The one team that could challenge Bayern in Germany took a huge blow with the departure of one of their key players.

Dani Olmo pushed in the first goal followed by Christopher Nkunku who pushed in the second and Yussuf Poulsen also netted by the time the first half ended. Augsburg failed to add to Daniel Caligiuri's penalty and force a draw.
