Augsburg made light work of Schalke on Sunday, 30 August 2026, running out 3-0 winners at the WWK Arena in a game that was rarely in doubt after the break. They led 1-0 at half-time thanks to a first-half goal that gave them the platform, then pulled away after the interval as Schalke's resistance faded. The hosts were relentless going forward, firing off 24 shots to Schalke's 11 and putting 13 of those on target, a return that tells its own story. Eleven corners to three summed up how territorial Augsburg were, even if Schalke actually edged possession 53% to 47%. The man of the moment was Anton Kade, who took charge of the game and walked off with a rating of 9.7 out of 10 for his efforts. Schalke will need to go away and rethink how they defend against sides who don't need the ball to hurt them, because for long spells they were chasing shadows. For Augsburg, this was a statement win, three points banked in some style and a real marker laid down early in the season.
