Augsburg's Escape Act: Three Goals in 14 Minutes Shatter Wolfsburg's Resistance
Ortalama Futmetrix Puanı: 37/100. A rollercoaster of a six-pointer—Augsburg could have crumbled against Wolfsburg's possession dominance, yet a second-half eruption of clinical finishing transformed desperation into deliverance.
The Early Shock: Banks Strikes Before Wolfsburg Settles
Three minutes. That's all N. Banks needed to set the WWK Arena alight. A razor-sharp finish from Mert Kömer's assist exposed Wolfsburg's sluggish opening. With just 47% possession, Augsburg played with the intensity and directness that defines relegation battles, while Wolfsburg's 53% control masked a fundamental lack of balance in transition.
The Goal Flurry: Kömer and Fellhauer Turn the Screw
The second half unleashed chaos. Between the 51st and 65th minutes, the goals cascaded: Kömer doubled the lead (51'), Robin Fellhauer made it 3-0 (63'), and Adam Daghim pulled one back for Wolfsburg just 120 seconds later. Those 14 minutes crystallised the match—24 combined shots, 9 on target, 15 corners. Augsburg's ruthlessness in the box contrasted starkly with Wolfsburg's profligacy: five shots on target versus four, and a telling xG advantage of 1.71 to 1.19.
The Possession Paradox: Control Without Conviction
Wolfsburg commanded the ball (431 passes, 82% accuracy) yet lacked the clinical edge when it mattered. Augsburg's 77% pass accuracy proved sufficient because they found the net when it counted. This victory lifts Augsburg's survival hopes in a relegation dogfight, while Wolfsburg—now winless in five of their last six—tumbles deeper into crisis.
Key Questions
How did Augsburg turn the match?
A devastating 14-minute spell after the break with three goals—Kömer, Fellhauer, and Daghim's consolation—broke Wolfsburg's resistance completely.
Who was the standout performer?
Mert Kömer (8.3 rating): one goal, one assist, and the creative spark that orchestrated Augsburg's attacking intent throughout.
Why couldn't Wolfsburg capitalise on their possession?
Only four shots on target despite 53% possession and 1.19 xG. Possession without penetration—a fatal flaw in a six-pointer.
