Augsburg’s midfielder scores fastest goal in Bundesliga history against Bayern Munich

In a remarkable display of speed and skill, Augsburg's Robin Fellhauer became the fastest goal scorer in Bundesliga history on Saturday, netting just nine seconds into the match against Bayern Munich. The Bavarian giants reported the extraordinary record-breaking goal on their official website. Fellhauer's incredible strike came after a mistake by Bayern's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who mishandled the ball shortly after the kickoff.

Anticipating Neuer's move, Fellhauer intercepted the ball and swiftly raced towards the goal, slotting it into the net. The Augsburg midfielder's early goal proved crucial as the sides drew 2-2, with Bayern recovering twice to share the points. The new record eclipses the previous time of nine seconds, previously shared by Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi during matches against Bayern in 2015 and 2014 respectively.
