January 24, (THEWILL) — Bayern Munich suffered their first Bundesliga defeat in 10 months after falling 2-1 to Augsburg at Allianz Arena.
Vincent Kompany’s side dominated early proceedings but surrendered their advantage in a lacklustre second-half display.
Hiroki Ito gave the hosts the lead in the 23rd minute, heading home from Michael Olise’s inswinging corner at the far post.
Luis Diaz and Lennart Karl missed good opportunities to extend the margin, while Robin Fellhauer struck the post for the visitors just before the break.
Augsburg levelled in the 75th minute when goalkeeper Jonas Urbig misjudged Mert Komur’s corner, leaving Arthur Chaves with a simple header into an empty net.
Han-Noah Massengo completed the comeback six minutes later, converting from close range after Dimitrios Giannoulis set him up.
Olise nearly salvaged a draw with the final touch of the match, but his curling effort from distance rattled the crossbar.
The defeat ended Bayern’s unbeaten league run stretching back to March last year.
The result marks a rare setback for Kompany’s team, who failed to maintain their tempo after the interval and paid for their inability to capitalise on first-half dominance.
