Borussia rescue point in opening day goalfest Borussia salvaged a 4-4 draw in the last minute...

Edin Terzic named the same starting side that were victorious in the cup against TSV Schott Mainz last weekend.

Ermedin Demirović: “On the one hand it was a brilliant game, but on the other hand at the end of the game we have only come away with a point. It is a positive that we managed to fight back and showed that we can play completely different to how we did in the DFB-Pokal. This is the FC Augsburg that we want to be. We showed another side of us and want to build on that.”

Pavard’s sustained excellence of late has not gone unnoticed as Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann praised the Frenchman after the match.

Like in the DFB-Pokal game, Merlin Röhl got a start in midfield, while Hoffenheim’s new signing Weghorst was not in the host’s squad due to injury. The game began with a headed opportunity for Hoffenheim (3‘), but Grischa Prömels’ attempt went well wide of Noah Atubolu’s goal. The hosts maintained this pressure and had three shots in close succession after five minutes, with SC unable to effectively clear the ball. Atubolu was unable to hold on to one of these shots and Andrej Kramaric was in the right place to tap it home. The home fans celebrated, but the Croatia international was in an offside position.

In Márton Dárdai and Jessic Ngankam, Hertha have two players called up to the Germany U21s squad for the U21s EUROs. Antonio Di Salvo originally called up a provisional squad of 26 players, including goalkeepers, before cutting three players on 14th June.
