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

Augsburg's Robin Fellhauer set a new Bundesliga record with the fastest goal in the league's history on Saturday. The speedy strike occurred in less than nine seconds during the team's match against Bayern Munich. The record had previously stood at nine seconds, a tie shared by Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi in previous Bundesliga encounters in 2015 and 2014 respectively.

Fellhauer seized the opportunity to break the record after Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made a crucial error just moments after the match kicked off. With the ball approaching him, Fellhauer anticipated Neuer's heavy touch and swift attempt to clear the oncoming ball. The quick-thinking midfielder intercepted the pass and sprinted forward, ultimately slotting the ball into the net.

Despite scoring a remarkable goal, the match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Bayern Munich managing to secure a draw after falling behind early in the game.
