Bayern Munich see out late surge from Augsburg
Briefly

Bayern Munich faced off-pitch turmoil as a deal to sign Nicolas Jackson neared collapse while securing a tense 3-2 win over Augsburg. Vincent Kompany kept the same starting XI used against RB Leipzig, reflecting early-season balance. Bayern began strongly with an early chance missed by Luis Diaz and sustained pressure that produced Serge Gnabry's 27th-minute header. Michael Olise assisted before half-time and Luis Diaz scored to make it 2-0. Olise added a third after the break following Harry Kane's layoff. The match became eventful as defensive lapses allowed Augsburg to fight back, exposing weaknesses in Bayern's defense.
Bayern Munich endured a stressful Saturday off the pitch as the deal to sign Nicolas Jackson is close to collapsing. Things were not exactly straightforward for the team on the pitch as they made things difficult for them in a 3-2 win against Augsburg. Vincent Kompany fielded the same starting XI that played against RB Leipzig on matchday one of the Bundesliga. There is no need to tweak the team as it has looked balanced in the first month of the season.
Bayern started the game positively as they created a big chance in the first minute. Michael Olise played a delightful pass across the goal only for Luis Diaz to miss the chance. The Colombian couldn't sort out his feet quickly to bury the chance. The visitors piled on the pressure as they consistently created half-chances and also troubled Augsburg with their pressing.
