Tactical Story

Augsburg II controlled the opening half‑hour but faded after the break as Regensburg II introduced fresh legs. The visitors’ high press caused problems, and the defensive errors from both sides were expected given the pre‑season context. Set pieces proved crucial, with two of the four goals coming from corners or penalties.
