Substitute Kosta Nedeljkovic headed against the crossbar for Leipzig in stoppage time after earlier chances from Lukas Klostermann in the 47th and Lutsharel Geertruida early on.

Frank Onyeka came closest for the hosts in the 81st minute in a match of few chances.

Leipzig are fourth with just one win from their last six league matches, putting pressure on coach Marco Rose.

They can be overtaken by VfB Stuttgart if they beat Wolfsburg on Saturday. Augsburg are unbeaten in six matches and 12th.

"It was difficult. We weren't dangerous enough and it is a deserved draw in the end," Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi told streaming portal DAZN.

"We did well at the back, but we must find this lightness up front and then we will score goals again."

Matchday 22 continues on the weekend and is highlighted by a table topper on Saturday between champions Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, who are eight points ahead of them at the top.
