6 goals in the second half

FC Augsburg secured a comfortable 9-0 win over Austrian third division side FC Kufstein on Tuesday evening.

FCA made a bright start to the contest and took the lead in the 5th minute through central defender Frederik Winther.

Sven Michel made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute, before Ruben Vargas added another just 5 minutes later (28’).

Enrico Maaßen’s men kept their foot on the gas when the teams came back out for the second half. Substitute Maurice Malone scored a quick fire brace to make it 5-0 (50’, 57’), before Mert Kömür, who turned 18 yesterday, added a 6th (61’). Irvin Cardona then capped off a superb day for FCA with a late hat-trick (65’, 80’, 90’).

Augsburg are next in action on Saturday, 22nd July against Dutch side PSV Eindhoven (15:00). Maaßen’s side will remain at their training camp in Schladming until Sunday.
