Bayern Munich Stunned at Allianz Arena as Augsburg Snatch Shock 2–1 Comeback Victory

Bayern Munich’s unbeaten Bundesliga run came to an unexpected end on Saturday, January 24, 2026, as they suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat at home to FC Augsburg at the Allianz Arena in Munich. This loss — Bayern’s first in the German top flight this season — has sent shockwaves through the German football world and raised fresh questions about the Bundesliga leaders’ consistency ahead of crucial European fixtures. 

From the first whistle, Bayern appeared in control. They dominated possession and looked poised to extend their lead at the top of the table. The hosts took the lead in the 23rd minute when defender Hiroki Ito rose highest to head in a well-placed corner, giving Bayern the advantage midway through the first half. The goal was the product of intense pressure from Bayern, who were firing repeated crosses and testing Augsburg’s defence early. 

Despite taking the lead, Bayern struggled to find a second goal that would have put the match firmly out of reach. Augsburg, traditional underdogs in Bavaria, remained disciplined and dangerous on the break. Their resilience paid off after the interval as they gradually grew into the game and began to exploit gaps left by Bayern’s high-line defence. 

The comeback began in the 75th minute when Arthur Chaves scored with a glancing header that beat Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, restoring parity. Less than six minutes later, Augsburg stunned the Allianz Arena crowd when Han-Noah Massengo followed up with a close-range finish to put the visitors ahead. The comeback was completed in dramatic fashion against the run of play, leaving Bayern’s players and fans in disbelief. 

Bayern had late opportunities to salvage a point — including a stoppage-time shot by Michael Olise that cannoned off the crossbar — but they were ultimately unable to break through. That miss summed up Bayern’s night: dominance in play but inefficiency in execution when it mattered most. 

The defeat also ended Bayern’s 27-match unbeaten streak in league play, a run dating back to early March of last year. Although they remain well clear at the top of the Bundesliga — still some 11 points ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund — this result will be remembered as a rare slip in a season where Bayern have looked strong and consistent overall.
