The match process saw Augsburg take the lead midway through the first half, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from Union. The visitors responded strongly after the break, increasing their pressure and eventually finding a deserved equalizer through a well-taken finish from inside the box. The key incident was a disallowed goal for offside for Augsburg late in the game, which would have given them all three points.
