Augsburg scores after eight seconds as Bayern Munich rally to 2-2 draw
Robin Fellhauer's eight‑second strike set a new Bundesliga record, but Bayern Munich equalised twice to share points with Augsburg.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Robin Fellhauer gave Augsburg an eight‑second lead against Bayern Munich on Saturday, the fastest goal in Bundesliga history, before Bayern rallied to finish the match 2-2, according to the Guardian and the Associated Press.
What happened
The match in Augsburg began with a mishap by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who attempted to clear the ball but inadvertently set it up for Fellhauer, who scored after eight seconds from kickoff. Bayern equalised after the break through Ismael Saibari. A second Neuer error in the 64th minute allowed Rodrigo Ribeiro to push the ball over the line, restoring Augsburg’s lead. Bayern responded ten minutes from time when Harry Kane’s cut‑back found Nathaniel Brown, who tapped in the equaliser.
What the reports add
The Guardian noted that Fellhauer’s goal beat the previous record held jointly by Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi by one second. It also detailed that Bayern’s only league defeat in their previous 48 matches had been at the hands of Augsburg in January. The Associated Press confirmed the eight‑second timing and cited Opta as the statistics provider for the record.
What was said
The Guardian reported that "Neuer’s blunder" directly led to the record goal, while the AP quoted match officials as confirming the timing as the fastest in the league’s history.
How it came about
Earlier in the season Bayern’s attacking firepower was highlighted in Felo’s coverage of Harry Kane’s record‑breaking 100th Bundesliga goal (Harry Kane sets record for fastest to 100 Bundesliga goals). The team’s recent dominance set expectations for a win, but the early mistake forced a comeback.
