Augsburg midfielder Robin Fellhauer set a new Bundesliga record by scoring the fastest goal in the league's history, finding the back of the net in under nine seconds after a mistake by Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The goal came early in the match between the two German clubs, with Fellhauer capitalising on a mis‑pass from Neuer that slipped past the Bayern defence. The rapid strike was the quickest ever recorded in the Bundesliga, a competition that has been the top tier of German football since 1963.
Augsburg, a club that competes in the Bundesliga, faced Bayern Munich, one of the most successful teams in German football history. The match was played at the Allianz Arena, Bayern’s home ground.
Fellhauer’s record‑breaking goal highlighted a rare early advantage for Augsburg, who have struggled to secure points against Bayern in recent encounters. The swift strike was a moment of surprise for the Bayern squad and its supporters.
While the record stands for the fastest goal, the match’s outcome will still be decided by the teams’ performances over the full 90 minutes. The Bundesliga season continues to feature intense competition among Germany’s top clubs.
