Before this round, Bayern showed overwhelming form with 16 wins and 2 draws after 18 rounds, scoring 71 goals and owning a goal difference of +57, the best starting record in Bundesliga history. However, against a disciplined and determined Augsburg, the Bavarian team could not maintain an impressive streak.
Bayern entered the game proactively and completely controlled the game in the first half. In the 23rd minute, from Michael Olise's corner kick on the right wing, defender Hiroki Ito jumped high to head accurately, opening the score for the home team. This is also the first goal of the Japanese player in the Bundesliga this season.
Stepping into the second half, Augsburg gradually improved the game and took good advantage of the opponent's mistakes. In the 75th minute, from a corner kick situation, goalkeeper Jonas Urbig rushed out indecisively, creating an opportunity for Arthur Chaves to head the ball back to the starting line.
Just 6 minutes later, the away team completed the comeback. Dimitris Giannoulis escaped on the left wing before crossing inside, for Han-Noah Massengo to rush in and finish with one touch, sealing a 2-1 victory for Augsburg.
This is Bayern's first defeat in the Bundesliga in nearly 10 months, since the defeat to Bochum in March 2025. Notably, Augsburg was once a rare team to defeat Bayern right at the Allianz Arena, thereby repeatedly ending the impressive streaks of the "Bayern".
In Augsburg's victory, Massengo was the most prominent name. In addition to the decisive goal, the French midfielder also won many tackles, operated persistently and played an important role in the away team's rapid switching situations. This performance helped Massengo be voted Player of the Match.
After the stumble in the Bundesliga, Bayern will quickly focus on the European arena. On January 28, coach Vincent Kompany's team will play away at PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, with the goal of winning at least one point to ensure a favorable position before the knockout round.
