For modest Augsburg, the arrival of regional rival Bayern Munich is the match of the year and that was also apparent on the field, as the home team started the game sharply. The best chances before half-time were for Augsburg, although Bayern did grow slowly in the match.
After the break Augsburg had a more difficult time, but still managed to score. Berisha trumped the Bayern defense after a free kick.
With the 1-0 on the board, the visitors had to come. That did not provide many opportunities, although Bayern were still close to the equalizer in extra time. Augsburg goalkeeper Gikiewicz made an excellent save on a header from his colleague Neuer, who had advanced on a corner.
Bayern lose for the second season in a row on the Augsburg field. For the reigning champion it was also the 1st defeat of the season.
It was also the 1st time in 20 years that Bayern failed to win in 4 consecutive games. Moreover, it was also since 2014 that Bayern could not score in a league match.
