Bayern Munich 1-2 Augsburg Player Ratings: Han-Noah Massengo Impressed in a 2-1 Comeback Win Against Bayern

The Allianz Arena has witnessed countless dominant Bayern performances, but this night told a very different story. FC Augsburg produced a remarkable second-half comeback to hand the league leaders their first defeat of the ongoing 2025/26 Bundesliga season.

The hosts, Bayern Munich, started in control and deservedly took the lead when Hiroki Ito powered home a first-half header. Bayern dictated the tempo, dominated possession, and looked comfortable for long stretches, with the second goal seeming inevitable. If we look at the first half stats, the visitors were nowhere close to Bayern. The home side, FC Augsburg, had over 70% possession compared to 27% of Augsburg. However, in the second half, Bayern lost their attacking edge as their xG went down from 0.97 to 0.50 while the visitors were more impressive as they went up from 0.22 to 0.72.

But football has a habit of flipping narratives. Augsburg emerged from the interval with renewed belief and aggression, completely shifting the momentum. Arthur Chaves sparked wild celebrations among the travelling fans by heading in from a corner to level the scores, before Han-Noah Massengo completed the turnaround just six minutes later with a composed finish. This win comes with a sense of relief for the visitors as they move further up from the drop zone in the Bundesliga.

FC Augsburg Player Ratings vs Bayern Munich

Let's take a deeper look at the Augsburg Player Ratings.

Goalkeeper

Finn Dahmen - 8.0: An absolutely heroic performance between the sticks. He made five crucial saves, including brilliant stops to deny Harry Kane and Aleksandar Pavlovic. What stood out to us was his composure under pressure. His distribution was also solid, initiating a few counters. He was a rock that the comeback was built upon.

Defenders

Cédric Zesiger - 7.5: A very solid defensive showing. He made four crucial clearances and was strong in his tackles, winning all three he attempted. While he was dribbled past a couple of times, he never looked truly flustered against Bayern's world-class attackers. He just got on with his job quietly and effectively.

Keven Schlotterbeck - 7.0: The captain put in a real leader's shift. He was instrumental in organizing the backline, especially as Bayern piled on the pressure. With a high pass accuracy and winning most of his duels, he provided a calm presence. His experience was vital in seeing out the historic win.

Arthur Chaves - 8.5: What a game from the defender. He scored the all-important equalizer with a powerful header, completely changing the momentum. Beyond the goal, he was a defensive titan, winning six duels and making three tackles. From our perspective, he was a genuine contender for man of the match before his late substitution.

Midfielders

Han-Noah Massengo - 8.5: The match-winner and our highest-rated player. He coolly slotted home the winning goal to complete the unbelievable comeback. But his performance was so much more than just the goal. He covered every blade of grass, making 10 ball recoveries and breaking up play relentlessly. A true box-to-box masterclass.

Elvis Rexhbecaj - 6.5: A tireless runner in the midfield, but he struggled to make a significant impact on the game. He had a decent shot on target but was sometimes careless in possession. It wasn't a bad performance, but others around him simply shone brighter before he was subbed.

Dimitrios Giannoulis - 7.5: The creative engine for Augsburg. He created an incredible five chances and grabbed the assist for the winning goal. Yes, he lost possession a bit too often for our liking, but his willingness to take risks and drive the team forward was crucial. He was a constant thorn in Bayern's side.

Robin Fellhauer - 6.0: An unfortunate outing for him. He was incredibly unlucky to see his first-half shot cannon off the woodwork. Other than that moment, he had a quiet game, struggling to win his duels and giving the ball away cheaply. A day he'll want to forget.

Forwards

Alexis Claude-Maurice - 7.5: He was a bundle of energy at the top of the pitch. He didn't score, but he registered six shots and constantly hassled the Bayern defenders, winning nine duels. His defensive work rate, with six tackles, was phenomenal for a forward. He just needed a little more composure in front of goal.

Anton Kade - 6.0: Really struggled to get into the flow of the game. With only 17 touches in over an hour, he was largely anonymous. He couldn't hold up the ball and was rightly substituted. A tough day at the office for the young attacker.

