Bayern go into their midweek Champions League group stage opener away to Olympiacos on the back of a win, but Saturday’s 2-1 success against Bavarian neighbours FC Augsburg was hard-fought to say the least as Pep Guardiola’s men came from behind and scored in the last minute to continue their perfect start to the 2015/16 Bundesliga campaign.
The 75,000 capacity crowd at the Allianz Arena saw the champions control the play for the whole of the first half but fall behind to Alexander Esswein’s opportunistic strike two minutes from the break. New signing Kingsley Coman made his FCB debut as a 56th-minute sub and Robert Lewandowski finally crowned an intense spell of Bayern pressure with the 77th-minute equaliser, before Thomas Müller netted a 90th-minute penalty to secure the points.
The result sees the Reds keep pace with Dortmund at the top of the standings as both teams have the maximum 12 points, with Wolfsburg four points back in third. Following the trip to Piraeus on Tuesday, the Bavarians are back in action in the Bavarian derby against FC Augsburg at the Allianz Arena on Saturday 12 September.
