Augsburg actually traveled to Breisgau with self-confidence. A week ago, the Maaßen team, also after falling behind early, celebrated their first win of the season thanks to a Demirovic brace in a 2-1 win over Mainz 05. The game in Freiburg was less than five minutes old and, as so often this season, FCA was already behind.
Iago clumsily – Grifo invites Dahmen
Iago ran into the heels of his opponent Roland Sallai, and when the penalty was due, Grifo gave keeper Finn Dahmen no chance. In a lively opening phase, Augsburg quickly recovered and had a great chance to equalize. Phillip Tietz ran a back pass that was too short and went around Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu, but he quickly got up and prevented the goal from being scored with a dive (9th).
The guests tried hard to push SC Freiburg into their own half, but FCA repeatedly had technical deficiencies in the transition game into the dangerous zone. The SCF, which had recently remained winless three times in a row in the league, was mainly concerned with defending.
Joker Michel scores – but the VAR intervenes
This didn’t change after the break. This time only nine minutes were played before Freiburg was able to celebrate for the second time. After a Grifo corner, Lienhart headed the ball completely free at the first post and gave Dahmen no chance. The game was dominated by duels, but lacking in highlights. Demirovic missed from a good position (67th), and substitute Sven Michel’s goal was canceled due to a narrow offside position after VAR intervention (81st).
