FC Augsburg 1-0 Hamburger SV: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of FC Augsburg 1-0 Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 22 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The match between FC Augsburg and Hamburger SV began with both sides vying for control in a tightly contested first half, where possession was nearly even and neither team could find a breakthrough. Keven Schlotterbeck picked up a yellow card for Augsburg in the 34th minute, followed shortly by Nicolás Capaldo's booking for Hamburger in the 38th, as the game remained goalless at the interval with limited clear-cut chances. Defensive solidity dominated, with successful dribbles almost identical, setting the stage for a potential second-half spark.

The second half saw increased intensity, with Nicolai Remberg yellow-carded for Hamburger in the 61st minute, before Augsburg made double substitutions at 64' as S. Essende replaced M. Komur and E. Saad replaced A. Claude-Maurice. Hamburger responded with a change at 72' when R. Philippe replaced F. Vieira, but Augsburg broke the deadlock in the 76th minute through A. Kade's goal assisted by D. Giannoulis, shifting the momentum decisively. The drama escalated when Schlotterbeck received a second yellow and subsequent red card in the 81st minute, forcing Augsburg to see out the game with ten men amid late substitutions from both sides, ultimately securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory.

Possession was closely matched with FC Augsburg holding 48% compared to Hamburger SV's 52%, indicating a balanced affair where neither side dominated territorially, though this slight edge for Hamburger failed to translate into goals as their attacks were often thwarted. Corners were edged by Augsburg at 4-3, suggesting better set-piece opportunities that contributed to their decisive moment, while successful dribbles were nearly identical at 39-38 in Augsburg's favour, highlighting individual flair but limited end product for the visitors. Card statistics revealed a more heated encounter for both, with Augsburg receiving 2 yellows and 1 red – the latter reducing them to ten men late on – against Hamburger's 3 yellows, potentially disrupting rhythm; meanwhile, Augsburg's single assist underlined their efficiency in converting chances, supported by 4 substitutions including key changes at 64' where S. Essende came on for M. Komur and E. Saad for A. Claude-Maurice, compared to Hamburger's 5 subs like R. Philippe replacing F. Vieira at 72', which aimed to chase the game but ultimately couldn't overturn the deficit.

The absence of penalties or injury-time goals kept the scoreline tight, but Augsburg's assist advantage proved pivotal in a match where tactical adjustments via substitutions, such as H. Massengo making way for E. Rexhbecaj at 73' for Augsburg and double changes at 82' for Hamburger with R. Glatzel replacing J. Torunarigha and A. Rossing-Lelesiit replacing G. Gocholeishvili, influenced the flow without altering the result significantly.

The game's turning point arrived in the 76th minute when A. Kade scored for FC Augsburg, assisted by D. Giannoulis, breaking the deadlock in what had been a stalemate and rewarding their slight edge in attacking intent. This was compounded shortly after by Keven Schlotterbeck's red card in the 81st minute following his second yellow, leaving Augsburg to defend their lead with a numerical disadvantage and heightening the tension in the closing stages. Impactful substitutions, such as Augsburg's double switch at 64' bringing on S. Essende and E. Saad, injected fresh energy that contributed to the goal, while Hamburger's late efforts, including changes at 86' with G. Ramos replacing N. Capaldo and I. Pherai replacing A. S. Lokonga, came too late to mount a comeback.

FC Augsburg lined up in a 3-4-3 formation, emphasising defensive resilience with Keven Schlotterbeck anchoring the backline before his dismissal, while partnerships like D. Giannoulis providing the assist for A. Kade highlighted effective wing play and midfield support in transitioning to attack.

Hamburger SV deployed a 3-4-3 shape, focusing on balanced possession with players like Nicolás Capaldo in midfield contributing to their slight territorial advantage, though standout roles in attack struggled to form productive partnerships against Augsburg's organised defence.

A. Kade earned Man of the Match honours for his decisive contribution, netting the only goal of the game in the 76th minute with composure and proving instrumental in Augsburg's victory, his performance standing out amid a match defined by defensive battles and tactical shifts.
