Outstanding performance
FC Augsburg•GoalkeeperFC Augsburg pulled off a stunning late victory at the BayArena, scoring a dramatic 90th-minute penalty to defeat dominant Bayer Leverkusen 2-1. Despite Leverkusen controlling 71% of possession and registering 35 shots to Augsburg's 11, it was Fabian Rieder who emerged as the hero for the visitors with both goals - first equalizing early after Patrik Schick's opener, then converting the decisive spot-kick in stoppage time. Leverkusen's profligacy proved costly as they created three big chances but failed to convert any beyond Schick's 12th-minute header, while Augsburg goalkeeper made nine crucial saves to keep his side in the contest. This upset result represents a significant blow to Leverkusen's campaign and highlights Augsburg's clinical efficiency in taking their limited opportunities.
