FCA celebrate 3-2 friendly win against Regensburg

FC Augsburg won 3-2 against SSV Jahn Regensburg in their first friendly of the day. They will also face Ajax (15:00 CEST) in their second friendly as part of the club’s Family Day event on 29th July.

Head coach Enrico Maaßen went with four attacking players in his starting line-up in Ermedin Demirović, Dion Beljo, Maurice Malone and Nathanaël Mbuku. Robert Gumny was also able to return to the pitch after having been out with an ankle injury.

After an evenly-matched opening quarter of an hour, FCA had two good chances to take the lead. Demirović’s chipped shot crashed off the woodwork, before Malone missed from close range (22’). The hosts would go on to take the lead in the 35th minute, as Felix Uduokhai found Malone with a long ball over the defence. His low cross found Beljo, who tapped in. Gumny was able to double FCA’s advantage just before half time, after a strong run down the wing from Mbuku (45’).

After experiencing heavy rain during the first half, the sun returned in time for the second 45 minutes. Regensburg had two chances saved by Tomáš Koubek (47’/67’), as Demirović would further extend FCA’s lead to 3-0. After getting on the end of a pass from Iago, the striker smashed a shot in under the crossbar (58’). Regensburg netted twice in the closing stages through Noel Eichinger (85’ pen.) and Noah Ganaus (90’), but fell just short of a comeback. 

FCA were able to celebrate a narrow 3-2 win in their first friendly of a day, as they prepare to take on Ajax at 15:00 CEST.
