2 – 2
FC Augsburg
Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Outstanding performance
FC Augsburg•AttackerThis was a match defined more by caution than quality, with both sides seemingly wary of overcommitting given the stakes attached to their respective league positions. Augsburg, despite sitting outside the European picture, controlled the tempo for large stretches and matched Leverkusen shot for shot in a game starved of clear-cut chances. Leverkusen's title credentials didn't translate into control here, as they managed just a single shot and struggled to impose their usual attacking rhythm. Ultimately a 2-2 scoreline suggests goals came from moments of quality rather than sustained pressure, with neither side able to build on their spells of dominance to find a winner.
