The Bavarian team was flown to England for a short trip to face the challenge. After landing in Manchester on Friday evening, they continued to Leeds the next day. The team of German coach Daniel Farke had already shown a strong performance in their preparation, winning test matches against Liverpool (4:2) and RB Leipzig (2:0).
The FC Augsburg lost the friendly match against Leeds United with 0:4 (0:3). The Augsburgers conceded the 0:1 goal after less than 60 seconds through former Mainzer and Hoffenheimer Anton Stach. A spectacular fall-back by Tarik Muharemovic led to the second goal for Leeds (19), shortly after James Justin increased the score to 3:0 (29) from the perspective of the home team.
The FCA must draw lessons from the defeat in the coming week, before facing the challenging cup task on Saturday (13.00 Uhr/Sky) in Cottbus. Eight days later, the Bundesliga season will start with a home game against promoted Schalke 04.
