Felix Uduokhai and Daniel Caligiuri extended Augsburg's perfect start to the season, as the Bavarians beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to make it two wins out of two.

Augsburg 2-0 Dortmund
Goals: 1-0 Uduokhai (40'), 2-0 Caligiuri (54')

Jude Bellingham had the first shot of the game, after his fellow Englishman Jadon Sancho had created space with a powerful, mazy run, and an Axel Witsel volley which brought a fine save out of Rafal Gikiewicz after just five minutes suggested a busy afternoon for the Augsburg defence. That was not how things panned out, however. Florian Niederlechner twice got in around the back of the Dortmund rearguard to remind the Westphalians not to neglect their defensive duties, but it was a warning they did not heed as Uduokhai headed the hosts in front from former Schalke midfielder Caligiuri's free-kick. A deflected Thomas Meunier effort almost found the top corner of Gikiewicz's goal before the Augsburg goalkeeper tipped the ball away from Erling Haaland as he seemed primed to score.

The plot was to thicken early in the second half when Caligiuri was put through by Niederlechner, and he held off the challenge of Meunier before slotting the ball past Roman Bürki to double Augsburg's lead. There was still over half-an-hour to go when Dortmund coach Lucien Favre sent on Marco Reus and Julian Brandt in an even more attacking set-up, which looked a little too top-heavy whenever Augsburg broke, and they almost got a third through Reece Oxford's dipping volley. It did not look like it was going to be Dortmund's day, but Uduokhai and Jeffrey Gouweleeuw can deservedly take credit for the way they kept the visitors' array of attacking options at bay, while an authoritative Gikiewicz proved to be an impenetrable wall, with a late save from Mats Hummels the pick of the bunch.
