Robin Fellhauer capitalised on a costly mistake by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to score the fastest goal in Bundesliga history. Rodrigo Ribeiro later restored Augsburg’s lead, but Ismael Saibari and Nathaniel Brown scored for the visitors to ensure the points were shared.
The draw left Bayern with 11 points after five league matches, two behind leaders Borussia Dortmund, according to Reuters.
Fellhauer strikes after just eight seconds
Augsburg stunned the defending champions almost immediately after kick-off when Neuer took a heavy touch while attempting to play the ball out from the back.
Fellhauer pounced on the mistake, raced past the stranded goalkeeper and finished into the unguarded net after just 8.37 seconds.
The strike established a new Bundesliga record, beating the previous mark of nine seconds jointly held by Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi.
The early breakthrough gave Augsburg confidence, while Bayern were forced to chase the game from the opening moments.
Saibari brings Bayern level
Bayern increased the pressure after the interval as they searched for an equaliser. Luis Díaz appeared to have scored in the 51st minute, but the effort was ruled out for offside following a VAR review.
The visitors eventually drew level in the 55th minute. Harry Kane supplied a pass into the middle for Saibari, who controlled the ball and finished confidently to make it 1–1.
Bayern continued to threaten, with Kane also striking the woodwork during the contest, but Augsburg remained dangerous on the counter-attack.
Ribeiro punishes another Neuer error
Augsburg regained the lead in the 64th minute through Ribeiro, once again exposing Bayern’s defensive vulnerability.
Defender Calvin Brackelmann advanced and unleashed a left-footed shot. Neuer made the initial save, but the rebound fell invitingly for Ribeiro, who reacted quickly to score and restore the hosts’ advantage at 2–1.
The goal put Augsburg in position to claim another notable result against their Bavarian rivals, but Bayern refused to surrender.
Brown completes Bayern’s comeback
Bayern’s persistence paid off in the 80th minute when Kane delivered a low ball across the penalty area for Brown, who finished from close range to level the score at 2–2.
The visitors pressed for a winner in the closing stages. Serge Gnabry struck the post, while another late Bayern effort was ruled out for offside after a VAR check.
Despite their late pressure, Bayern could not find a decisive third goal, leaving both sides to settle for a point.
Bayern drop points despite late pressure
The draw represented a missed opportunity for Bayern to strengthen their position at the top of the table, particularly after dominating periods of the match and creating several scoring chances.
Augsburg, meanwhile, will take encouragement from their attacking threat and determination to trouble the champions. Fellhauer’s record-breaking opener will be remembered as the defining moment of a match that produced four goals and several dramatic VAR interventions.
Bayern must now regroup after being held to their second league draw of the season, while Augsburg can take confidence from pushing the defending champions to the limit.
