Bayern Munich have endured a quiet start to the season compared to the high standards they have set themselves under Vincent Kompany in the last two years. They remain unbeaten in the league, but there have drawn two games which they should have ideally won.

Die Roten dropped points for the second time this season on Saturday as Augsburg held them to a 2-2 draw. Bayern gave away a cheap goal in the first minute, courtesy of a mistake from Manuel.

The defending champions managed to claw their way back in the game early in the second half, but the hosts stunned them again to regain the lead. Die Roten scored late in the game to salvage a draw.

Bayern had the chance to go top of the league table since Borussia Dortmund had dropped points on Friday. The result on Saturday ensured Die Roten remain second in the Bundesliga. Let us look at the key takeaways from Bayern’s performance on matchday five of the Bundesliga.
