Bayern failed to cash in on Dortmund’s stumble, drawing 2‑2 as Augsburg’s Robin Fellhauer opened the scoring in under nine seconds, with Ismael Saibari later equalising and goals from Rodrigo Ribeiro and Nathaniel Brown sealing the drama.

After Dortmund’s 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen, Bayern were keen to move to the top of the table, with Vincent Kompany opting for just one change from the side that thrashed Union Berlin before the international break. Saibari replaced Jamal Musiala, who had picked up an injury whilst on international duty with Germany.
Augsburg, meanwhile, made four changes from their last game, with Juma Bah making his club debut and Youngwoo Seol his first Bundesliga start.

Record‑breaking start
Augsburg could hardly have imagined a better start; Bayern’s kickoff saw Neuer attempt a cheeky dink, missed, and Fellhauer sprinted past to set a new league record.
The Bavarians answered with sustained pressure, Kane and Olise creating chances, yet the Augsburg backline stayed compact.
A chaotic scramble in the box saw Bayern’s Bah fire wide from close range, then Kane clanged the crossbar from Pavlović’s delivery as the half closed with Augsburg leading.
Brown finally broke the deadlock for Bayern after earlier attempts were chalked off for off‑side – a reminder that Bayern’s finishing has been sloppy today. For my money, they needed sharper instincts. – Alexander Hassenstein
Momentum swings both ways
After the break Bayern pressed, and Kane threaded a pass to Saibari, who levelled in the 55th minute following a disallowed Díaz strike.
Augsburg responded instantly; Brackelmann’s low shot was saved by Neuer, only for Ribeiro to tap home the equaliser in the 64th minute.
Bayern saw two more goals ruled out for off‑side before Brown finally capitalised, slotting home from close range in the 80th after a Kane‑Pavlović combination down the left.
Gnabry smashed a shot onto the post, while Finn Dahmen produced another save as the match concluded level. Can Bayern turn these near‑misses into victories next week?
