Kevin Trapp:
Had not conceded a goal against Augsburg in the past four games.
But this time it was 0:1 after 32 seconds.
The goalkeeper made the best of it: kept strong afterwards.
Made his biggest save when he reflexively parried a direct acceptance from Demirovic with his arm just before the half-time break.
Was back in World Cup shape.

Tuta:
The Brazilian wasn't up to par when it was 0-1.
Augsburg goalscorer Berisha made him look bad.
Must get more bite in his duel lead over the full distance again.
Kristijan Jakic:
Not flawless as the initial defender, but with a lot of good moves.
Prepared Knauff's 2-1 winner.
Switched to defensive midfield after replacing Rode.
Evan Ndicka:
Is not at his best considering his high standards.
But his current condition is good enough for a solid performance.
Slipped away as the last man after 81 minutes and was lucky that Demirovic didn't take the great chance to make it 2-2.
Junior Dina Ebimbe:
Eintracht professional with great energy.
Sprinting, struggling and fighting for balls.
The preparatory work to Rodes 1-1 was his first assist. Missed the goal himself to make it 2-1 when FCA goalkeeper Gikiewicz was able to save the shot.
Luca Pellegrini:
No Powerman.
Acted pomadig and wasn't much help to his teammates.
With ball losses and orientation problems.
Was rightly the first player to be substituted.
Sebastian Rode:
"Man of the Match" in the Champions League game at Sporting Lisbon.
Also in Augsburg with a royal performance.
With his goal to make it 1-1, the third this season, he already matched his goal record from the 2019/2020 season.
Went forward as captain with great confidence.
Djibril Sow:
The frequent runner unwound his program routinely.
Provided ball safety in most cases and set the pace as needed.
Jesper Lindström:
Again with a decent radius of action.
Looking for the sprint down.
Cleared the way for Rode's goal with the right flair.
Gikiewicz fended off the Dane's free kick with a flight to the corner.
Mario Götze:
Not his most striking game.
Was still good enough to be able to make a difference with his game intelligence and his ball skills.
Gives his team structure and stability.
Randal Kolo Muani:
Came close to scoring his fourth Bundesliga goal.
Only the post of the Augsburg goal prevented this.
With his strength and his irrepressible urge to score, the Frenchman can hardly be controlled by his opponents.
He's always good for scoring.
Ansgar Knauff:
Came for Pellegrini, saw and won.
Substituted at the beginning of the second half, he was the match winner with his goal to make it 2-1.
Confidently provided a lot of momentum on the left wing with plenty of energy.
Rafael Borré:
Replaced Lindstrom.
Remained unlucky and goalless.
Hrvoje Smolcic:
Was allowed to play for Rode.
Did his duty.
Faride Alidou:
Replaced Dina Ebimbe.
Without formative action.
Lucas Alario:
Played briefly in place of Kolo Muani.
Missed the 3:1.
