Augsburg Scores Fastest Bundesliga Goal Against Bayern

FC Bayern conceded the fastest goal in Bundesliga history after FC Augsburg scored in eight seconds during their match, according to Bild. The goal came after Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made an error during the opening kickoff sequence.

Bild reported that Augsburg took the lead after exactly 8.4 seconds. The previous record was shared by Kevin Volland in 2014 and Karim Bellarabi in 2015, with both goals scored after nine seconds.

The incident began when Bayern restarted play and passed the ball back to Neuer. The goalkeeper failed to control the ball cleanly, then sent it directly toward Fellhauer, who moved toward the empty goal and scored.

According to Bild, Neuer raised his arms and apologized to his teammates after the mistake. The goal added to Bayern's recent early defensive problems against Augsburg.

Bild noted that Bayern's last three goals conceded in the first minute all came against FC Augsburg. The previous instances occurred in February 2019 through an own goal by Leon Goretzka and in October 2019 through Marco Richter.
