Full-time: Augsburg 2-1 Gladbach
The hosts fought tirelessly in this second half to hold onto their lead. A good goal well taken by Claude-Maurice on his debut doubled their advantage, before Kleindiesnt's header once again halved Gladbach's defecit. In a game where chances were hard to come by, Augsburg probably had the better opportunities and were more clinical. The central midfield partnership of Onyeka and Jakić particularly impressed with their work rate.

Brawl
Hack falls in the box after a coming together with Bauer, but the referee waves away the protest. Tempers boil over and the two end up receiving yellow cards for their part.

Good chance to equalise
A cross field ball finds Hack all alone at the back post in the Augsburg area. His diving header is on target, but the keeper gets down well to his right to make the save.
78'
Tireless Onyeka
Once again, the central midfielder makes a marauding run from deep to get his team high up the pitch quickly. He crosses to Tietz, but the striker can't guide it goalwards.

Kleindienst pulls one back!
The striker rises highest at the back post from a corner, and wins the header relatively unchallenged. Could there be a comeback on here?
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.

Could've been three...
Giannoulis is sent through to the byline. He digs out a cross and Tietz rises highest around the penalty spot, but simply cannot generate enough power to beat the keeper.
69'
Substitution
Schlotterbeck was down receiving treatment on the sideline after a collision of knees. He has now been brought off for Matsima.

Claude-Maurice on his debut!
Gladbach lose the ball in midfield and Onyeka gets on the ball and drives with purpose on the ball down the right side. He cuts back and a poor clearance falls to Claude-Maurice who evades his marker and finishes with his right foot. A dream debut for the winger!

Kleindienst!
Another deep ball from Plea is floated into the box. Kleindienst rises highest nad gets a good connection on it, but it's too central and held by the keeper.
61'
A mistake!
From the subsequent free-kick, a poor clearance has Tietz through on goal, but the mistake seems to catch him off guard and his touch lets him down and allows Nicolas to gather the ball.
60'
Weigl booked
A promising looking counterattack led by Onyeka is thwarted by a foul from Weigl. The midfielder picks up a yellow card as a result.
58'
Double substitution for Augsburg
Wolf makes way for Koudossou and Mounié comes off for Claude-Maurice, who makes his debut for Augsburg.

Good chance for Giannoulis
A nice move through the middle by Augsburg. The ball is worked out to Giannoulis, who is loads of space on the left. He takes some time to get the ball out of his feet, and his following shot is blocked. That was a good opportunity for the hosts.
51'
Glancing header
Gladbach are controlling the early stages of this half. Plea puts in a deep cross from the right, Kleindienst connects with a glancing header, but he can't quite guide it on target.
48'
Chance for Čvančara
The first chance of the half goes Gladbach's way. Some lovely play down the left sees the ball worked to the byline, where it is cutback to Čvančara, who waits and hits a powerful shot, but well saved.
46'
Blow for Gladbach
Experienced centre back Elvedi makes way for Friedrich at half time, coming off with an injury. The veteran had the best pass accuracy in the Gladbach team in the first half here.

Jakić has a go
The midfielder shoots from 25 yards out but his swerving, low drive is well saved by the goalkeeper.
42'
Opening for Tietz
The forward receives the ball about 30 yards from goal and is allowed to turn and drive forward. Itakura does well to block his path and win time for Weigl to come back and steal possession back.
40'
Augsburg lead!
The home side have had the better of the limited chances there have been but now they have the lead thanks to a thundering effort from Schlotterbeck!

Over from Itakura
A brilliant first touch from the Gladbach defender to control the ball, but his attempted cross from the left is wayward and sails harmlessly over the bar.
31'
Chance for Kleindienst!
Pléa slips a beautiful no-look pass into Kleindienst's path as he charges into the left-hand side of the box. The striker shoots first time but his effort fizzes just wide of the far post.

In behind
Alassane Pléa sneaks behind the Augsburg defence for the first time in the game. He has time and space to pick out a cross but his attempted low delivery is blocked at the near post.

Over from Tietz
A great leap from the Augsburg forward to get to a cross from the right but he can't keep his header down.

Almost the opener!
Gladbach keeper Nicolas almost gifts Augsburg the opener with an underhit pass out towards Scally on the right. Giannoulis nips in first and fires a first-time angled drive into the side netting.
12'
First corner
It's a training ground routine as Stöger plays the corner to the edge of the box. It comes to Weigl, who shoots from range but can only drag his effort wide.
9'
Sitting back
The home side are retreating back into their own half and letting Gladbach come towards them. It's perhaps unsurprising that they've adopted a safety first approach given that they've conceded 14 goals already this season. Only bottom club Kiel have let in more (17).

The stakes
Neither side has started this season as they would have liked, with each losing three times already. Augsburg have just four points on the board going into Matchday 6, with Gladbach just two points better off.
Kick-off!
Peeeeep!
Here we go as the home side, decked out all in white, get the ball rolling.

Seoane on injuries
"The boys that have been on the back seat so far have the chance to make their case through our injuries. However, every player is fully integrated. They're keeping themselves ready both physically and mentally."

Seoane on new Germany international Kleindienst
"In the last two games we have rarely managed to get Tim into the action in the penalty area. Despite this, he always keeps the opposing defence busy and creates space for our creative players. Tim doesn't shy away from any challenge and is the first player to run at the opponent. With his willingness and energy when playing against the ball, he gets the whole team involved."

Unwanted early action
Augsburg have conceded six goals in the opening 15 minutes of their matches this season - more than any other Bundesliga side.
Keeping it tight at the (Glad)bach
Borussia Mönchengladbach kept their second clean sheet in their fifth match of the season with their 1-0 win over Union Berlin. Last season it took them 19 matches to claim their second shutout.
Good omen for Augsburg
Augsburg have lost just one of their past 13 home matches against Gladbach - a 2-3 defeat back in February 2020.
