Augsburg does magic: Claude-Maurice leads FCA to victory against Dortmund!
A very special football spectacle took place in Augsburg on Saturday, October 26, 2024! FC Augsburg shocked Borussia Dortmund and sensationally triumphed 2-1. This means that Augsburg remains unbeaten in their own stadium and has scored all ten points of the current season at home. Dortmund, on the other hand, not only emphasized their away trauma with this defeat, but are now seven points behind league leaders RB Leipzig!
The star on the pitch was 26-year-old Alexis Claude-Maurice, who scored both goals for FCA. After a deficit by Donyell Malen in the 4th minute, he showed his class in the 25th minute and scored the equalizer, followed by his winning goal in the 50th minute. The former France U21 international shines in his new team and brings a breath of fresh air to the Augsburg offensive. Coach Jess Thorup was delighted with his team's comeback and emphasized that they fought back together after falling behind early on.
Change of referee creates tension
The painful loss of the originally scheduled referee Tobias Welz, who was injured during the warm-up, caused additional excitement. Wolfgang Haslberger spontaneously took over the management of the game and delivered a decisive show from the start. The constant substitution errors and questionable decisions caused numerous discussions in the stands. The game itself was an emotional rollercoaster that kept the fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle!
Augsburg's offensive tactics often made Dortmund look pale. Despite a higher ball possession rate, the Revierkickers were unable to score another goal and missed several opportunities to equalize. Behind it, one could only imagine the disappointed mood at BVB, especially after Almugera Kabar was sent off in stoppage time. The coming week will be crucial: BVB will face Leipzig in the top game, while Augsburg will have to play in Wolfsburg. A race against time for Dortmund, who have to correct their mistakes as quickly as possible!
