Mid-term conclusion:
In a spectacular game between FC Augsburg and FC Bayern only the goals are missing at the break! The Fuggerstadt team acted very bravely, kept putting Bayern under pressure very early on and were robust in duels. They caused the record champions some problems and came up with really good opportunities themselves. The guests actually seem a little surprised by FCA’s approach. Nevertheless, thanks to their high individual class, they also created some great chances. Since the opportunities were not used on both sides, the 0-0 is perfectly fine. If the Augsburgers can build on the performance shown in the second half, then there is actually something countable here. See you soon!

Upamecano cleverly plays the ball from the right to Müller on the left in front of the penalty area. The 33-year-old quickly forwards to Musiala, who is taking off, and he lifts the ball past Gikiewicz in the direction of the goal. Goretzka even runs in just before the line, but Bauer is wide awake and clears before the eighth. There’s even a free-kick for the hosts as Goretzka catches the defender open-footed on the breakaway.

16:13
Kimmich chips a free kick from the right half-field high in front. Mané already seems to get the ball completely free, but at the very last moment Gouweleeuw artistically clears with an overhead kick.
39
16:12
This must be the FCA leadership! The subsequent free kick from just inside the Munich half initially remains harmless. At the second attempt, Demirović served Iago on the left in the box and the Brazilian brought the ball up to the five, soft as butter. Bauer is completely free there and actually heads the thing just over it from a short distance.
38
16:07
Yellow card for Sadio Mané (Bayern Munich)
Mané bounces the ball just inside his own half. However, the 30-year-old immediately follows and tackles Niederlechner. The referee immediately pulls out the yellow card and counts Mané’s number of fouls. The warning is there because of the quantity of his offenses.
36
16:07
Goretzka has some space in midfield, drives and plays the ball cleverly high behind the last chain into Mané’s run. Gikiewicz is again on the post and shoots the ball out from far behind.
33
16:04
Davies plays Müller centrally on the edge of the penalty area. The veteran has the presence of mind to clap directly into Musiala’s barrel. The youngster finishes from the left in the box from an acute angle. However, he does not catch the ball optimally and in the end it hops a good way past the long corner.
31
16:01
Yellow card for Mergim Berisha (FC Augsburg)
Kimmich plays a diagonal pass from the center circle to the right. Berisha comes running from behind and rams the six away, even though the ball is already gone. That’s why it’s yellow.
30
16:01
Mazraoui initially had to leave the field, supported by the coaches. After further treatment off the pitch, luckily he can continue. To be on the safe side, Stanišić and Pavard still warm up.
28
16:00
Noussair Mazraoui is down after a hard crash and needs treatment.
26
15:59
The home side again! After an FCA free-kick from the right half-field, Bayern just can’t get the ball away and it finally jumps straight to Gouweleeuw. However, the Dutchman chases the thing surprisingly far over it from about nine meters.
25
15:57
Upamecano, who showed a sensational performance against Barcelona, puts an FCA cross right at Niederlechner’s feet. The 31-year-old doesn’t hesitate for a second from a central 22 meters and takes a powerful shot straight away. From his point of view, Neuer jumps into the right corner, pulls his fists up and parries strongly.
23
15:53
Sadio Mané starts a counterattack on the right after an FCA corner. He has plenty of space. However, Africa’s footballer of the year puts the ball too far in front and Iago is in between.
20
15:52
The encounter is really worth seeing and very entertaining. This is mainly due to the Augsburgers, who follow through with their courageous style of play and thus create chances for both sides.

3:50 p.m
Gikiewicz prevents the deficit! Augsburg continues to attack far ahead. This time Bayern can free themselves with a long ball to Goretzka and suddenly the guests have a lot of space because they also win the second ball. Müller drives over half right, is followed by Sané and serves his teammate at exactly the right moment. The 26-year-old chooses the flat finish from an acute angle and tries the tunnel against the goalkeeper. Gikiewicz is down very quickly and makes a strong save.
14
15:46
Sadio Mané is sent perfectly behind the back row by Noussair Mazraoui and tries to put the ball past Rafał Gikiewicz, who has rushed wide to the right. However, this does not succeed by a hair’s breadth. The Polish keeper caught the ball almost directly on the sixteen line with his left foot and then buried the ball under himself.
12.
15:44
Niederlechner with the first really good opportunity! After a long ball from the FCA half, Niederlechner asserted himself robustly against de Ligt and was suddenly free on the right in the sixteen. There the ball ticks up again and the striker completes with a side pull. The attempt even becomes a bounce and flies directly into the arms of Neuer with an arc lamp, who grabs it safely.

15:40
Leon Goretzka is celebrating his 100th Bundesliga appearance in an FCB shirt at Bayern today. In addition, Manuel Neuer is playing his 473rd league game. The 36-year-old draws level with Sepp Maier.
7.
15:38
The Fuggerstädter are right at the front and force de Ligt to pass back to Neuer. The FCB keeper is immediately approached by Berisha and only gets rid of the ball at the very last moment.
4.
15:35
Kimmich and Sané are in the middle, more than 30 meters from the goal, ready for a free kick. In the end, Kimmich executes, but cannot find a buyer. Gikiewicz easily picks the inaccurate cross from the air.
2.
15:33
The home side start very bravely and after a little confusion in front of the FCB penalty area they get the first goal. Niederlechner’s attempt from a half-right position in the penalty area is blocked by de Ligt.

15:32
Here we go! FC Augsburg toasts and plays in the usual red and white in the first sold-out home game of the season. FC Bayern acts in the dark Champions League jerseys.
15:19
The direct comparison speaks crystal clear for FC Bayern. They were able to win 17 of 22 matches in the top German division. There were also two points shared and Augsburg was only victorious three times. It is particularly striking that the FCA victories were all achieved under the leadership of Markus Weinzierl.
15:11
After the 2-0 win against FC Barcelona, Julian Nagelsmann changed the staff three times. Matthijs de Ligt starts for the injured Lucas Hernández. In addition, Leon Goretzka and Noussair Mazraoui are rewarded for their strong performances after coming on in the premier class and replace Benjamin Pavard and Marcel Sabitzer.
15:09
Enrico Maassen chooses the offensive approach again today and refrains from returning to the back five. Instead, he sends the same starting XI onto the pitch that recently won against Bremen.
14:51
FC Bayern Munich has not yet lost a competitive game this season and caused a sensation with 2-0 wins in the Champions League against Inter Milan and FC Barcelona. In the league, however, the record champions are experiencing a small earnings crisis. FCB have not managed to draw three times in a row and are currently only third. Today, at the start of the Oktoberfest, a threesome is supposed to happen again, in the best case scenario, to say goodbye to the table lead in the international break.
14:41
Last Friday, FC Augsburg clinched their second win and kept a clean sheet for the first time in the league. Demirović scored the golden goal in the 1-0 win against Werder Bremen. However, they also managed the second three of the season abroad. The record from the previous three home games is miserable with three defeats and a goal difference of 1:8. In general, it is the first time that FCA have lost all of their first three games at home in the Bundesliga. They now want to cause a little surprise against Munich and finally get something countable in front of their own fans.
14:29
Hello and welcome to the seventh match day of the Bundesliga. FC Augsburg welcomes FC Bayern Munich. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. in the WWK Arena.
