Dortmund lose to Augsburg

Borussia Dortmund's Bundesliga title hopes took a hit as they fell 2-1 to Augsburg, marking their second defeat in five days. After an early lead from Donyell Malen, Augsburg's Alexis Claude-Maurice equalized with a long-range strike and later scored the winner shortly after halftime. Dortmund's defensive issues were evident once more, contributing to their struggle as they remain winless in four away games this season, now sitting eighth in the league with just 13 points. The defeat adds pressure on coach Nuri Sahin, who faced criticism following a previous loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Augsburg's victory marks their first win against Dortmund in four years and helps them rise to 11th place in the Bundesliga. Dortmund's Almugera Kabar was sent off in stoppage time, compounding their woes.
