FC Augsburg turned the game against VfB Stuttgart and finally rewarded themselves with a win again.
Markus Weinzierl is happy about his anniversary success.
The Stuttgart team are still unlucky with injuries.
A veteran criticizes the attitude at VfB.
Augsburg - Markus Weinzierl threw his arms up in relief after his anniversary win with FC Augsburg.
His players and their offspring were celebrated in front of their own fan curve.
The entourage of VfB Stuttgart, which was still plagued by injuries, crept into the dressing room disappointed.
FC Augsburg has finally found a way out of its crisis against VfB Stuttgart.
Two goals from a corner and two strikers' goals resulted in a convincing 4: 1 (1: 1) for Weinzierl's 50th Bundesliga victory as coach in Fuggerstadt.
"To show such a reaction is worthy of all honor," said the Augsburg coach.
“We are super happy.
The team came back impressively after falling behind, a huge compliment to the team, ”praised manager Stefan Reuter at DAZN.
With the acclaimed second success of the season, the FCA moved up to one point on VfB on Sunday, but is still in relegation place 16. Despite leading after two forced personnel changes in the first half, the Stuttgart completely lost the rhythm against the running Augsburgers and see growing relegation concerns opposite.
Midfielder Daniel Didavi was angry - even with a view to the numerous failures.
“I won't accept that today.
The attitude was missing, ”he said.
"We do not need to discuss it away that it is now enough," said sporting director Sven Mislintat about the injuries misery.
Stuttgart's Chris Führich took the lead in the seventh minute in front of 17,500 spectators.
Reece Oxford (30th) with his third header goal in the last four competitive games and captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw (53rd) also headed after a corner from Arne Maier gave the FCA the first sense of achievement after four previously winless league games.
Joker Florian Niederlechner (72nd) as a result of another standard and Alfred Finnbogason (81st) even increased - each with his foot.
It is the highest win of the season for Augsburg.

The injury bad luck remained true to the Stuttgarters.
They had to do without defender Konstantinos Mavropanos and were forced to make two substitutions for goal scorer Führich and Marc Oliver Kempf in the first half.
There is still no diagnosis in both cases, said VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo.
Augsburg club boss Klaus Hofmann had ruled out a personal discussion about Weinzierl and manager Stefan Reuter during the week.
Reuter once again left Weinzierl in no doubt.
"We are convinced of the quality of the squad and also very convinced of Markus Weinzierl," said Reuter.
Nice words - but they did not prevent the Stuttgart leadership.
Führich pulled in from the right side, left Mads Pedersen and finished with a dry left-footed shot from 17 meters.
It was VfB's earliest goal this Bundesliga season.
Fifteen minutes later, however, Führich had to be substituted for Tanguy Coulibaly with ankle problems.
The Stuttgart dominated the initial phase with speed.
The Augsburgers, on the other hand, weren't really dangerous at first - until Oxford climbed up.
After a corner from Maier, he did not give Waldemar Anton, who had only recovered from a corona infection, a chance in an aerial battle.
VfB had to replace the next injured player with complaints in the thigh against the increasingly determined approaching home side in Kempf (39th), Clinton Mola got his chance.
Again Maier took the corner, again a defender was on the spot - this time Gouweleeuw, who nodded off from close range against the undecided goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow.
The Augsburg fans went into raptures when the substitute Niederlechner from an acute angle and Finnbogason raised their feet.
