Robin Fellhauer breaks Bundesliga fastest‑goal record against Bayern
FC Augsburg midfielder Robin Fellhauer celebrated on Saturday as he netted the fastest Bundesliga goal ever, finding the net after just 8.4 seconds in the 2‑2 draw with Bayern Munich. The strike eclipsed the nine‑second record held by Karim Bellarabi and Kevin Volland and prompted a light‑hearted interview with Sky Germany.
Neuer’s error gifts record
The visitors kicked off the match, with Luis Díaz playing the ball straight back to Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The 40‑year‑old’s heavy touch sent the ball looping back, and his attempted clearance struck the on‑rushing Fellhauer in the back, sealing the goal in 8.4 seconds.
Bellarabi and Volland congratulate
Karim Bellarabi had set the nine‑second benchmark for Bayer Leverkusen against Borussia Dortmund in August 2014, and Kevin Volland matched it for Hoffenheim against Bayern almost exactly a year later. Fellhauer was shown recorded congratulatory messages from both former record‑holders during his post‑match interview, to which he replied, “That’s very cool. I’m grateful to both of them.”
Fellhauer waited until the age of 27 to make his Bundesliga debut, after five years at Freiburg and a 2019 move to SV Elversberg. He then spent six years in Saarland, helping the club rise from the Regionalliga to the 2. Bundesliga, before Augsburg signed the former Elversberg captain for a reported €700,000 in summer 2025. He featured in all 34 Bundesliga fixtures in his debut campaign.
In a September 30 interview with, the German midfielder admitted he initially struggled to grasp the quality of his new surroundings, saying, “They’re really that good! It can’t be true, I can’t be that bad!” He added, “When you’ve gone through all of that and eventually play in the Bundesliga, it’s just incredible.”
Despite his regular place, Fellhauer still informs his family each time he makes the lineup, writing in the family group chat, “I’m playing today,” followed by a laughing emoji. Since arriving in Augsburg he has operated as a wing‑back, defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder, crediting a private video analyst for sharpening his attacking positioning and goal‑scoring instincts.

When asked about celebrations, Fellhauer said, “There’s not much more going on today. My family is here to visit. We’re going to grab something to eat and then I’m going to stretch out on the couch.” The comment echoed a previous interview in which former teammate Keven Schlotterbeck recounted a gas‑grill incident that singed Fellhauer’s eyelashes and a mis‑measured sofa, 2.70 metres long, that barely fit the two‑metre space in his apartment.
