FC Augsburg and SC Freiburg met up at the pitch on Saturday night to play a thrilling match that saw both teams struggle to find their rhythm. The match was a close one but FC Augsburg managed to draw the game 1-1.
The game started off evenly with both teams struggling to find their rhythm. FC Augsburg looked more confident in the early stages of the match and scored their first goal in the 22nd minute after a corner kick from the right side of the field. However, SC Freiburg were able to equalize just before the half time break through a header from their own goalkeeper.
In the second half, FC Augsburg found themselves playing with more confidence as they looked to continue their winning streak. They were given a chance to score again in the 57th minute when Gregoritsch headed in a header from a corner kick. But unfortunately, it was not enough to overcome the deficit and SC Freiburg sealed the win with another header from their own goalpost.
