Augsburg crushed Bundesliga’s defending champions Bayern Munich 2-1 on Friday. Bayern Munich experienced their second loss of the Bundesliga season even when Robert Lewandowski scored his 14th goal in 12 league games. Germany midfielder Joshua Kimmich missed his Bundesliga match after testing positive for COVID-19.
Mads Pedersen and Andre Hahn scored one each for Augsburg to go 2-0 up against the champions until Lewandowski pulled one back but could not help the team to a win in the thick fog that shrouded the Augsburg Arena. Second, on the table, Borussia Dortmund would now be able to challenge Bayern's noteworthy lead when they face Stuttgart on Saturday. As the match went on, Lewandowski was denied once by a great save from Augsburg’s goalkeeper Gikiewicz and the side found their first win over Bayern since 2015.
