburg: Renato Veiga

21:03
Substitution at FC Augsburg: Iago
33
21:03
Enrico Maassen worried: Iago remains on the field and immediately indicates that he cannot continue.
31
21:02
After a good half hour, one thing is clear: it hasn’t been a ripper so far. Both teams prove why you can find them in the bottom half of the table.
30
21:00
Guirassy himself has to laugh at being awarded this free kick. The fouled finally leaves Borna to Sosa, who thrashes the ball into the wall.
29
20:59
Now VfB is awarded a dangerous free kick. However, the decision is very doubtful, Serhou Guirassy actually turns himself into the opponent.
28
20:57
Augsburg always manages to bridge the midfield with creative solutions. You can’t say that about Stuttgart so far, the guests often reach for the long stick.
25
20:55
Waldemar Anton tries a long ball to Chris Führich, but Mads Pedersen shields effortlessly. The intensity of the guests has decreased again after the interim phase of urgency.
23
20:53
Much ado about nothing, Mads Pedersen gets stuck right on the three-man wall. VfB even came close to launching a dangerous counterattack.
21
20:52
The Kölner Keller does not intervene, it remains with the factual decision on a free kick. Of course, the position is excellent.
20
20:50
Yellow card for Hiroki Ito (VfB Stuttgart)
Tricky scene! Dion Beljo is sent steeply. Hiroki Ito steps in between, but comes too late and only hits the opponent. Now, however, it still has to be clarified whether the foul took place inside or outside the sixteen. Christian Dingert gives a free kick in the first distance.
19
20:50
The game has calmed down a bit now. The two goalkeepers are drawn into the game structure again and again.
17
20:47
The guests are slowly finding their way into the game. Serhou Guirassy lets a low Führich cross through in the sixteen for Wataru Endo. However, he should at least have nudged the ball, because he is starving on the way to the Japanese.
16
20:46
There is still hope for VfB. Because Augsburg is the Bundesliga club that has by far the most points after taking the lead – 21 in total. In addition, Stuttgart already put on a spectacular race to catch up last weekend.
14
20:44
Atakan Karazor has to be dealt with after a hard challenge from Elvis Rexhbeçaj before the corner kick is taken.
13.
20:44
Now also the first degree for VfB! Chris Führich penetrates the sixteen, hits a hook and pulls from an acute angle. Tomáš Koubek raises his fists!
12.
20:43
Dion Beljo is on fire! The young Croatian creates space in midfield with a tunnel and initiates the next attack.
10
20:40
The goal can only do the game good. Incidentally, the WWK Arena is sold out, and there is a fantastic atmosphere in the stands, especially after the opening goal.

Tooor for FC Augsburg, 1-0 through Dion Beljo
FCA takes the lead out of nowhere! Arne Maier has too much space for a cross on the right, Dion Beljo has too much space for a diving header in the six-yard box (!). You have to blame Fabian Bredlow for that.
7.
20:37
Atakan Karazor completely misses a diagonal ball on Borna Sosa. Neither team has made it into the opposing penalty area yet.
5.
20:35
FCA is awarded a free kick from more than 30 meters. The cross is nothing, but set pieces could still be a factor in this game.
4.
20:34
A lot of patchwork in the early minutes, the teams first feel each other out.
2.
20:32
Less than a minute has passed before Hiroki Ito falls to the ground after a check by Ermedin Demirović. As the saying goes, Demirović probably wanted to set an example early on.
1.
20:30
Get in the game! The guests dressed in black have offense.
20:28
Felix Uduokhai and Wataru Endo are available for Christian Dingert to choose sides. For Uduokhai, it is the first time he has captained FCA since August 2021. The reason is that the actual captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw is missing and vice Daniel Caligiuri is only on the bench.
20:05
Spring is slowly arriving in Bavaria, too. In Augsburg, temperatures are still around 16 degrees Celsius late at night. So everything is ready for a thrilling Swabian duel under floodlights!
19:56
VfB won the first leg 2-1. After an early deficit by Florian Niederlechner, Serhou Guirassy and Waldemar Anton turned the game around. In general, Augsburg is the favorite opponent of Baden-Württemberg: Stuttgart has only won four games against FCA since they were promoted again in 2020.
19:50
After FCA conceded all three goals in Leipzig before the half-time break, Enrico Maaßen is trying a more offensive approach today: For the yellow carded Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Robert Gumny, with Ermedin Demirović and Ruben Vargas, clearly more offensive-oriented players are allowed to play. On the VfB side, only Hiroki Ito will start in place of the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos.
19:46
The form curve of FC Augsburg runs in the opposite direction: The Fuggerstadt team have been waiting for a threesome for five Bundesliga games and have not been able to win the direct duels against Schalke and Cologne. This is why Augsburg and Stuttgart are only five points apart in the table. VfB also has the slightly better goal difference.
19:43
Hoeneß was already a complete success on his debut, with a 1-0 win against Nuremberg, VfB made it into the DFB Cup semi-finals again after ten years. A few days later followed with a 3:2 in Bochum, the first away win in a year and four months. Last weekend Dortmund took a point despite being outnumbered.
19:38
Coach changes during the current season are always a topic of conversation, just look at Munich. VfB Stuttgart have already resorted to this method twice this season: Pellegrino Matarazzo was followed by Bruno Labbadia and Labbadia was most recently followed by Sebastian Hoeneß. At least the second change of coach seems to have paid off, VfB haven’t lost a game under Hoeneß.
19:31
Relegation duel in Augsburg! FCA welcomes VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga relegation battle. It starts at 8:30 p.m. in the WWK Arena!
