  • Karim Adeyemi converted Maxi Beier’s low cross in the 13th minute to give Dortmund the lead.
  • Luca Reggiani, 18, headed in from a Julian Ryerson corner on 59 minutes for his first senior goal, extending BVB’s run of scoring from set pieces in nine of their last ten league matches.
  • Dortmund controlled play with 61% first-half possession, a 9–3 shot edge before the break, and a 12–2 advantage in corners overall.
  • Augsburg goalkeeper Finn Dahmen made several strong saves as Dortmund also struck the crossbar twice, keeping the margin at two.
  • Defensive absences persisted with Emre Can, Ramy Bensebaini and Filippo Mane out, and Daniel Svensson departed injured, while the victory lifted BVB to 58 points, already more than last season, ahead of a home date with Hamburger SV.
