18 Oct 2026Elversberg 4-3 Augsburg: Petkov 8.6 Sofascore Rating
SV 07 Elversberg outlasted FC Augsburg 4-3 in a wild Bundesliga clash at Ursapharm-Arena an der Kaiserlinde, closing out a seven-goal thriller that had two penalties, woodwork drama, and a frantic finish. The hosts led 3-1 at halftime and held on despite a late Augsburg surge and a stoppage-time missed penalty from the spot for Elversberg.
On a night where both sides traded chances, Elversberg’s efficiency told the story. Shots on target finished level at 8-8, yet the hosts produced a higher expected goals on target total and converted the bigger moments. You can relive the full timeline, ratings and heatmaps on Sofascore’s match page, and track the season picture in the Bundesliga.
Fast start sets the tone
Elversberg needed only four minutes to shock Augsburg. Finn Dahmen saved a penalty but Lukas Petkov reacted quickest and scored from the ensuing phase for 1-0. Six minutes later, Lasse Günther finished a sweeping break after Maurice Krattenmacher sprang him, pushing the lead to 2-0. Augsburg were rattled by Elversberg’s vertical play and quick transitions through the middle third.
The hosts stretched it to 3-0 on 28 minutes when Maximilian Rohr powered in a header from a Felix Keidel cross, a set-piece routine registered as a corner situation. Augsburg finally found a lifeline when captain Fabian Rieder converted a penalty at 45+9 for 3-1 at the break. The second half brought another Augsburg spot kick on 76 minutes, this time buried by substitute Michael Gregoritsch for 3-2. Elversberg responded in the 89th minute through sub Frederik Schmahl for 4-2 after a slick assist from Petkov, only for Augsburg’s Mert Kömür to volley in at 90’ to make it 4-3. Deep in added time, Elversberg could have sealed it from the spot again, but Noel Futkeu smacked the penalty onto the woodwork.
The numbers that shaped 4-3
Despite trailing for most of the match, Augsburg controlled possession 60-40 and completed more passes 466-326. They also led corners 12-4 and total shots 29-19. Yet Elversberg’s chance quality was superior in the key moments, edging expected goals 3.61 to 3.45 and leading expected goals on target 4.76 to 2.24. Both teams created plenty, with the hosts recording five big chances to Augsburg’s four and scoring three of them.
Elversberg’s defensive activity underpinned the win. They produced 48 clearances to Augsburg’s 15, and won 59 percent of all duels, including 65 percent of aerials. Tackles were a decisive split, with the hosts winning 16 of 22 challenges for a 73 percent success rate. Augsburg reached the final third more often 58-32 and had more touches in the area 49-34, but repeatedly met a compact back line that protected the box. Dribbling and duels leaned Elversberg’s way too, at 10 of 15 successful dribbles compared to Augsburg’s 5 of 13. In short, Augsburg did the volume, Elversberg did the damage.
Lukas Petkov, MVP with an 8.6 Sofascore Rating
Lukas Petkov delivered the decisive all-round display and topped the Sofascore Rating chart at 8.6. He scored the opener within four minutes, kept asking questions between the lines, and then slipped a neat late assist for the crucial 4-2. Petkov stacked elite underlying numbers: 0.998 expected goals, a team-high 1.907 expected goals on target and 0.331 expected assists. He was a duel magnet too, winning 10 contests, and he finished with two shots on target from three attempts.
His work rate without the ball stood out. Petkov made 10 recoveries, completed 4 of 4 tackles and added two interceptions, helping Elversberg flip field position after regains. He posted 18 ball carries for 151 meters total distance and progressed play consistently, all while holding up as an outlet under pressure. Even after his early penalty was saved, he kept his composure, stayed aggressive and produced the winning actions. It was an MVP outing that mixed end product with tireless off-ball graft.
Augsburg’s push and standout contributors
Augsburg’s right flank provided a steady stream of service. Hennes Behrens earned an 8.1 Sofascore Rating with six key passes, five accurate crosses and the assist for Kömür’s 90th-minute strike. Fabian Rieder pulled strings with 52 of 60 passes completed, four key passes and a composed penalty. Half-time changes mattered too. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw helped stabilize the back line on the ball, while Michael Gregoritsch converted from the spot to fuel the late charge.
Between the posts, Finn Dahmen produced four saves and a penalty save early on, finishing with 0.76 goals prevented by the model. For Elversberg, Lasse Günther matched his 7.7 Sofascore Rating with six tackles, eight recoveries and a vital goal on the break. Maximilian Rohr impressed at 7.8, winning seven aerials and scoring his header. Maurice Krattenmacher added three key passes and an assist for 7.8. The late-game swings had VAR fingerprints at times, and referee Florian Exner kept a firm grip with seven minutes of added time in the second half.
Tactics, flow and fine margins
Elversberg lined up in a 4-2-3-1 and struck early through fast central progressions before attacking the wide channels. Augsburg started in a 3-4-2-1 and grew into the match through wing supply and volume crossing 11 accurate crosses from 38 attempts. The visitors’ half-time triple tweak shifted momentum, increasing final-third entries and stacking shots 13-9 in the second half. Still, Elversberg’s compact block, aerial dominance and box defending stemmed most of the danger.
Injuries nudged the plans for the hosts, with Noah Darvich leaving at 40 minutes and Felix Keidel departing late. Substitutes mattered on both sides, notably Frederik Schmahl with a late goal and Mert Kömür with a late reply. By the close, Augsburg’s volume clashed with Elversberg’s resilience. The home side’s 22 tackles, 16 interceptions and a near two-to-one aerial edge were the platform for three points.
