The defeat was also absolutely deserved in height, said the midfielder.

After the sobering trip to Scotland during the week, RB boss Oliver Mintzlaff had shown himself confidently in terms of premier class on Sunday in Sport1-double passport.

In this phase, Augsburg hardly invested energy in his own attacks and RB got better. In the first 45 minutes, however, the Saxons were generally missing from the consequence on the offensive before the ball ended up at Silva after a chain of unfortunate defense campaigns by Augsburg: the Portuguese conclusion from 18 meters for redeeming leadership. And after the break, Nkunku and Co. really turn up.

First Mukiele broke into the penalty area and staged Nkunku, who only had to insert. The 3-0 fell almost congruent. Again, the imposed Mukiele fit on Nkunku and the French international remained freezing cold. As a result, Silva (61.) still had the chance to increase and just shot just next to it, Forsberg aimed more closely. After Mukiele fell on a corner, referee Bastian Dankert showed the video images to the penalty point - and Forsberg hit the bottom left.
