BIELEFELD: Daniel Caligiuri scored early in the second half to lead Augsburg to a 1-0 win at Arminia Bielefeld in their Bundesliga relegation fight on Friday.
Caligiuri scored with Augsburg’s first shot on target in the 50th minute to lift his team provisionally three points above Hertha Berlin in the relegation playoff place, and a point above Bielefeld.
There was only one shot on target in the first half in Bielefeld with each team canceling the other amid tough tackles and mistakes.
The visitors emerged with more intent after the break and duly scored after forcing Bielefeld defender Cedric Brunner to lose the ball. Augsburg midfielder Ruben Vargas sent Brazilian defender Iago through to cross for Caligiuri to rifle in a shot at the far post.
