Bayern Munich suffered its first Bundesliga defeat of the 2025-26 season in a stunning 2-1 home loss to Bavarian rivals Augsburg. Hiroki Ito's early header put Bayern ahead, but the visitors fought back with Arthur Chaves and Han-Noah Massengo scoring late to secure a shock victory at the Allianz Arena.

The result ends Bayern's long unbeaten league run, their first failure to earn a point since a March 2025 loss to Bochum. For Augsburg, it was a vital win, pulling them three points clear of the relegation zone and ending a winless streak that stretched back to early December.

Bayern's Michael Olise struck the crossbar with the final kick, summing up a frustrating afternoon for the league leaders. The defeat raises questions about Bayern's concentration against lower-table sides, while Augsburg's comeback highlights their fighting spirit in a crucial relegation battle.
