1, handing the Bavarians their first home loss in almost eleven months and breaking their 27‑match unbeaten streak..
The game started as expected. Bayern’s possession was overwhelming from the opening whistle, yet the early minutes yielded little threat in the opponents’ penalty area. Augsburg laid down a compact defense, trying to disrupt Bayern’s build‑up before creating their own chances. Bayern’s first shot on target came in the 5th minute when Claude‑Maurice nearly missed from a 21‑meter distance. Diaz sparked a dangerous attempt a few minutes later, but Zesiger’s block thwarted the effort.
The first significant opportunity arrived in the 23rd minute after a corner by Olise. Hiroki Ito headed home from close range to give Bayern a 1‑0 lead. They remained the superior side for the remainder of the first half but could not widen the advantage. Diaz had another chance from a tight angle to push the score to 2‑0, but Augsburger defender Dahmen deflected the ball (27th minute). Just before the break, the visitors almost added another goal: Fellhauer hit the post from ten meters after Massengo set him up with a sharp pass (45+4). Bayern went into the break ahead 1‑0.
In the second half, Augsburg noticeably sharpened their play, pressing Bayern defensively and playing more energetically. In the 57th minute, Kane received a Davies cross and had a header, but Chaves disrupted the ball, sparing Dahmen from clearing. Bayern tried to regain composure but struggled to find an outlet against the mounting pressure from the Augsburg side.
The equaliser came in the 75th minute through new signing Arthur Chaves. After a corner from Yannik Keitel, Chaves used his upper body to put the ball in the net, restoring the balance 1‑1. A few minutes later, in the 81st minute, Han‑Noah Massengo completed a double pass with Claude‑Maurice to seal the 2‑1 victory.
In the closing minutes Bayern cycled through several substitutions, bringing on Musiala, Kimmich, Davies, Bischof, Jackson and a second‑time inclusion of Chavez, while Ito, Goretzka, Karl and Kim all went off. Despite the changes, Bayern could not find another equaliser.
For Augsburg, the late two‑goal comeback against the undefeated league leader was a well‑deserved triumph, thanks to a marked improvement in the second half. While Bayern retained ball‑control, their offense proved insufficiently dangerous. The win gives Augsburg valuable points in the relegation fight, whereas Bayern suffer a minor setback in their march to secure the league title.
The defeat also sparked celebration in Leverkusen. With Bayer Leverkusen remaining unbeaten, the chanting “Bayer Leverkusen – ungeschlagen” echoed from the stands, a reminder that the Bayern are no longer invincible this season.
