Debutant scores winner as Augsburg beats Borussia Moenchengladbach

It leapfrogged Moenchengladbach into 11th on the table.

A volley from Keven Schlotterbeck six minutes before halftime gave the home side the lead and Claude-Maurice scored eight minutes after coming on as a substitute to double the lead.

Tim Kleindienst’s powerful header in the 72nd pulled Moenchengladbach back into contention but the goals from Augsburg’s two recent signings proved enough.

Schlotterbeck’s rocket was the second goal in three games for the big center half who joined this summer from Freiburg.
