Three league victories in a row!

RBL won 3-0 against FC Augsburg on matchday 4 of the Bundesliga at the Red Bull Arena. There was already reason to celebrate before the game, as Péter Gulásci was named on the bench for the first time after sustaining a serious knee injury last October. What's more, the game was an opportunity to celebrate Yussuf Poulsen's ten-year anniversary as an RBL player!

Castello Jr. was straight into the action on his maiden start, as he put in a big tackle to prevent Dion Beljo from getting a shot off. After that, RBL turned up the heat. Emil Forsberg gave the ball to Lois Openda and his cross into the Augsburg box found Xavi, who headed home to put us 1-0 up in the seventh minute. Our starboys switched roles four minutes later, with the goalscorer turning creator and playing a delicate through-ball, which our number 17 latched onto and duly slotted into the bottom-right corner.

Our third goal came in the 27th minute. Once again, everything went through Xavi in the middle of the park and he found Yussuf Poulsen with an outside-of-the-boot pass. The Dane put a low cross for David Raum at the back post and the left-back scored his first RBL goal. Just before the break, Openda almost had his second when he was one-on-one with Augsburg 'keeper Finn Dahmen.

There wasn't much to report from the second half. The visitors shot out of the blocks after the break and almost got one back through Phillip Tietz's header in the 48th minute, but Janis Blaswich was quick to react. They started to get on the front foot a bit more, with Ermedin Demirovic having the biggest chance. However, RBL's goalkeeper was there once again to block his close-range effort. Our boys looked to hit them on the counter, but just couldn't find the final pass.
