Meanwhile, all the Augsburg players somehow let out a big sigh of relief, finding themselves managing to escape from disaster by a miracle here. They all knew that if the ball got into the back of the net, they would never be able to recover for the rest of the game.
After all, two goals might still be possible even though it was difficult, but three goals? Against a team whose defense was still at its best performance? No, that would be too much to hope.
Now that the storm was finally over, it was their time to launch a counter here. However, the Blitzkrieg attack from Schalke earlier was a little bit too much to handle, so somehow, Augsburg players slowed down the tempo unconsciously, wanting to have a little bit more time to take a deep breath.
Not that Schalke players would mind, of course. They just launched the Blitzkrieg attack to test their luck and want to make the opponent wary of them, but truthfully, their approach in this second half was simple.
