FC Augsburg – Borussia Dortmund 0:3 (0:0)

90.+5 min: From! End! Over! BVB will take the lead in the Bundesliga on Matchday 33!

90.+4 min: TOOOOOOOOOR! The last doubts dispelled! Reus gets through to Brandt, who converts with his left to make it 3-0 - the decision.

90th minute: Concern for Hummels! The BVb star remains lying down after a header duel and is then led off the pitch in a daze and supported. The 33-year-old looks scarred. Schlotterbeck comes for him.

87th minute: That must have been the break in FCA's neck. With one man less, Augsburg's chances are now only theoretical. It is significant that the classic centre-forward Haller, of all people, is shooting BVB towards the championship.

Borussia Dortmund now live at FCA: BVB upping the ante! Now everything is going against FC Bayern

84th minute: TOOOOOOOOOR! The decision! The lead in the standings! The championship? Malen serves Reus, who initially fails to Koubek, but Haller is on the spot and dusts off to make it 2-0 for BVB!

82nd minute: Double chance for BVB! Haller puts a header just over, then Brandt fails at the strongly reacting Koubek. Dortmund are now back in the game and keep FCA more away from their own goal.

77th minute: There's a lot at stake, you can see that! BVB no longer have control over the game, FCA are pressing for an equaliser. This will be a thrilling final phase.

73rd minute: It's getting heated! There is a pack formation because Can and Demirovic get into each other's wool a bit. But it's not that bad. But as you can see – now there's fire in it!

67th minute: You can't tell that FCA are one man down at the moment. The people of Fuggerstadt are defending themselves with everything they have and the audience is now there! BVB are under a bit of pressure ...

62nd minute: The equaliser almost immediately! BVB are too high with the back four, the substitute Cardona is cleared with a fantastic ball, but fails in a one-on-one to Kobel. What's going on here?

59th minute: TOOOOOOR! The goal for the top of the standings? Malen actually crosses badly into the middle, but Bauer does not clear decisively, Haller takes the ball on us to the fully deserved lead for BVB.

54th minute: Post! Dusel for the FCA, a can finish just bangs on the aluminum.

52nd minute: Guerreiro! The Portuguese with a good finish from 17 yards, but just past the post to the right.

48th minute: BVB have the first goal in the form of Brandt. On the other side, Engels is fouled in the penalty area, but the free kick is deflected off the wall – no danger.

46th minute: The second half continues in Augsburg.

+++ Half-time conclusion: BVB is the better team here, determines the action and has the better chances. In addition, they are one man more after Uduokhai's sending-off. There was a lot going on against FC Bayern in the first half – but at least the result gives us hope. Currently, Dortmund would be level on points, but still second due to the worse goal difference. +++

45.+3 min: Despite 16 shots on goal, Dortmund have not yet scored a goal. But now it's goalless at the break.

44th minute: Almost everything seems to be going against FC Bayern now. Only the result should please the record champions. With a draw, Dortmund would only draw level, but would not take over the top of the table due to the worse goal difference.

40th minute: On the ensuing free kick, Süle heads the ball to the post. But now the 1:0 is in the air...

38th minute: Uduokhai saves Malen, clear and free kick for BCB. Then the VAR reports and there is red for FCA because Uduokhai was supposedly the last man standing. You can represent it, even if it's a bit hard. So BVB were outnumbered for a half.

34th minute: Big chance for Dortmund! Can serves Brandt, who appears free in front of Koubek, who is outside the penalty area. But instead of playing off the keeper, Brandt finishes and Koubek lends the ball into the goal with his foot.

32nd minute: BVB have to pay a bit of tribute to the high initial pace. The temperatures are also in the summer range for the first time today, which of course doesn't make it any better for the stars on the pitch.

27th minute: FCA have now caught up a little, the big BVB pressure is over. Balanced game in the meantime, even if Dortmund remain dangerous again and again.

21st minute: Koubek! Outstanding parade! Hummels with a sugar ball on Brandt, who picks the ball down and lays it across to Haller. The BVB striker turns up the heat again, Gouweleeuw blocks his shot slightly, the FCA keeper scratches the shot from the angle.

18th minute: But now BVB have Dusel. Demirovic puts in a wonderful pass to the incoming Beljo, but the ball bounces off. Bitter, he would have stood in front of Frei in front of Kobel.

10th minute: BVB presses to make it 1-0! Again, Guerreiro is the initiator. Malen plays free with a great movement, lays in the back area to Adeyemi, who does not hit the ball properly. In addition, an FCA attacker was still in between.

8th minute: First big chance! Guerreiro dribbles his way through the FCA defence, Brandt puts in a nice pass to Wolf. His first contact in the penalty area is not really clean, so the finish is too central - no problem for Koubek.

4th minute: Quite disjointed first few minutes here. Dorsch lays Wolf and there is a free kick for BVB on the edge of the penalty area. Malen, however, chases him two meters over the gate.

1st minute: Kick-off! The ball is rolling in Augsburg.

Update from May 21, 17:24 p.m.: So, in a few minutes the game will kick off. Since VfB Stuttgart have just won 4-1 against Mainz 05, FCA will be looking for something else against BVB. Bad for the Black and Yellows?

Update from May 21, 17:05 p.m.: What does Edin Terzic say about Bayern's defeat? "We watched the entire second half in the hotel," the BVB coach said on DAZN: "Of course we noticed all that, but it doesn't do us any good if we don't do our job. There's no special speech from me, we'll do it like we've done all season and then we'll try to show the best performance of the season today." Let's be curious ...

Update from May 21, 16:56 p.m.: DAZN pundit Michael Ballack was a spectator at the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening. Today he is in Augsburg. "Both of them struggled with ups and downs, but yesterday was a shock in a way," said the ex-Bayern captain: "I think Bayern are self-critical enough, then there will be personnel consequences. Everything in the squad is being questioned, there was already one in the coaching position, but also among those responsible. That's normal at FC Bayern."

Update from May 21, 16:33 p.m.: The BVB line-up is here! Somewhat surprisingly, Marco Reus is not in the starting line-up as Bellingham's replacement. The 33-year-old is just sitting on the bench again.

Munich/Augsburg – Borussia Dortmund actually have the opportunity to take over the top of the Bundesliga table on Matchday 33. With a victory over FC Augsburg, BVB would complete the Bayern debacle this season, which culminated in the bitter 1-3 defeat against RB Leipzig.

However, Dortmund will have to do without an important player: Jude Bellingham missed the final training session on Saturday - and was not on the BVB plane to Augsburg afterwards. Accordingly, the youngster, who has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, will not be able to play.

Borussia Dortmund live at FCA today: Will BVB make the Bayern debacle perfect?

With a victory, BVB would overtake FC Bayern. Then Dortmund would have a two-point lead and would have the championship in their own hands. "For us, it's now about having the chance to win in Cologne at the weekend and then I want to see Dortmund win twice," said Thomas Müller on Saturday evening after the defeat against RB Leipzig. "If they do, then I say: Hats off. Then they deserve it with this second half of the season. But they still have two games to go."
