FC Augsburg before the end - drama in the DFB Cup against VfL Bochum!
Things are going haywire at FC Augsburg: After the significant defeat against RB Leipzig with 0:6 last weekend, the team now sees itself defeated in the DFB Cup. Yesterday, FCA lost 0-1 in a duel against VfL Bochum and their dream of winning the trophy for this season has already been shattered. Loud BR There was great hope for a turnaround in the recent modest game, but the team around coach Sandro Wagner could not avert the crisis.
The game was a tense, head-to-head race. In the first half, VfL Bochum, who came up with quick counterattacks, had several chances. Philipp Strompf missed a good opportunity to take the lead in the 12th minute. Augsburg's Ismael Gharbi also couldn't find a way to score in the 15th minute when he was prevented from shooting by a Bochum defender. A real blow to the neck came in the 39th minute when Gerrit Holtmann made it 1-0 for Bochum with a counterattack.
The second half: courage to go on the offensive, but without success
Coach Wagner reacted and made substitutions in the second half. Mert Kömür brought a breath of fresh air into the game, but the team found no gaps in Bochum's stable defense. An important moment was Alexis Claude-Maurice's impressive free kick in the 82nd minute, which was spectacularly saved by Bochum's goalkeeper Horn. Even in the 86th minute, Fortuna was denied Augsburg's Moritz Kwarteng when his shot was blocked by goalkeeper Labrovic.
The statistics speak for themselves: Despite possession of the ball, FCA were unable to gain anything from the game and thus said goodbye to the DFB Cup. This defeat is not just another setback in an already difficult season, but also puts a lot of pressure on coach Wagner. The DFB Cup, officially known as the DFB Club Cup, is held annually by DFB is held and is considered the most prestigious competition next to the Bundesliga. This season, 64 teams are playing for the title in a knockout system, and with the elimination of Augsburg, the list of title contenders is shrinking even faster.
With the cup out of sight, FC Augsburg now has to focus on the next league games. The fans hope that the team will soon get back on track and pull its head out of the loop. After all, in every crisis there are opportunities to turn things around - but the next game shouldn't become another tough test.
