FC Augsburg has continued their impressive run of form by defeating Mainz 05 1-0 in the latest round of matches in the Bundesliga. The victory was all the more impressive as FC Augsburg were playing with a man less due to a red card early on.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating chances throughout the game. However, it was FC Augsburg who ultimately broke the deadlock in the 28th minute when Vargas scored his first goal for the club since joining from Villarreal last summer.
Vargas' goal proved to be the difference between the two sides, and FC Augsburg held onto their lead until the final whistle. It was a much-needed win for FC Augsburg, who now sit just three points above the relegation zone.
With only four rounds remaining in the season, FC Augsburg will need every point they can get if they are to avoid being relegated to the second division next season. A win against Eintracht Frankfurt in their next match would certainly boost their confidence going into the final few games of the season.
Overall, this was another solid performance from FC Augsburg, who continue to show that they are one of the top teams in the Bundesliga. With their recent form, they will be looking to build on this victory and secure a spot in Europe's elite league next season.
