A blunder at kickoff
Augsburg took the lead against Bayern Munich on Saturday after eight seconds, the fastest goal in Bundesliga history. Bayern played the kickoff back to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who misjudged a chipped clearance and let Robin Fellhauer through on goal. Blick reported that Neuer had played the ball too far ahead of himself before attempting the chip, which then failed completely. Reuters and watson put the time at eight seconds, Blick at 8.4 seconds and SAPO at five seconds, while the league confirmed the goal came in less than nine seconds of play. The previous record of nine seconds was shared by Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi.
Bayern fight back, then fall behind again
Ismael Saibari equalised in the 55th minute, and Rodrigo Ribeiro put Augsburg ahead again in the 64th. According to Blick, Calvin Brackelmann's shot was parried by Neuer and the rebound fell straight to Ribeiro. Luis Díaz had two goals ruled out for offside by VAR according to AP, and Blick also reports a disallowed effort by Harry Kane. Nathaniel Brown levelled late, in the 80th minute according to watson, Blick and Die Welt, or in the 81st according to AP. Serge Gnabry hit the post in the closing minutes, and Blick reported Bayern players repeatedly running into the Augsburg defence in the final minute. Vincent Kompany was seen gesticulating on the touchline during the first half as Bayern wasted chances.
