Augsburg vs Union Berlin ends in frustration as winless run reaches five

FC Augsburg left the WWK Arena with a 1-1 draw against Union Berlin on 24 October 2026, and the result stretched their winless Bundesliga run to five matches. Han-Noah Massengo put Augsburg ahead in the 71st minute, but Janik Haberer answered three minutes later. The game had already been turned by Felix Uduokhai's red card in the 19th minute.

Augsburg's control did not turn into three points

The broad issue for Augsburg was simple enough. They had the lead and, after Uduokhai's dismissal, spent long spells with the extra man, but still left with only a point. That leaves them 10th in the Bundesliga, which is a decent place to be on paper, but not much comfort when a five-match winless run is hanging over the side.

Union's point keeps them 17th, but the bigger story in the game was Augsburg failing to make the most of the advantage that should have put the match away. The red cards and the quick swing in the second half made it scrappy, but Augsburg still had enough of the game to do better.

The Massengo and Haberer swing

Massengo's goal looked as if it might settle things after 71 minutes. It was the kind of moment Augsburg needed after a flat run, and the timing gave them a clear route to three points.

Union answered almost immediately. Haberer levelled in the 74th minute, and the game was level again before Augsburg could settle into the lead.

Amid the noise, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw reached 275 Bundesliga appearances for Augsburg and moved past Daniel Baier as the club's record appearance holder. It was the one calm statistic in a chaotic afternoon.
