Augsburg 2-2 RB Leipzig: Hinteregger frustrates title candidates

Martin Hinteregger's second-half equaliser saw stunned Ralph Hasenhuttl's side, who failed to considerably close down Bayern Munich

RB Leipzig dropped two important points in the race for the Bundesliga title on Friday as Martin Hinteregger's effort meant they had to settle for a 2-2 draw with Augsburg at WWK Arena.

Victory would have seen Ralph Hasenhuttl's men close the gap to leaders Bayern Munich to two points ahead of the reigning champions' game against Koln on Saturday, but Hinteregger stopped them coming out on top in an entertaining encounter.

Augsburg went a goal up in the 19th minute through Konstantinos Stafylidis, who beat goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi with a fine shot into the top-right corner to open the scoring.
