Bundesliga record shattered as Augsburg Robin Fellhauer scores in eight seconds

Augsburg Robin Fellhauer made Bundesliga history on Saturday afternoon when he scored after just 8.4 seconds, the quickest strike ever, against Bayern Munich at the WWK Arena. The 28‑year‑old midfielder capitalised on a rare Manuel Neuer error, sending the ball straight into an empty net and breaking the record previously held by Karim Bellarabi and Kevin Volland.

Record‑breaking start

Bayern began the match in possession, but a back‑pass from Luis Díaz to Neuer proved disastrous. The 40‑year‑old goalkeeper’s heavy touch sent the ball looping back onto the on‑rushing Fellhauer, who tapped it home without a defender in sight. The Augsburg midfielder, who arrived ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, had not been selected for Jürgen Klopp’s 44‑man squad during the recent international break, making the moment all the more satisfying.

Bayern’s fightback

Despite the early shock, the German champions rallied. Ismael Saibari levelled the score, and a second Neuer mishap in the 64th minute allowed Rodrigo Ribeiro to push the ball over the line. Ten minutes from time, Harry Kane, after striking the woodwork, threaded a pass to Nathaniel Brown, whose tap‑in secured the final equaliser. Bayern’s only league defeat in their past 48 matches came at Augsburg’s hands in January, underscoring the significance of the comeback.

Other league action

Saturday’s fixtures produced drama elsewhere. Bayer Leverkusen edged a roller‑coaster 4‑3 win over Mainz after early goals from Robert Andrich and Patrik Schick, with Anthony Caci’s brace rescuing a draw before half‑time. Hamburg claimed a late 3‑2 victory at Hoffenheim, despite a red card for Bernardo and a disallowed VAR decision. Stuttgart comfortably beat Paderborn 2‑0, while Union Berlin snatched a 1‑0 win over Elversberg. In Spain, Rayo Vallecano’s La Liga match against Athletic Club was abandoned after fans threw objects onto the pitch.

The 2‑2 draw leaves Bayern unbeaten in the league since that January loss, while Augsburg earn a valuable point and a place in the Bundesliga record books. Fellhauer now joins an elite list that includes Karim Bellarabi, Kevin Volland, Giovane Élber and Lothar Matthäus, cementing his rapid rise from former Elversberg captain to record‑breaker.
