Bayern Munich, winner of the last ten Bundesliga titles, lost this Saturday in Augsburg 1-0 in the Bavarian derby, suffering its first defeat of the season and complicating its situation in the table.
After seven games in the Bundesliga, Manuel Neuer and his teammates are left with 12 points and cannot get out of the bad moment they are going through, after accumulating three draws in a row before this defeat, against Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-1), Union Berlin (1 -1) and Stuttgart (2-2).
Bayern, now fourth, has three points less than Borussia Dortmund, who beat Schalke (1-0) and has taken the lead with 15 units, when Union Berlin, which has 14, hosts Wolfsburg on Sunday to try to regain the top spot in the championship.
Julian Nagelsmann’s men, who show another face in the Champions League, with their triumphs at Inter (2-0) and at home against FC Barcelona (2-0), lost by a goal that came shortly before the hour of game through Mergim Berisha.
After that goal, Bayern pushed and had chances to at least take a point.
– Dortmund victory –
At the same time, their main rival for the title, Borussia Dortmund, recorded their fifth victory in seven games, winning the prestigious “Revierderby” against Schalke, thanks to a goal from Youssoufa Moukoko when the final ten minutes were entered.
Edin Terzic’s players, who were close to the feat in the Champions League at Manchester City on Wednesday (2-1 defeat after being ahead on the scoreboard until the 80th minute), are installed at the top of the German tournament.
But there was also bad news for Terzic and Germany coach Hansi Flick as Marco Reus had to be stretchered off the pitch.
