- The hosts started strong, but Bayern gained control after Aleksandar Pavlovic and Alphonso Davies secured a lead at halftime.
- Ermedin Demirovic’s header for Augsburg in the second half was countered by Harry Kane’s close-range effort, seemingly settling the match in Bayern’s favor.

Talking Point – Concerns for Kingsley Coman
Kingsley Coman’s injury, forcing him off the field and potentially sidelining him for a significant part of the season, raises concerns. Despite his impressive career achievements, injuries have repeatedly hampered Coman’s consistency. Bayern Munich and France may miss his contributions in crucial moments.
Player of the Match – Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich)
Despite Bayern’s injury challenges, Jamal Musiala, nearing his 21st birthday, showcased his importance to the team. Leroy Sane may have shone brightly this season, but Musiala’s agility, quick feet, and playmaking abilities make him a vital asset. His performance suggests Bayern can navigate challenges, even in the absence of key players.
