Bayern Munich missed the chance to take the lead in the Bundesliga after a 2-2 draw with Augsburg at the WWK Arena. The final score left the Bavarian club with four goals disallowed, while Borussia Dortmund remains at the top of the table with two points ahead. The match, which was played on Saturday 10 October at 15:30 CEST, was also memorable for the fastest goal in the history of the competition, scored after eight seconds by Augsburg midfielder Robin Fellhauer.
Fellhauer's goal came after a blatant error by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who failed to clear a ball that had been directed towards him by Luis Díaz. The play was so surprising that Neuer apologized to his teammates immediately after the score. The previous record for the fastest goal was held by Kevin Volland (nine seconds, Hoffenheim against Bayern in 2015) and Karim Bellarabi (nine seconds, Leverkusen against Dortmund in 2023).
Despite the early lead, Bayern managed to turn the score around. In the 50th minute, Luis Díaz had a scissors goal that was disqualified for offside, and in the 75th minute Ismael Saibari equalized with a shot from the right after an assist from Harry Kane, who was named the highest scorer of the match. Augsburg responded with a goal from Ribeiro, but Bayern tied again thanks to Nathaniel Brown, who sealed the 2‑2 in the final moments of the match.
Bayern, who had been at the top of the league, were affected by having four of their goals eliminated, leaving them in a lower position than Dortmund. The next step for the Bavarian club will be to seek recovery in its next games, while Augsburg will continue trying to consolidate its performance in the second half of the season.
