Bayern Munich conceded the fastest goal in Bundesliga history during a 2-2 draw against Augsburg on October 11, 2026, after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer gifted the opening score just eight seconds into the match. Augsburg forward Robin Fellhauer pounced on a loose pass from Neuer straight from the opening kickoff and slotted the ball into an empty net, according to ESPN. The record surpassed the previous mark of nine seconds jointly held by Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi.
The match began with Luis Díaz kicking off before the ball was worked back toward Neuer near the center circle. Neuer took a touch and attempted to lift a clearance over an oncoming player, but Fellhauer intercepted the pass and converted the chance. ESPN reported that Neuer acknowledged his role in the play immediately after the final whistle.
The first goal we conceded was a silly mistake by me. But I still had hope, because it was the first minute. The chance we could still turn the game around is big. I think we had the chances but just didn’t take them.

Bayern sporting director Christoph Eberl criticized the passage of play, telling Sky Sports that the veteran goalkeeper attempted an overly risky solution. Bavarian Football Works reported that Eberl noted the team made life difficult for themselves with a series of mistakes.
He made a mistake, took the ball poorly, then he wanted to solve it and solved it too riskily.

Disallowed Goals and Second-Half Comeback
Bayern fought back through Ismael Saibari, who equalized in the 55th minute before Rodrigo Ribeiro restored Augsburg’s lead nine minutes later. Luis Díaz had two separate goals ruled out by VAR for offside during the fixture. Bavarian Football Works noted that former Bundesliga referee Patrick Ittrich stated on Sky Germany that Díaz’s initial disallowed strike should have counted because the preceding offside situation had ended cleanly when an Augsburg player cleared the ball unchallenged.
There was an offside situation, and then the player essentially cleared the ball completely unchallenged. That means the situation was over, and then there was a new situation. That’s a classic next play situation, and therefore the goal should have stood in my opinion. I think it’s a very, very controversial decision.

Substitute Nathaniel Brown ultimately secured a point for the visitors by equalizing in the 81st minute. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany reflected on the chaotic nature of the fixture in his post-match comments covered by ESPN.
It was an emotional rollercoaster. We had the ball in the net six times, but four didn’t count. We had chances. Obviously we made mistakes with the two goals we conceded, which is why it finished with this result. That’s how it is in football. They’re normal people who don’t always do everything right. It hurts at the moment, but we move on.
