Neuer’s early mistake hands Augsburg a record‑fast German league goal
At the Allianz Arena in Augsburg, the opening whistle was barely audible before the ball was in the net – a mere seven seconds after the match began. The goal, scored by Augsburg’s Fellhauer, became the quickest ever in the German league and left Bayern Munich’s 40‑year‑old goalkeeper Manuel Neuer staring at an uncharacteristic error.
How the record‑breaking play unfolded
The fifth‑round Bundesliga fixture between Augsburg and Bayern Munich started with a routine back‑pass to Neuer. The German international mis‑controlled the ball, rushed forward and attempted a dribble, only to lose possession. Fellhauer pounced and slotted the ball home, completing the seven‑second strike.
Context for Bayern and Neuer
Neuer, widely regarded as one of the greatest German players, began his senior career at Schalke 04 in 2006 and joined Bayern Munich in 2011. Since then he has amassed 13 Bundesliga titles, six German Cups, eight German Super Cups, two Champions League trophies, two Club World Cups and two UEFA Super Cups.
Bayern, the most successful club in German league history with 34 titles, entered the 2023/24 season as defending champions after two consecutive titles. The campaign started positively with three wins and a draw from the first four matches, before the early setback in Augsburg.
