Bayern's last Bundesliga defeat came on 8 March 2025
Bayern Munich's 27-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga came to an abrupt end on Saturday as struggling Augsburg produced a shock victory at the Allianz Arena.
Japanese defender Hiroki Ito had headed Bayern in front midway through the first half, but goals from Arthur Chaves and Han-Noah Massengo inside the final 15 minutes turned the match in the visitors' favour.
Bayern suffering a first league defeat of the season looked unlikely when Ito headed in from a Michael Olise corner in the 23rd minute, giving the former Crystal Palace winger a league-leading 14th assist of the campaign.
However, Bayern looked unusually vulnerable in defence and were lucky that Robin Fellhauer's vicious strike in first-half injury-time hit the woodwork.
If that was a warning sign for Vincent Kompany's side, it wasn't heeded.
Minutes after Elvis Rexhbecaj blazed over when through on goal, Chaves beat Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig to a corner to head into an unguarded net.
Urbig started in place of the rested Manuel Neuer as one of four changes Kompany made to his side, but never really looked comfortable.
Having lost each of the eight matches in which they fell behind this season, here Augsburg turned things around when Massengo finished off a stunning team goal nine minutes from time to stun the defending champions.
Bayern pushed hard for an equaliser but Olise - who now has four goals and seven assists in his past five league outings - hit the crossbar from distance with the final kick of the match.
Harry Kane had a quiet afternoon and could not help Bayern score at least twice for what would have been a record-extending 27th Bundesliga game.
This surprise defeat means Bayern remain 11 points clear of closest challengers Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table, having played one game more.
Augsburg, who were winless in their previous five matches, move up to 13th in the standings, four points clear of the relegation play-off place.
