Match Events
1'OWN GOAL! Augsburg 1-0 Bayern (Goretzka)
GOALLL!!! INCREDIBLE! Augsburg have the ball in the back of the net inside 15 seconds as Max escapes to the byline and pulls a pass into the middle that deflects in off Goretzka. A miserable start for the visitors. They trail 1-0.
17'GOAL! Augsburg 1-1 Bayern (Coman)
GOAL!! And it's that man Coman who drags Bayern level! Kimmich's dangerous cross from the right is too high for Goretzka, but it drops perfectly for the France winger to side-foot home at close range. 1-1.
23'GOAL! Augsburg 2-1 Bayern (Dong-Won)
GOAL!! Augsburg restore their advantage! Max, the architect of the opener, gets to the byline on the left and delivers low into the box, where a touch from Gregoritsch fails to disturb Ji in lashing beyond Neuer. Bayern trail 2-1!
48'GOAL! Augsburg 2-2 Bayern (Coman)
GOALLL!!! Coman comes up big for the second time in this match. Found on the left by Goretzka, he drives a cool left-footed finish through the legs of Kobel, who may feel as though he should have done better. Bayern claw it back to 2-2 right on half-time.
53'GOAL! Augsburg 2-3 Bayern (Alaba)
GOAL!!! Bayern lead for the first time and it's an unerring finish across Kobel from Alaba, who received Coman's pass, got it out of his feet and speared a superb shot into the bottom-right corner. Much to their relief, the champions lead 3-2.
60' CHANCE! Lewandowski's shot wide out
Wasted! Kimmich lofts a lovely ball over the defence for Lewandowski to chase but, from just inside the box, the striker fires the wrong side of the near post. You expect him to do better there.
66' CLOSE! Goretzka's shot saved
That could have been the game. Hummels threads a brilliant pass through to an unmarked Muller, who can only shoot straight at Kobel. The margin remains at one with around 25 minutes to play.
71' Almost the hat-trick for Coman!
Almost the hat-trick for Coman! Kimmich's corner finds him at the far post but the header comes back off the bar.
Match Report
Kingsley Coman starred as Bayern Munich twice came from behind to earn a 3-2 win at Augsburg that moves the Bundesliga champions two points behind Borussia Dortmund, but he did not see out the match after picking up an apparent ankle injury in the closing stages.
Augsburg ended Niko Kovac's run of seven straight wins in all competitions at the start of his Bayern reign and they again gave his side a headache, opening the scoring in the first minute at WWK Arena on Friday.
But a brilliant individual performance from Coman, who twice scored first-half equalisers before setting up David Alaba for the winner after the interval, ensured Bayern go to Liverpool for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on the back of an exhilarating victory.
Bayern captain Manuel Neuer was back in goal after missing three games with a thumb injury but he conceded after just 13 seconds, Leon Goretzka turning a Philipp Max cross into his own net.
Joshua Kimmich's 10th Bundesliga assist of the season helped Bayern get back on level terms, with Coman's smart low volley providing the finishing touch.
