Augsburg clashed off withBorussia Dortmundin the second roundof the2020-21 BundesligaseasononSaturday, September 26, 2020, at 09:30 AM(ET). The matchup turned out to have a disappointing result for the away side as Augsburg continue their dream start of the season.
Throughout the entire game, 2019-20 Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund were the better side, attacking and pushing to score. They had 71% ball-possession, compared to Augsburg‘s 29%. However, we all know that in football, possession doesn’t win games,goals do. And that’s exactly where Augsburg step up.
All it took was Felix Uduokhai’s slight head-touch to deflect Daniel Caliguiri’sfree-kick and the ball was suddenly inside Dortmundgoalkeeper’s net. The away side kept on trying thanks to vast efforts from Erling Haaland, Jadon Sancho, Giovanni Reyna, andJude Bellingham , but to no avail.
Then, during the 54th minute, it wasDaniel Caliguiri himself who got to havehis name on the scoresheet after Borussia’s defence totally failed to mark him. In spite of BVB’s constant pressing, thatproved to be the final goal of the match.
