3 – 1
“Gregoritsch opens the scoring after Nicolas saves Fellhauer's initial effort from inside the six-yard box, with Gregoritsch sweeping home the rebound into the left corner from close range.”
Pivotal“Robin Fellhauer doubles Augsburg's lead just before half-time, finishing calmly with his right foot from the centre of the box into the right corner after being teed up by Mert Kömür — a goal that made the half-time interval deeply uncomfortable for Gladbach.”
Pivotal“A volatile flashpoint sees Kristijan Jakic and Philipp Sander both booked for dissent in the same incident, symptomatic of Gladbach's mounting frustration as their triple substitution failed to spark a reaction.”
“Gregoritsch seals the win with his second goal of the afternoon, arriving at the right side of the six-yard box to finish into the right corner after Nicolas parried Kömür's shot from distance, snuffing out any lingering Gladbach hope.”
Pivotal“Giovanni Reyna grabs a consolation for Gladbach in stoppage time, providing a flattering gloss on what had been a thoroughly one-sided afternoon for the visitors.”

Outstanding performance
FC Augsburg•AttackerFC Augsburg produced one of their most complete home performances of the season, dismantling a Borussia Mönchengladbach side that dominated possession but was consistently undone by their own wastefulness. Despite holding just 38% of the ball, Augsburg were ruthlessly efficient — converting 10 of their 15 shots on target while creating six big chances to Gladbach's one. The tone was set by Michael Gregoritsch, who pounced on a rebound from Robin Fellhauer's saved effort in the 24th minute, before Fellhauer himself doubled the lead with a composed right-footed finish from the centre of the box just before the break. Gladbach tried to reset at half-time, throwing on Robin Hack, Hugo Bolin, and Giovanni Reyna simultaneously in the 58th minute, but a fractious spell of four yellow cards in quick succession between the 45th and 62nd minutes — including a double booking for a heated argument involving Jakic and Sander — disrupted any momentum they sought to build. Gregoritsch's second goal on 72 minutes extinguished any hope of a comeback, and though Reyna pulled one back with a late consolation, the afternoon belonged emphatically to Augsburg, who will climb the table with a result that exposes just how fragile Gladbach remain defensively when pressed.
