Key numbers

- Two subs scored in the 69' and 74'
Twice ahead, once pegged back
Rodrigo Ribeiro's goals in the 13th and 21st minutes put Augsburg 2-0 up, yet Sonnenhof Grossaspach replied a minute later through Luca Damiano Molinari and levelled through Volkan Celiktas in the 46th minute. The scores stayed level for roughly 36 minutes. Two substitutes then settled it: Arijon Ibrahimović scored in the 69th minute and Anton Kade added a fourth in the 74th, both having come on in the 65th.
Behrens had a hand in three goals
Hennes Behrens set up the goals in the 21st, 69th and 74th minutes, and all three of his assists in this competition so far have come in this match. Three assists only tell part of the story. He also won 12 of 19 duels and completed five of six dribbles, so his influence went well beyond the final ball.
More of the ball, fewer shots against
Augsburg controlled the ball more than usual, with 59% possession against an average of 44.8% across their eight matches this season. They faced only 11 shots, which suggests a side that spent less time defending. Their xG per shot was below that season average, though, which hints at an attack built more on volume than on polish.
Ibrahimović broke the 2-2 deadlock
Arijon Ibrahimović's goal turned a level match. It was worth +1.0 FN xPts to Augsburg and −0.7 to Sonnenhof Grossaspach, the largest combined change of the evening. Anton Kade then added a fourth to put the result beyond doubt. Sonnenhof had outscored their 0.78 xG with two goals, but never found a way back in front after levelling.
FN MOM
Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Hennes Behrens 9.3Dominant
He supplied three assists and won 12 of 19 duels.
Hennes Behrens earned most of his credit going forward, with five successful dribbles from six and three key passes. His assist for Rodrigo Ribeiro in the 21st minute made it 2-0, and after Sonnenhof Grossaspach levelled he supplied both the 69th- and 74th-minute goals. He also won 12 duels, so he was far more than a creator.
