VfL Wolfsburg’s wait for a first home league win of the 2024/25 season goes on. In fact, the Wolves, who were dominant for long spells but too toothless against an effective Augsburg side, were on the brink of defeat until Mohammed Amoura made it 1-1 late on with a powerful strike.
Match summary
With over 70 percent possession, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men were the dominant team against Augsburg but fell behind in the 34th minute through Philipp Tietz. And 1-0 was how it stayed for a long time at the Volkswagen Arena.
The Green-and-Whites came out with more tempo and drive in the second half but genuine chances remained hard to come by. Tiago Tomas poked the ball narrowly wide on the hour mark, before Joakim Maehle was denied by FCA goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic after a mistake by Chrislain Matsima (72’). Just before that, Augsburg offered a rare threat in the form of substitute Samuel Essende (70’) as the visitors increasingly sat back and defended. The Wolves kept pushing and were finally rewarded in the 82nd minute, when Amoura hammered the ball home from Maehle’s lay-off to level the score.
