AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- xG 1.11 vs 2.64: Leverkusen had the better chances
- 30 shots, 12 blocked: Leverkusen's volume
- Gregoritsch: 3 shots on target, 2 goals
Honours even after a lead changes hands
Augsburg and Leverkusen shared the points in a 2-2 draw. Christian Kofane put the visitors ahead in the first half, Michael Gregoritsch struck twice early in the second to turn it around, and Patrik Schick levelled in the 89th minute. Augsburg stay top on seven points, while Leverkusen climb from eighth to seventh.
Leverkusen had the volume, Augsburg the quality
Leverkusen had far more of the ball and fired in 30 shots, 12 of which were blocked. Their xG per shot of 0.09 was lower than Augsburg's. Their total xG still exceeded the hosts', which suggests plenty of chances, but thin ones, while Augsburg were more precise with fewer attempts.
García creates, Rieder and Brackelmann hold firm
Aleix García created seven chances, the most of any player, which suggests Leverkusen's attacks ran largely through him. Augsburg answered with graft: Fabian Rieder's 10 defensive actions came through tackles, interceptions and blocks, while Calvin Brackelmann won nine duels. Rieder also set up Gregoritsch's second goal.
A substitute answers the lead
Gregoritsch's second goal turned a level game into a lead and was worth +1.1 FN xPts. Leverkusen's reply came off the bench: Schick, a substitute, scored in the 89th minute after Malik Tillman's assist, a goal worth +1.0 FN xPts. That was enough to take a point back to Leverkusen.
Player of the match
Michael Gregoritsch 8.5Dominant
He scored twice from three shots on target.
Gregoritsch earned most of his value in attack. All three of his shots were on target, and he added two key passes. His goals in the 50th and 55th minutes turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead, giving Augsburg the only stretch of the match in which they were in front before he was replaced in the 85th minute.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
