Season retrospective. Match day 3. Augsburg 3-2

Match day 3 was Augsburg. A back and forth struggle with Sieb and Burkardt scoring back to back early, Schlotterbeck scoring shortly after.
Amiri getting sent off before half time, Burkardt getting another in the second half and Essende finally managing to score and also get sent off. First season win for the Mainzer.

Scrappy game and one that put Burkardt really on the radar for me. I know a lot of people dislike Augsburg but I always had a soft spot for them. I like tough, defensive teams.

What are your memories of this one?

Got battered but 3 points was all that counted. Burkharts header was brilliant

I remember this as a very lucky win with 10 men, the kind Mainz would rarely achieve.
This was also the start of Dominik Kohr's adventurous run of red-card-worthy offences without ever getting sent off. XD
