Trouble for Wagner: his big day turns into a disaster

Birthdays are supposed to be a personal holiday. But so far, Sandro Wagner has absolutely nothing to laugh about on his special day.

Because after just under 45 minutes, his Augsburg team is already trailing 0-3 against Hoffenheim. Of all teams, it’s his former club that is ruining Wagner’s 38th birthday.

Bazoumana Tourè (16’) and Wouter Burger (26’) had already taken advantage of FCA’s defensive lapses in the first half. Cédric Zesiger also scored an own goal (45’). That’s why Wagner immediately lost his temper.

And he took it out on himself: with foul language on his lips, the former striker hurled his headgear onto the bench after the 0-2.

Of course, there’s still plenty of time for Wagner to get into a party mood after all. But his team has never come back from a three-goal deficit this season.
