Lucien Favre Laments Defensive 'Mistakes' as Dortmund are Shockingly Beaten by Lowly Augsburg

Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre was understandably displeased with his side after they suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to lowly Augsburg on Friday night, offering Bayern Munich the chance to draw level with the league leaders on Saturday.

The defeat to 15th place Augsburg was only Dortmund's second in the Bundesliga this term and, despite seeing plenty of the ball, they rarely carved out many clear cut chances. As a result, Die Borussen's under-par performance has seen Favre's side accumulate only six points from their last five league outings.

Paco Alcacer grabbed a consolation for the visitors but Dortmund were undone by Ji Dong-won's double, which included a truly spectacular second, however were unable to find an equaliser.
