Full-time: Augsburg 2-2 Leipzig
Augsburg arguably the happier with a point at the end of a thrilling match, with Openda's missed penalty - or Dahmen's penalty save - proving costly for Marco Rose's men, who lose ground in the race for a top-four finish. Augsburg show their bouncebackability once again to strengthen their position in mid-table.

Maier steers wide
Could there be some late drama here? Arne Maier's low effort goes just wide of the far post, taking a slight deflection on its way.

Penalty for Leipzig
The clash between Dahmen and Simakan after his header has been deemed a foul by the referee, after a VAR call, and he has pointed to the spot.

Simakan close!
Substitute Simakan heads just inches wide of the post, with a good chance for the guests. He is then caught by Dahmen and requires treatment.

Rexhbecaj effort
Rexhbecaj has the next shot on goal, but Elvis' shot goes so high that it does not threaten Gulacsi's goal.

Uduokhai close!
Another good chance for Augsburg with Uduokhai's header just going wide of the left-hand upright. You can sense a winner in this game, but which end might it come at?
61'
Just like that
What we were saying? Demirović dribbles into the box, skips onto his preferred right foot and then unleashes an unstoppable shot into the top left-hand corner.

Jensen has a go
Do not rule Augsburg out of this just yet - Jensen's low shot gives Gulacsi some work to do, and shows that the Fuggerstädter are not done here. They have come from behind to win a league-leading eight times this season, after all.
58'
Post!
Šeško strikes the post and while Olmo drills in the rebound, the offside flag goes up and it does not count.

Rare turnaround
Leipzig have only once come from a goal down to win this season, recovering to beat VfB Stuttgart 5-1 on Matchday 2. Is there more to come today?
56'
Three in a row
Šeško has now scored in three straight games - all with his head.
52'
Heads up!
Šeško almost copies Openda to head Leipzig in front, nodding Olmo's cross into the top left-hand corner, and giving the guests the lead in Augsburg.

Relief for Raum
He's back on his feet and it was just a false alarm.
48'
Raum concern
Raum looks in a lot of pain and this is a worry for Leipzig. His assist for Openda was his sixth of the season, but the way he is holding his knee, it could well prove to be his last.

All square at the break
After a tense first half hour, the game burst into life with goals and chances at both ends. On the balance of play, a draw is the fair outcome of that first 45 minutes, with the appetite whet for more to come in the second 45 minutes.

Openda flashes across goal
Almost a second for Leipzig and a second for Openda, but he flashes his shot across the face of goal.

Openda header!
Leipzig are back on terms and it is Openda who heads in Raum's cross from the left, leaning back as he made contact and still managed to guide it into the top corner.
35'
Sweet volley!
Tietz is in the right place at the right time to turn the ball into the far corner on the volley after a first effort from the edge of the area is parried out to him. Augsburg lead!
34'
Rexhbecaj misses it!
A groan from the Augsburg fans as Rexhbecaj makes a hash of what was a clear shot on goal.
33'
Vargas into the side-netting
That should have been Augsburg's first shot on target, but Vargas slices his effort from an angle and it ripples the side-netting. At least the chances are now arriving, at both ends.
31'
Schlager's daisy-cutter
The next shot of the game on target, this one from Schlager which skims across the surface and needs another fine save low down from Dahmen to turn it away.

Olmo denied!
That is the best chance of the game yet, and Dahmen denies what seems to be a certain goal from Olmo, whose stooping header was destined for the bottom corner until it was plucked out by the last line of the Augsburg defence.

Leipzig's turn to appeal
Openda falls in the box and this time it is Leipzig's players looking hopefully towards the referee, but he waves away their appeals. First real danger in the Augsburg box.

Demirovic goes to the ground in the area after being put through by Vargas, but his appeals for a penalty are waved away. Augsburg starting on the front foot here.

Dahmen's unwanted record
Augsburg goalkeeper Finn Dahmen stands between the posts for the 34th time in the Bundesliga, and he has not yet kept a clean sheet. No other goalkeeper has gone his first 34 Bundesliga games without a clean sheet - could he set an unwanted record today?
Kick-off!
All set!
The two teams are out and now Leipzig coach Marco Rose has emerged from the dressing room. All ready for the action to begin!
50 candles for Rose
This is the Leipzig coach's 50th Bundesliga fixture in charge of Die Roten Bullen.
