The Bundesliga champions’ winless run stretches to four Bundesliga games as Berisha’s 59th minute was enough to secure them the win. Augsburg goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz was the hero of the day due to a series of saves.
Bayern Munich's Bundesliga woes continued as the
Bundesliga's record champions suffered their first defeat in the league this
season.
Augsburg were far from showing Bayern any respect after
their home win against Barcelona in the Champions League. The home side made
seven shots on goal in the first half, more than double of Bayern's tally.
On their side, Bayern failed to convert chances by Sadio
Mane and Leroy Sane.
In the 59th minute, an Augsburg long ball hit Iago inside
the box and found striker Mergim Berisha, who easily converted. A surprising
1-0 to the home side.
Bayern tried to get the equalizer until the end through
several chances, including a Manuel Neuer header at extra time, but to no
avail. Augsburg keeper Rafal Gikiewicz's good performance, including an
incredible save in stoppage time, prevented Bayern from scoring the equalizer.
The away game at Augsburg is Bayern Munich's fourth
Bundesliga game without a win on the bounce, their longest winless run since
under Giovanni Trappatoni in the late 1990s, and its first defeat of the
season, which drops them to fourth place.
"We're stunned," said Bayern attack Thomas Müller
after the game. The club's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said he was
"uneasy" after the game.
"The way we played today, you can't win games in the
Bundesliga."
