Trouble for Wagner: his big day turns into a disaster

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

Because after just under 25 minutes, his Augsburg side are already trailing 0-2 against Hoffenheim. Of all teams, it’s his former club that’s spoiling Wagner’s 38th birthday.

Bazoumana Tourè (16’) and Wouter Burger (26’) had already taken advantage of FCA’s defensive lapses early on. Wagner immediately let his frustration show.

And he took it out on himself: with expletives on his lips, the former striker hurled his cap onto the bench.

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 two-goal deficit this season.
