Neuer Error Gifts Augsburg Goal Five Seconds Into Bayern Match

In Augsburg, Bayern Munich were barely into their Bundesliga afternoon when Manuel Neuer endured a startling error, conceding after only five seconds against Augsburg.

A five-second setback

  1. Augsburg’s Saibari sent the ball directly towards Neuer from the restart.
  2. The Bayern goalkeeper miscontrolled it before trying to lift a pass towards Alphonso Davies.
  3. His attempted delivery struck Fellhauer, who took possession and carried the ball forward.
  4. With Neuer out of position, Fellhauer rolled the ball into an unguarded net to give Augsburg an immediate lead.

The mistake was an unusual moment for Neuer, one of European football’s most decorated goalkeepers, and it gave Augsburg a dramatic opening in the Bavarian derby.

Bundesliga pressure on Bayern

Bayern began the 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign in second place on 10 points, three behind leaders Borussia Dortmund. A comeback in Augsburg would take Munich above Dortmund and into first place.
