How it happened

Augsburg drew 2-2 with Bayern München in the Bundesliga, and the goalkeeper Finn Dahmen was the reason. He made eight saves and earned a match rating of 9.8, the highest of any player in the fixture.

Fellhauer put the home side ahead in the first minute, and Augsburg led 1-0 at half-time. Saibari levelled for Bayern in the 55th minute. Ribeiro restored Augsburg's lead in the 64th, but Brown equalised in the 80th and the score stayed at 2-2.

Bayern put 10 shots on target. Two beat Dahmen; he stopped the other eight.

The numbers

The match statistics lean heavily one way. Bayern had 29 shots to Augsburg's 12, 70% of possession to 30%, and nine corners to five. Their expected goals total was 5.02 against 2.39 for Augsburg, so the visitors created more than double the quality of chance and scored only twice.

Augsburg's five shots on target produced two goals. Dahmen touched the ball 56 times, a modest workload on the ball but a heavy one in front of it.

For Bayern, Joshua Kimmich had a match rating of 8.6 and 137 touches, with one key pass. Michael Olise rated 8.1, with five key passes and 109 touches. Neither scored or provided an assist, which sums up how the chances kept ending.

What it means

Bayern arrived second in the table on 11 points from five matches, with a sequence of W-W-D-W-W. Augsburg were fifth on eight points, after L-D-W-W-L. A draw adds a point to each, so the gap stays at three.

Bayern's longer record is still strong: eight wins and two draws from their previous 10, with 33 goals scored. Augsburg's was five wins, three draws and two defeats, with 35 scored and 16 conceded.

The history favours the visitors heavily. Of 34 meetings, Bayern have won 27, Augsburg five and two have been drawn. Augsburg won the most recent one, 2-1 away from home on 24 January, and this result keeps them level with Bayern on the day rather than behind.
