In the Bundesliga, FC Augsburg and FC Freiburg have both managed to secure victories against each other in recent weeks. The two sides have faced off twice this season, with Augsburg prevailing on home soil.
The first match saw Augsburg take the lead after just over three minutes through a header from Lucas Hradek. However, FC Freiburg were quick to respond with a brace of their own, thanks to a goal from Jörg Müller. The visitors then doubled their advantage in the 15th minute with a penalty corner awarded by referee Thomas Lützow, which was converted by Marco Reus.
Despite the early goals, it wasn't long before Augsburg found themselves behind as FC Freiburg scored two more times in quick succession. In the 28th minute, Müller added another penalty for his side's third goal, following a brilliant header from the right wing.
However, Augsburg responded immediately and equalized through a goalless second half period. It wasn't long until the match went back to regulation time, with Augsburg scoring their fourth goal on the hour mark.
As expected, Augsburg's goal strength continued to impress, with Hradek netting his ninth league goal of the season. The goal gave the visitors a comfortable 4-1 lead at halftime.
The second half saw both teams settle into a defensive rhythm, with both teams struggling to break down the opposition's defense. Despite this, Augsburg held onto their lead and never looked likely to concede any goals.
The match ended with Augsburg winning the game 4-1, and they will be looking forward to facing FC Bayern Munich next week in the Champions League. With their recent form, it's clear that Augsburg is one team to watch in the upcoming season.
