Bayern Munich suffered a shocking defeat on January 14, 2026, marking the team’s first loss in the Bundesliga this season. The match took place at Augsburg’s home ground, where Bayern fell to the hosts 2-1, despite taking an early lead. The defeat is significant as it represents only the second loss for Bayern in the current season across all competitions.
The match began positively for Bayern when Hiroki Ito scored in the 23rd minute, giving the visitors a 1-0 advantage. However, the tide turned dramatically in the final 15 minutes of the match. Artur Chaves equalized for Augsburg in the 75th minute, setting the stage for a thrilling finish. Just six minutes later, An-Noa Masenzo clinched the victory for Augsburg with a decisive goal in the 81st minute.
Augsburg’s victory comes after a challenging period, having gone five matches without a win in the Bundesliga, which included three draws and two losses. This win not only boosts Augsburg’s confidence but also disrupts Bayern’s strong momentum.
Despite this setback, Bayern Munich remains firmly in first place in the Bundesliga standings. The team has a significant lead over its closest rival, Borussia Dortmund, who will face Union Berlin later in the day. Should Dortmund win, they would still find themselves eight points behind Bayern in the race for the title.
In other Bundesliga matches, Hoffenheim secured a 3-1 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, while Bayer Leverkusen defeated Werder Bremen 1-0. RB Leipzig triumphed over Heidenheim with a score of 3-0, and Mainz celebrated a 3-1 win against Wolfsburg.
