Three days after winning on penalties in the 2nd Cup round against Frankfurt, Dortmund did not set off any fireworks. They stood well at the back and took advantage of one of the few opportunities Augsburg offered them up front.

Serhou Guirassy scored the only goal in an uneventful match. The 29-year-old striker benefited from a mishap in the Augsburg defense in the 37th minute and kept his cool in front of goal. The home team, with Fabian Rieder playing through, showed a clear improvement on the 6-0 defeat against Leipzig. Nevertheless, it was not enough to secure a point.

While BVB jumped up to second place, at least until Saturday, it was a week to forget for Augsburg. Within seven days - during the week, coach Sandro Wagner's team were knocked out of the cup against second-division side Bochum - they suffered three defeats.
