xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Demirovic again
The Augsburg skipper tries to make up for that earlier miss with a sweet strike from over 20 yards. It's straight but with a bit of wobble that causes Blaswich to miss his catch, but he can recover to grab the ball at the second attempt.

Now Demirovic!
Golden, huge chance for Augsburg, who had taken every clear-cut chance that had fallen their way previous this season. Vargas beats a man and squares for Demirovic, who is completely unmarked eight yards out with only the goalkeeper to beat, but he puts it straight at the legs of Blaswich. Had to score.

Better from Augsburg
A first attempt of note from the visitors as Tietz meets a cross and Blaswich just about manages to claw it away diving to his right.

Half-time: Leipzig 3-0 Augsburg
It's been a perfect first-half display from the hosts, with Xavi and Openda proving too hot to handle for Augsburg, who have barely been able to get forward.

Finally a save
Openda is through and looking for a fourth, but Dahmen denies him - the first save he's made today, with Leipzig's first three shots all going in.

Leipzig double up!
Easy as you like for the hosts as the two summer signings reverse roles now. Xavi dead centre with the disguised pass through to Openda, and he makes no mistake up against Dahmen.

Xavi strikes early!
He's shown over the first three matchdays what he can do with his feet, but now Xavi treats us to a diving header, leaping unmarked in the centre of the box to meet Openda's cross.
