Bayern Munich 1-0 Augsburg

Goal: Lewandowski (82^andSP) for Bayern

Bayern Munich had to scramble into the Allianz Arena on Saturday afternoon to beat a solid Augsburg squad (1-0).

In a complicated dynamic, the people of Munich were not reassured at the end of an initial period that was far from exciting. Troubled by a low-block FCA, Julian Nagelsmann’s men only slowed down Ruben Vargas’ counterattacks. For example, for 45 uneventful minutes, no shot on target was seen, like a rarely called up Robert Lewandowski.

The Pole, disgruntled, came to set things right as soon as he came back from the dressing room. Found by Benjamin Pavard, the striker did indeed get up to hit his ball with his head, stopped with a firm hand by his compatriot Rafał Gikiewicz (47^and† On the other side, it was Andi Zeqiri, who had barely entered the game, who distinguished himself with a cross and captured by Manuel Neuer (62^and† Before being imitated by Joshua Kimmich, checked on the horizontal of Gikiewicz (63^and† It was finally necessary to wait for the last moments to see the situation settle. Lewandowski’s helmet shot, diverted from the hand by Reece Oxford, did indeed provide the championship’s top scorer (32 goals) with a logical and brilliantly transformed penalty (1-0, 82^and†† The artificer was then robbed of the double, the result of a tackle on his line by Niklas Dorsch (90^and+1).

In the standings, Bayern (67 points) therefore continues their race to a tenth consecutive crown (nine units ahead of Borussia Dortmund). Despite the defeat, Augsburg clings to fourteenth place. A scenario made possible by the defeats of Greuther Fürth against Mönchengladbach (2-0) and Arminia in Wolfsburg (4-0).

We also note Cologne’s stunning success at home against Mainz (3-2).
