Bayern goalkeeper's shocking blunder! Neuer gifts Augsburg a bizarre goal in the first minute. VIDEO
Bayern Munich conceded a bizarre goal in their fifth-round Bundesliga clash with Augsburg. Veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made a glaring error that allowed the hosts to open the scoring.
The incident came immediately after the ball was played from the center spot. Bayern's players passed it back to their goalkeeper, but instead of simply continuing the attack, Neuer tried to dribble past Robin Fellhauer. The Augsburg forward read the goalkeeper's intentions, won the ball and calmly rolled it into an empty net.
As a result, the hosts took the lead thanks to an incredible gift from one of the most decorated goalkeepers of the modern era.
Neuer is rightly regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in football history. However, even his outstanding career cannot change the fact that the German occasionally makes completely avoidable mistakes.
For Bayern, conceding such a goal was a painful blow, while Augsburg were handed the chance to capitalize on a mistake by their illustrious opponents. All eyes are now on Neuer's response and whether the Munich side can turn the game around.
