Haaland lit up when Augsburg player Rani Khedira tackled 17-year-old Jude Bellingham badly after half an hour of play.
It ended with an argument between several players before Augsburg captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw slapped Haaland across the face. Judge Martin Petersen, who had his back turned to the situation, saw only Haaland push the captain away.
Therefore, Haaland received a yellow card first, while Gouweleeuw ended up in the book after the VAR analyzed the situation.
Get Haaland opportunities
The hosts appeared to be successful in getting under the skin of the title challengers, and just ten minutes after the handshake, Augsburg took the lead for Felix Uduokhai.
Where it just stayed almost for Dortmund, Daniel Caligiuri got space and time when he was sent backstage, and doubled the lead.
Haaland came almost first in extra time, but his right foot shot was parried by goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz.

Thus, it ended with a painful defeat for Dortmund, who cannot afford to give up many points in the title match against Bayern Munich.
Sørloth debut
At the same time as Haaland and Dortmund were losing, Alexander Sørloth made his debut for RB Leipzig when Yussuf Poulsen had to leave with injury after 27 minutes of play against Bayer Leverkusen.
Sørloth was immediately marked with a strong showing against Emil Forsberg, but it wasn’t going to be a dream Bundesliga debut for the Trøndelag man of the kind Haaland landed in January.
Haaland scored three goals, in less than half an hour as a substitute, against Augsburg in January.
Neither RB Leipzig nor Bayer Leverkusen scored after Sørloth’s entry, leaving the match 1-1.
