Neuer's mistake makes history...the fastest goal in the Bundesliga hits Bayern's net after only 8 seconds

Defending champion Bayern Munich conceded the fastest goal in the history of the Bundesliga today, Saturday (October 10, 2026). The goal came 8 seconds after the referee blew the starting whistle following a fatal passing error by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer against its host Augsburg in the fifth stage.

From the opening kick taken by Bayern players, Colombian striker Luis Dias returned the ball to Neuer, who controlled it with his right foot for a long time.

Under pressure from Robin Wielhauer, the 2014 world champion tried to deflect the ball with his right foot, but the Augsburg striker intercepted it and deposited it into Bayern's empty net just eight seconds after the start of the match.

Wielhauer scored the fastest goal in the history of the German League, one second ahead of the previous record of nine seconds, which was shared by Kevin Volland with Hoffenheim since August 2015 (also against Bayern), and Karim Bellarabi with Bayer Leverkusen since August 2014 (against Borussia Dortmund).

The League confirmed that the goal represented a new record, as it came within less than nine seconds after the start of the match.

Exciting draw

Bayern Munich, whose only defeat in the last 48 league matches was against Augsburg last January, raised the pace of play after the break, and had a goal disallowed for offside in the 51st minute before Ismail Saibari scored the equalizer four minutes later.

It was another mistake by Neuer that put Augsburg back in front in the 64th minute, as the 40-year-old goalkeeper blocked a shot from Calvin Brakelmann with his fist, but directed the ball towards Rodrigo Ribeiro, who pushed it into the net.

Bayern was back in the match again, when Harry Kane passed a ball that Nathaniel Brown took advantage of to score the equalizer ten minutes before the end of the match.
