90 minFULL TIME: AUGSBURG 2-0 FRANKFURT

54 minGOAL! Augsburg 2-0 Frankfurt (Ji)

52 minInui gives the ball away and Augsburg break again through Ji, but his cross is dealt with by Zambrano, who wins a free kick. Molders then crosses for Ji, whose shot is again deflected behind by some desperate Zambrano defending. Surely it's just a matter of time?

50 minCHANCE! Ji drops into space outside the box and times a pass through to Molders, but his shot is blocked for a corner. The second half has started exactly how the first ended.

48 minBOOKING: That's the first Frankfurt player into the book as Celotti sees yellow for a late tackle. All well and fair that one.

47 minThere was a change at half time for the visitors. Matsour came on for Lakic, which means they have just one more change to make.

46 minMISS! Oh dear me. Augsburg just don't want to win this. Molders latches on to a defensive mistake to go one-on-one but somehow with time and space on his side he puts it past the post! Terrible finish.

45 minHere we go then for the second half.

5.31pmIt's difficult to say where Augsburg can improve, however. They've simply been unlucky. Certainly with the disallowed goal - Ji appears to have been penalised for a high boot when trying to control a bouncing ball in the box. It's particularly harsh as no defenders were trying to get their head on the ball.

5.27pmFrankfurt simply have to improve, there are no two ways about it. They certainly have the talent in their ranks but have been surprisingly sluggish today. Inui has probably been their most lively player but he needs support from his teammates.

5.23pmYou can be forgiven for thinking that Augsburg are the side actually pressing for European football with how dominant they've been. They've also been booked three times, however, a couple of which could probably have been let go if I'm being picky.

5.19pmWell, Augsburg lead but they really should be 3-0 up. A penalty miss and a very harshly disallowed Ji goal added to the Korean's opener mean that Augsburg go in just a goal to the good.

45+2 minHALF-TIME: Augsburg 1-0 Frankfurt

45+1 minIt's hard to see why, but it can only be for high boot from Ji as he controlled a high ball. That is incredibly harsh on Augsburg as Ji took the ball down fantastically and finished low.

45 minScrap that, it's been disallowed very late!

44 minGOAL! Augsburg 2-0 Frankfurt (Ji)

43 minCHANCE! Werner is free in the middle and takes a couple of touches to steady himself before Nikolov is also equal to his effort to tip it wide. Werner really should have scored that one.

42 minSAVE! Schwegler catches the free kick really well from the booking but Manninger has it covered as it curls wide of the post. The visitors are finally coming into this again, but Ostrzolek again breaks with strength and forces Nikolov into a save down low.

40 minBOOKING: It's the third card for Augsburg as Ragnar Klavan gave the ball away to Lakic before then hauling him down about 30 yards from goal.

38 minJi breaks; he has Molders to his right and Werner to his left but in the end cannot find either of them. That was a four on three at one point and they really need to start scoring these chances.

36 minSAVE! Molders hits a dropping ball from a free kick on the volley, but it can't get past the wall of Frankfurt players coming out to block it. The visitors break and Manninger is forced into a fine save down low after Inui cut in and shot.

34 minOstrzolek feels he should have another penalty! There's a tangle of legs with Zambrano but it looked to be 50-50 from where I'm sitting and this time it's no penalty. Ostrzolek is furious though.

32 minMISSED! It's all happening here! Paul Verhaegh is brought down in the box, possibly harshly. Up steps Callsen-Bracker who blazes it over the bar! Awful penalty and a huge chance goes begging.

30 minPENALTY TO AUGSBURG!

28 minIt's a little fortunate but no more than Augsburg deserve. Ji creates some space in the box from the angle and his drive across goal is deflected high past the helpless Nikolov for what could be a very big goal indeed!

27 minGOAL! Augsburg 1-0 Frankfurt (Ji)

26 minBOOKING: However, it's Augsburg picking up the cards as Daniel Beier is booked for hauling back Rode as Frenkfurt looked to break.

24 minThe home defence is looking very solid in the early stages; just what they need if they're to scrape themselves away from the bottom. Frankfurt are very aggressive in the tackle, as Alexander Meier brings down Molders.

22 minAugsburg lose the ball and Aigner looks to link up with Lakic, but the former goes down too easily and the ball is back with the hosts.

20 minStill Augsburg press. Can they get the goal that their play in the last 10 or so minutes deserves? Ji Dong-Won works space with a really nice flick but then slashes a volley over the bar. Superb skill.

18 minThat chance has made clear that Augsburg are now firmly in control. They come again through Andre Hahn down the right but his cross is a bit too deep and easy for Nikolov.

16 minOFF THE BAR! Moravek links up well with Molders, passing it out wide. The ball is cut back to Moravek who tries to sweep it in but sees it come back off the bar. So unlucky.

15 minNikolov tries a risky touch in his own box with Molders bearing down on him, but he seems to know what he's doing and comes away with the ball. Another Frankfurt foul gives the ball back to Augsburg and they come again from their own half.

12 minThe free kick is poor and easily cleared, so Frankfurt build again from the back. Augsburg are finally coming into this one with some patient probing, but both sides are going direct when in the opponent's half and as such keep losing the ball.

10 minIt's far from technically excellent this game. The major talking points have been scrappy fouls at the moment. Frankfurt, as I've said, have started stronger but here Augsburg have the chance from a free kick.

8 minStill Frankfurt are playing most of the football early on. It's probably to be expected, taking the league into account. However, by also taking the league into account I do expect Augsburg to start scrapping before long.

6 minAugsburg are finally able to settle and move the ball around at the back but it's a very high pressing game from the visitors and they're getting some early success.

4 minAlex Manninger furiously organises his wall but there was hardly a need as Pirmin Schwegler sends the free kick high and wide. Frankfurt have started this perhaps the better side.

2 minEarly booking for Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker, who gives away a foul just outside the box.

0 minIt's the hosts who get us underway.

4.30pmThe players are out and we're just about ready for kickoff.

4.27pmFRANKFURT XI: Nikolov; Jung, Zambrano, Anderson, Oczipka; Schwegler, Rode; Aigner, Meier, Inui; Lakic

4.25pmAUGSBURG XI: Manninger; Verhaegh, Callsen-Bracker, Klavan, Ostrzolek; Baier, Hahn; Moravek, Ji, Werner; Molders

4.23pmNot long until kickoff so I've just got time to bring you the team news.
