Something is rotten in the state of Germany: Bayern can’t buy a win

FC Augsburg produced the biggest shock of the day with a 1-0 victory over the reigning champions Bayern on Saturday evening. A second-half strike from Margin Berisha gave Augsburg the bragging rights in what’s a regional derby in Germany’s most prosperous region of Bavaria. What a shock!It was a crazy day for football as Augsburg goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz had to produce two breathtaking stops late on to deny two goal-bound headers from his counterpart, Manuel Neuer. But it’s as if it was written in the stars that Bayern had to lose today.Just a couple of months ago, you could claim that Bayern would win their eleventh Bundesliga title without dropping a single point in the process – and nobody would look at you as if you’ve just landed from another planet. But if you told your friends that the team featuring Josua Kimmich, Sadio Mane, Manuel Neuer, Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane would go four matches without a win in the German top flight, you’d probably be laughed at. But here we are!A combative display from Enrico Maassen’s side ensured a famous victory over the team that beat Barcelona just a few days earlier.Of course, you don’t just outplay Bayern – you need a fair bit of luck to get the best of them. The champions have had nearly 80% of ball possession today, missed four glorious chances and, of course, conceded entirely against the run of play to put more question marks over coach Julian Nagelsmann and his squad.Augsburg players enjoyed their role of the underdog on the day and thrived in it as the match went on. In the end, their heroic defending kept them a clean sheet and gave them an extraordinary feat to celebrate.Bayern is the biggest, most successful, richest, strongest, best-supported club in Germany and one of the strongest globally. But they are in trouble now.BUNDESLIGA – ROUND 7FridayMainz – Hertha 1-1 (0-1)/Caci 90+4 – Tousart 30/SaturdayAugsburg – Bayern 1-0 (0-0)/Berisha 59/Bayer Leverkusen – Werder Bremen 1-0 (0-0)/Demirbay 57 – Veljkovic 82/Borussia Dortmund – Schalke 1-0 (0-0)/Mokouko 79/Stuttgart – Eintracht 1-3 (0-1)/Tomas 79 – Rode 6, Kamada 55, Jakic 88/19.30: (2.95) M’ gladbach (3.50) RB Leipzig (2.55)Sunday16:30: (2.05) Union Berlin (3.50) Wolfsburg (3.90)18:30: (3.35) Bochum (3.50) Koln (2.25)20:30: (2.30) Hoffenheim (3.50) Freiburg (3.25)***odds are subject to change***
