The match, goal by goal
2 of the 5 goals came after half-time.
3' Own goal (Bayer Leverkusen) 0-1
Matchday 3 of the Bundesliga, on 28 August 2021, brought Bayer Leverkusen to WWK Arena to face FC Augsburg. Only three minutes had passed when an own goal put the visitors ahead 0-1. The hosts were left chasing the game almost from the opening whistle.
14' Own goal (Bayer Leverkusen) 0-2
In the 14th minute, a second own goal of the afternoon doubled Bayer Leverkusen's advantage to 0-2. The visitors had built a two-goal cushion early in the first half without a single goal from one of their own players. Augsburg would pull one back, but never drew level, which made this the goal that ultimately decided the match.
30' Florian Niederlechner (FC Augsburg) 1-2
Two goals down, FC Augsburg responded in the 30th minute through Florian Niederlechner, cutting the deficit to 1-2. It was the home side's only goal of the match and brought them within one before half-time. The score stayed that way until well into the second half.
75' Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen) 1-3
With the score still 1-2 deep into the second half, Patrik Schick struck in the 75th minute to make it 1-3. It was the first Bayer Leverkusen goal of the match credited to one of their own players, and it restored their two-goal margin. Augsburg's hopes of a comeback were put on hold.
81' Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen) 1-4
Just six minutes after Schick's goal, Florian Wirtz found the net in the 81st minute to make it 1-4. The quick succession of goals stretched the lead to three and effectively settled the contest. Bayer Leverkusen left WWK Arena with a 1-4 away win.
