(Augsburg – Borussia Dortmund 2-0) Erling Braut Haaland (20) got a real nose thief. In a double sense. The anticlimax was total.
In January he made his debut with three fantastic goals as a substitute in Augsburg in the exchange operation that gave him a 5-3 victory.
On Saturday afternoon, the 20-year-old had a completely different experience. He hardly had a chance and was never close to following up on both goals at the start of the Bundesliga against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
– One of their worst matches, says Viasat expert Lars Tjærnås.
Already in the first half, there was frustration on Haaland’s part. After about half an hour it narrowed. After a difficult tackle and a yellow card for local team Rani Khedira, the Norwegian overflowed.

– Hanekamp. This is every day when you play Augsburg. They provoke what they can, Jan Åge Fjørtoft said in Viasat’s study.
After the success of January, he was well wrapped up by plugs Gouweleeuw and Felix Uduokhai.
VG Live: Haaland’s defeat minute by minute
Augsburg did its best to break the connecting lines of Jordan Sancho, Giovanni Reyna and Thomas Meunier.
– They had almost no chances, says Gouweleeuw after the game. He believes Augsburg managed to follow his compact battle plan to perfection and could quickly score both number three and four towards the end.
Haaland played Sancho for free with a beautiful heel strike, but just barely got to his own chances. Borussia Dortmund had the ball almost all the time.
After a brief fight with the defender, Florian Niederlechner finally got the ball home.

On set, Uduokhai clearly won the aerial duel with Manuel Akanji. The midfielder scored 1-0 over a passive goalkeeper Roman Bürki.
After the break, things got worse for Dortmund.
Augsburg countered the visitors at the sink. Caligiuri ends in a career duel with Thomas Meunier, wins and places the ball in the goal. Caligiuri has also scored five goals against Dortmund as a Schalke player.
Dortmund replaced both Marco Reus and Julian Brandt. It helped little. The Augsburg players ran an average of one kilometer more than those in black and yellow.
Finally, Erling Braut Haaland had a chance. The forward was played by Jordan Sancho. He tried to get it between Rafael Gikiewich’s legs. But the Augsburg goalkeeper saved again.
