Bayern left sweating at the end: FCB edge narrow win in Augsburg | OneFootball

Bayern's Victory in the Top Match: On Saturday evening, Munich managed to beat Augsburg 3-2. With this win, FCB is back at the top of the table.

Second win in the second Bundesliga match! Bayern emerged victorious in the top match against FC Augsburg with a 3-2 win. The Munich side dominated the Fuggerstadt team for long stretches. In the end, Kompany's team made it unnecessarily exciting.

Vincent Kompany opted for the same eleven that had already played against RB Leipzig. Manuel Neuer made his customary return to goal. The back four consisted of Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, and Konrad Laimer. Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka played as the double six, while up front Luis Díaz, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane led the attack.

Confident Bayern Quickly on the Road to Victory

Bayern got off to an almost outstanding start. Less than a minute in, Michael Olise delivered a low cross from the right to the far post, where Luis Díaz missed a 100% chance from about three meters in front of an empty goal. Shortly after, Olise had a dangerous shot following a misplaced pass by Dahmen, but lacked power behind the shot.

The opening phase was quite spectacular. In the fourth minute, Marius Wolf cut inside and shot with his left, but narrowly missed the Munich goal.

But FC Bayern pressed for the opening goal and had more of the game. It was Serge Gnabry who put the German champions ahead in the 28th minute. Harry Kane delivered a perfect cross from the left half-space, where Gnabry, unmarked, was able to head it in. Shortly after, Gnabry set up Olise on a counterattack, who was brought down in the penalty area. However, the contact was not enough for a penalty.

Olise Increases Lead – FCA Close to Equalizing After Double Strike

Shortly before the break, Díaz finally got his reward. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, “Lucho” converted a low cross from Laimer from just a few meters out. Munich went into the dressing room with a 2-0 lead.

And even after the break, it was only FC Bayern dictating the game. In the 48th minute, Olise sprinted after a pass from Kane, left an Augsburg defender behind, and finished with his weaker right foot from about twelve meters out.

But the hosts responded out of nowhere. Robin Fellhauer’s cross found Kristijan Jakic, who volleyed in to make it 1-3 from Munich’s perspective (53rd minute). After that, Bayern seemed more alert again and dominated the match. Clear chances for a 4-1 were missing, but Augsburg hardly made it into the FCB half.

In the 71st minute, Kompany brought on Sacha Boey (for Laimer) and Aleksandar Pavlovic (for Goretzka). Then the game became exciting again. FCA reduced the deficit once more, making it 2-3. Mert Kömür scored with a low shot with the inside of his foot into the right corner from a half-left position (76th minute). Suddenly, Bayern were really under pressure and Augsburg pushed for the 3-3.

In stoppage time, there was a long interruption after a collision between Boey and Fellhauer. Boey received a yellow card for charging into Fellhauer and hitting him on the head. Fellhauer had to be carried off the pitch after lengthy treatment.

Kompany’s team showed a convincing performance up until the final phase and ultimately secured a deserved 3-2 victory. With this, FC Bayern is back at the top of the Bundesliga table. Next Saturday evening, another top match awaits. The Reds will then host Hamburger SV at the Allianz Arena (6:30 pm).
