Robin Fellhauer became the fastest goalscorer in Bundesliga history on Saturday, finding the net after just 8.4 seconds in Augsburg’s meeting with Bayern Munich. The midfielder broke the previous record jointly held by Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi, who had both scored after nine seconds.
The historic moment arrived immediately after kick-off. Bayern played the ball back to Manuel Neuer, but the veteran goalkeeper misjudged his first touch and lost control. Trying to recover the situation, Neuer’s attempted clearance struck Fellhauer and fell perfectly into his path. With the Bayern goal left unprotected, the Augsburg player raced forward and calmly converted, sending the home crowd into celebration and securing a remarkable place in German football history.
The error also renewed scrutiny on Neuer, whose recent seasons have featured several costly mistakes, including notable incidents against Real Madrid and Hoffenheim in major competitions.
