46th minute: With two attacking changes (Kainz and Hajrovic for Bauer and Eggestein), Nouri has sent his team back out in a 4-4-2 system.
56th minute: Werder have started well after the break. They are trying everything to get back into the game and Hajrovic’s volley from Kainz’s cross is blocked.
57th minute: Belfodil’s cross from the right falls to Sané in the six-yard box but Hitz is there again.
61st minute: Goal, 3-0 for FCA, Michael Gregoritsch. Frustrating! Werder are outnumbered at the back from a counter after Khedira wins the ball off Kainz. Caiuby plays Gregoritsch through and he leaves Pavlenka no chance once again.
71st minute: Werder are wobbling. Max crosses once again and Finnbogason is unmarked six yards out but he heads over. Pavlenka saves moments later from Khedira before Heller fires over from a narrow angle.
90+1 minute: Full-time at the Weserstadion. Werder fall to their fifth defeat of the season.
Summary: The intentions of both teams were clear from the start, with Werder wanting to push forward and Augsburg wanting to snuff out their attacks and hit the Green-Whites on the counter. Werder were putting on more and more pressure until 10 minutes before the break when FCA captain raised a warning sign with a shot which hit the bar before the double-whammy from Manuel Baum’s side. Werder came out strongly after the restart in a 4-4-2 formation but after the third goal, the Green-Whites’ heads went down and could not get back into the game.
