Fabian Rieder's first Bundesliga match as captain ended in a 3-0 victory for Augsburg against Schalke. Rieder's side made one change from their DFB Cup win, with Calvin Brackelmann making his Bundesliga debut in place of Keven Schlotterbeck. Augsburg took the lead on 18 minutes when Kade beat Timo Becker down the right and squared for Gregoritsch, who could not miss from close range.
Augsburg continued to push forward and eventually doubled their lead with 11 minutes remaining. Rieder won the ball and released Kade, who let fly from distance and found the bottom corner via the post to make it 2-0. Augsburg wrapped up the points in the second minute of stoppage time, with Ribeiro drilling home from a tight angle to complete the scoring.
