The Bavarian derby between Augsburg and Bayern Munich, played at the WWK Arena during the 5th day of the Bundesliga, will first be remembered for an improbable scene: Bayern conceded a goal from the start, after only eight seconds, on an error by Manuel Neuer. After a poorly controlled back pass, the Bavarian goalkeeper tried to lob Robin Fellhauer but hit the opposing player; the ball ended up in the empty goal, penetrating the net thanks to a lightning action. The Bundesliga confirmed it was the fastest goal in the league's history, beating the old record by nine seconds held by Karim Bellarabi and Kevin Volland. Bild specifies the exact time: 8.4 seconds.
Unusually, the last three goals conceded by Bayern in the first minute in the league were against Augsburg (the previous two dates back to February and October 2019, on a poor performance and a goal from Marco Richter). The Bavarian reaction was not long in coming: after the rapid opening of the score, the visitors intensified the pressure and multiplied the chances, without however finding the opening immediately. Opportunities followed one another - including a long shot from Michael Olise and a header from Harry Kane from a corner - but the host Bundesligist also knew how to respond with quick counterattacks, carried in particular by Arijon Ibrahimovic.
The second half saw several twists and turns. A goal from Luis Díaz on a volley at the start of the second half was initially refused by the VAR, which noted an offside by Josip Stanisic in the phase preceding the action. The score finally changed in the 55th minute: Joshua Kimmich served Harry Kane, who controlled perfectly before delivering an assist for Ismael Saibari, who finished with a precise gesture to equalize.

Ten minutes later, Augsburg regained the lead. On a shot from Calvin Brackelmann, Neuer pushed back but Rodrigo Ribeiro followed and made it 2-1 on the rebound. Bavarian coach Vincent Kompany then launched Serge Gnabry and Nathaniel Brown to revive his team. Several visitors' goals were not validated, either for offside - this is notably the case of a gesture completed by Gnabry after a pass from Kane - or for early offsides such as an action involving Alphonso Davies.
In the end, Kane still weighed on the end of the match: in the 80th minute, he served Nathaniel Brown, who deceived Finn Dahmen from close range to put the two teams level (2-2). Bayern came close to victory again when Díaz found Gnabry in the box, but the German striker's effort hit the post. The final minutes remained electric, with other situations called off for offside, and the score remained there.
This result allows Bayern to maintain its invincibility in the Bundesliga this season, but the club remains in second place with 11 points after five days, two lengths behind leader Dortmund and three points ahead of Augsburg. The Bavarians missed the chance to take the lead, with Dortmund conceding a 2-2 draw against Bremen on the same day.
The rest
After this draw against Augsburg, Bayern Munich will have to concentrate on their next matches to avoid further poor performances. Players like Harry Kane, who was involved in both equalizers, will need to continue to carry the team, while Neuer will need to work on his game management to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
