The match started with Augsburg scaring and scoring a goal in the eighth minute, but the referee disallowed it after a VAR review. The duel, then, became more lukewarm, with neither team managing to create good goal chances and engage in the game. In the final stretch of the first half, opportunities appeared more, but the duel went to the break at 0-0.
On the way back from the changing rooms, Augsburg scored once again, but, again, the goal was disallowed after analysis by VAR. When it looked like the 0-0 would go until the end, Fredrik Jensen finally scored the winning goal for the home team after two goals annulled earlier in the duel.