Fabian Rieder - 6.5: Much like his midfield partners, he put in a lot of hard work without much end product. He showed some neat touches but couldn't unlock the Bayern defence. An industrious but ultimately quiet performance.

Substitutes

Samuel Essende - 6.5: Offered more of a physical presence than Kade when he came on.

Yannik Keitel - 6.5: Helped to solidify the midfield in the final stages.

Mert Kömür - 7.5: A game-changing substitution. He provided the pinpoint cross for the equalizing goal. A huge impact in a short amount of time.

Marius Wolf - N/A: Brought on late to help see out the victory.

Manager

M. Baum - 8.5: A tactical masterclass. His team showed immense character to come from behind. His substitutions were inspired, particularly the introduction of Mert Kömür. He deserves all the credit for this monumental upset.

FC Bayern Munich Player Ratings vs Augsburg

Here's a look at the Bayern Munich Player Ratings.

Goalkeeper

Jonas Urbig - 6.5: Made a few decent saves and couldn't be faulted for the first goal. However, we felt he might have done better for Massengo's winner. It wasn't a terrible performance, but he wasn't able to produce a game-saving moment when his team needed him.

Defenders

Min-jae Kim - 6.0: An uncharacteristically average display from the South Korean defender. While he made some good tackles, he also committed needless fouls and looked a step off the pace. He was part of a defence that collectively switched off in the second half.

Jonathan Tah - 6.0: His stats look good with high passing numbers and eight clearances, but he was clumsy. The yellow card for handball was a moment of poor judgment. He looked solid for an hour then seemed to crumble under pressure like the rest of his team.

Alphonso Davies - 6.5: Was a decent outlet down the left flank during his time on the pitch, creating a couple of chances. The team seemed to lose some balance after he was substituted. A standard, if unspectacular, performance from the Canadian.

Hiroki Ito - 7.5: Scored a well-taken header to give Bayern the lead and was one of their better performers. He was strong in his duels and solid defensively for most of the match. He can certainly hold his head higher than most of his teammates.

Midfielders

Leon Goretzka - 6.0: A very subdued performance. He was neat in possession but offered very little going forward. From our perspective, he failed to impose his physicality on the game and was largely a passenger before being substituted.

Luis Díaz - 6.5: It was a deeply frustrating afternoon for him. He was caught offside three times and lost the ball frequently. While he tried to be direct and make things happen, his decision-making was poor and he missed a big chance.

Michael Olise - 7.5: A bright spark in a dismal team performance. He provided a great assist for the opening goal and was unlucky to hit the woodwork late on. He was always trying to create, but he couldn't do it all by himself.

Lennart Karl - 5.0: A really poor showing. He missed a glorious opportunity to score and made a costly error that led to a chance for the opposition. He looked completely out of his depth and was rightly hooked after 61 minutes.

Aleksandar Pavlovic - 8.0: Bayern's best player by a country mile. He was simply superb in the middle of the park, dictating play with an incredible 167 touches and near-perfect passing. He also worked hard defensively. A magnificent individual performance that was sadly wasted.

Forwards

Harry Kane - 6.0: A surprisingly quiet and ineffective game from the captain. He was well-marshalled by the Augsburg defence and never really got a clear sight of goal, missing the one big chance he had. He'll be incredibly disappointed with his lack of impact.

Substitutes

Joshua Kimmich - 6.0: Came on but couldn't wrestle back control of the midfield.

Jamal Musiala - 6.5: Showed flashes of his brilliance but couldn't find the key to unlock the Augsburg defence.

Nicolas Jackson - N/A: Not enough time to make an impact.

Tom Bischof - N/A: Came on late.

Felipe Chávez - N/A: Minimal time on the pitch.

Manager

V. Kompany - 5.0: A disastrous result for him and his team. After taking the lead, his side completely capitulated at home. His substitutions failed to change the game's negative momentum. He has serious questions to answer regarding his team's mentality and inability to manage the game.
