"Bayern Munich finally cracked and fell 2-1 to FC Augsburg at the Allianz Arena in a Bavarian derby that featured what looked to be a tired, flat, and uncharacteristic Bayern side on the afternoon. There's still a comfortable lead at the top of the Bundesliga table for Vincent Kompany's side, but the nature of loss is what will be most concerning, rather than just the loss itself."
"After Hiroki Itō's headed goal in the 23rd minute, Bayern had started to stamp their authority and control in the match, but lacked the killer instinct in the final third that they've so often shown throughout the season so far. Robin Fellhauer striking the crossbar right on the stroke of the halftime whistle set the tone for the second half that saw a spirited fightback from Augsburg, leading them to what was well and truly a deserved three points away from home."
"said that they need to just take this one on the chin and use the next match against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League and subsequent match against Hamburg SV to show the right reaction. "Today, we have to accept that completely. It's the manner in which it was done that bothers me most. There was a bit of a lack of hunger. I'm now looking forward to our response," Bayern's number 6 stressed ( Bild)."
Bayern Munich suffered a 2-1 home defeat to FC Augsburg, producing a tired and flat performance that lacked cutting edge in the final third. Hiroki Itō opened the scoring with a 23rd-minute header, and Bayern pushed for control but failed to convert chances, with Robin Fellhauer hitting the crossbar before halftime. Augsburg mounted a spirited second-half fightback, profiting from a headed goal by Arthur Chaves from a corner and a decisive strike by Han-Noah Massengo. Joshua Kimmich called for acceptance and a response in upcoming matches. Vincent Kompany still holds a comfortable Bundesliga lead and aims for positive momentum heading into the Champions League and league fixtures, with Dayot Upamecano likely to return soon.
