Four unanswered goals lift Augsburg from 1-0 down to a 4-1 win

Augsburg overturn early deficit to win 4-1

FC Augsburg recovered from an early setback to defeat Eintracht Frankfurt 4-1 at Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday, September 6, 2026. Frankfurt led 1-0 at half-time after Jonathan Burkardt opened the scoring, but Augsburg produced four unanswered goals after the interval to claim the points in Bundesliga Regular Season Round 2.

Frankfurt made the quicker start in the 4-4-2 formation used by coach A. Hütter. In the sixth minute, Younes Ebnoutalib supplied the assist for Burkardt, who scored Frankfurt’s only goal of the match. Augsburg, set up in a 5-3-2 by M. Baum, stayed within reach and changed the direction of the match immediately after the break.

Elias Niklas Baum’s own goal in the 46th minute brought Augsburg level. Just one minute later, Robin Fellhauer put the visitors ahead with a normal goal. That rapid turnaround moved the match from a narrow Frankfurt lead to an Augsburg advantage before the hosts could settle. Fellhauer was replaced by Alexis Claude-Maurice in the 61st minute, and the substitute later extended the lead himself.

Claude-Maurice scored Augsburg’s third goal in the 65th minute, with Han-Noah Massengo providing the assist. Fabian Rieder completed the scoring in the 89th minute, finishing a performance that also included two shots on target and three tackles. Frankfurt made a triple change in the 69th minute, bringing on Fares Chaibi, Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab and Timothy Chandler, while Augsburg also introduced Mert Kömür and Rodrigo Ribeiro during the second half.

Frankfurt had the ball but Augsburg had the result

The statistics underline the contrast between control and efficiency. Frankfurt held 60% possession, completed 462 passes and attempted 22 shots, including 17 from inside the box. Augsburg had 40% possession, 359 total passes and 17 shots, yet scored four times. The hosts put eight efforts on target compared with seven for Augsburg, but F. Dahmen made seven saves to preserve the visitors’ advantage. Frankfurt also won nine corners to Augsburg’s four.

The disciplinary record was limited to one yellow card apiece. Noahkai Banks was booked for Augsburg in the 36th minute, while Keita Kosugi received Frankfurt’s caution just before half-time. There were no red cards.

Dahmen was the standout performer, earning an 8.2 rating after 90 minutes and making seven saves. The result leaves Augsburg seventh with three points from one game, while Frankfurt are 12th with one point from one game. Frankfurt’s listed pre-match form was a draw and Augsburg’s was a win; after this match, Augsburg add another victory while Frankfurt suffer their first defeat in this campaign.
