Bayern dominated possession at 64 per cent and registered 16 shots, but could only hit the target six times. Augsburg, in contrast, converted two of its seven shots on goal, demonstrating clinical finishing and defensive discipline. Questions now loom over Bayern’s squad, with key players Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry potentially sidelined due to illness.

The defeat ends Bayern’s unbeaten home record after 19 matches, yet the Bundesliga table still sees them atop with 56 points. RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim, and Bayer Leverkusen all secured important victories this weekend, narrowing the gap behind the league leaders. RB Leipzig beat Heidenheim 3-0, Hoffenheim overcame Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1, and Bayer Leverkusen edged Werder Bremen 1-0.

Augsburg’s victory lifts them to 13th place, a welcome boost in their fight to escape the relegation zone, while the bottom three, Heidenheim, FC St. Pauli, and Mainz, remain embroiled in the survival battle.

With Bayern tested and the chasing pack gaining momentum, the Bundesliga title race is far from over, promising a thrilling run-in for the season.
