Full-time
Augsburg put in a spotless away performance and reward themselves with three points. Claude-Maurice's first-half brace is enough for Die Fuggerstädter against a determined Union Berlin, who despite having more possession, were somewhat unlucky. Augsburg steal three important points from the capital.

Commotion at Union

Harmless
Union may be establishing themselves in Augsburg's half, but they're creating too few clear-cut chances. Bénes finds himself in a shooting position to the left of the penalty area, but blasts the ball high over the crossbar.

Too central
During an Augsburg counter-attack, Rexhbecaj appears on the right side of the penalty area and takes a shot, but fires the ball straight into Schwolow's arms.

A step too late
Hollerbach sets up Jordan from the right side with a pass to the near post, but Dahmen is just ahead of the American striker and defuses the situation.
53'
No taker in the middle
Rexhbecaj receives a through-ball and runs down the left side of the penalty area to the byline. His cross then goes past friend and foe alike.

Union starts with momentum
In the first few minutes after the restart, it looks as if Die Eisernen want to show a reaction here.

Crossbar!
After a botched clearance, the ball falls to Jordan's feet in front of goal. He shoots immediately, but only hits the crossbar. That could have been more!

Half-time in Berlin
The visitors from Augsburg lead 2-0, thoroughly deserving their advantage against committed but luckless Union players. With two perfect attacks, the guests scored two goals, while defensively FCA allowed very little. Berlin are digging deep, but seemed unsettled by the two goals conceded. However, there's still enough time for a comeback.

Goalscoring chances are lacking
After a dominant opening phase, the hosts now appear dismayed. The second conceded goal has left its mark.

Augsburg want more
The visitors now sense Union's uncertainty. The game is taking place more and more in Berlin's half. At the moment, it seems as if Augsburg are closer to scoring a third goal than Berlin are to pulling one back.
37'
Cross becomes dangerous
Giannoulis drives the ball forward along the left wing. The cross then slips off his boot slightly and flies towards the far post. Schwolow leaps and punches the ball away.

The Frenchman bags a brace!
That was easy! During an Augsburg advance, Gouweleeuw pushes forward, suddenly finds himself in the penalty area on the goal line after a one-two on the right side, and then squares it to Claude-Maurice, who only needs to tap it in!
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.

Visitors too passive
With the lead behind them, FCA is leaving the ball to the Berliners here and are mainly occupied with defending. So far, they're managing well and the defensive bulwark is holding.

The first yellow card

Hollerbach!

16'
Close!
Jeong delivers a sharp cross from the left side, which Jordan heads towards goal. The ball sails just wide of the far post. Union seem determined to respond quickly after falling behind.
15'
Cross blocked
Toussart sends Roussillon on a run down the left wing. He dribbles and then delivers a low cross, but Matsima manages to clear it.
11'
Beautiful curler
Almost an immediate response! Toussart gets a shot off from the edge of the box and tries to curl the ball into the corner, but Dahmen is there to make the save.
9'
Off the crossbar! Claude-Maurice with the opener!
Onyeka drives into the penalty area from the right side and plays the ball across. Union can't clear properly, so the ball falls to Claude-Maurice centrally in front of the goal. He doesn't hesitate and smashes the ball under the crossbar with a powerful shot!

Needing a spark
This is Union's second-longest winless run after their ten games without a win in 2023. They may be in luck however, as Augsburg are second-bottom when it comes to points won from away games, having taken just two points out of the previous 16 available.
