Kompany blames Bayern wastefulness for Augsburg draw
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has rued his team’s inability to finish off their chances for their disappointing 2-2 draw against Augsburg on Saturday.
The defending champions dropped points for the second time in the Bundesliga this season at the WWK ARENA.
Robin Fellhauer scored the fastest goal in Bundesliga history when he gave Augsburg the lead after eight seconds, taking advantage of Manuel Neuer’s mistake.
Ismail Saibari restored parity for Bayern Munich in the 55th minute.
Rodrigo Ribeiro restored Augsburg’s lead in the 64th minute before Nathaniel Brown brought Bayern Munich back into the game in the 80th minute.
The Bavarians had four goals ruled out for offside and they also missed a host of chances to miss out on the maximum points.
Vincent Kompany was disappointed with the team’s wastefulness in front of goal.

He said: “We’re not happy, because we didn’t win. But it isn’t an easy away fixture. Lots of teams will drop points here. When you have so many chances, you’ve done a lot right. But when you make mistakes like we did that lead to two goals, then it’s deserved that we didn’t win. It was an emotional rollercoaster.
“We had the ball in the net six times, but four didn’t count. We had chances. I didn’t think we’d create so many – 29 shots, four goals ruled out for offside. Obviously we made mistakes with the two goals we conceded, which is why it finished with this result.
“That’s how it is in football. They’re normal people who don’t always do everything right. It hurts at the moment, but we move on. Thankfully we’ve got lots of games, so we need to move on.”
Harry Kane, who recorded two assists in the encounter also echoed Kompany’s opinion.
He said: “On another day, we’d win this game. We gifted them two simple chances and they punished us. We were behind twice, hit the bar and post, had an incredible amount of chances. But we need to be pleased with a point in the end.”
The draw leaves Bayern Munich in second place, two points behind Dortmund after five matches.
Vincent Kompany’s men will return to action against Leipzig on Saturday.
