Augsburg responded almost immediately. Just three minutes later, Dimitris Giannoulis produced the assist for Rieder, who levelled the scores in the 15th minute to make it 1–1 and swing the early momentum back toward the visitors.

After the interval, the game turned cagey. Jarell Quansah picked up a yellow card for Leverkusen in the 48th minute, before Rieder himself was booked four minutes later for Augsburg. Aleix García was also cautioned for the home side in the 86th minute as tensions rose in the closing stages.

Both coaches turned to their benches in the second half. Augsburg introduced Elvis Rexhbecaj on the hour and later brought on Uchenna Ogundu, Marius Wolf and Mert Kömür. Leverkusen responded with attacking changes of their own, sending on Montrell Culbreath, Christian Kofane, Jonas Hofmann and Malik Tillman in search of a winner, but without success.

The decisive moment arrived deep into stoppage time. In the 90th minute plus seven, Augsburg were awarded a penalty, and Rieder held his nerve from the spot to complete his brace and flip the game on its head, securing a crucial 2–1 victory.
