39'
IMPORTANT INTERVENTION
Kimmich's piercing through ball looks to release Lewandowski but Gikiewicz is quickly off his line and takes the ball from the lethal feet of the Bayern forward. However, he's been caught in the process and needs the magic sponge treatment.
38'
BLOCK!
Lewandowski lays it off to Muller, who holds the ball and sets it up for his team mate to have a shot. However, there's no way past Dorsch who makes the block.

YELLOW CARD!
Oxford gets tight to Lewandowski, preventing the Poland international from spinning away on the edge of the box. However, the referee deems it to be an illegal challenge and goes to his pocket to book the Augsburg defender.
This is a free-kick in an extremely dangerous area. Central, just 20 yards from goal.
35'
WILD!
Augsburg spring a counter-attack, moving the ball to Vargas wide left. He carves inside, has options in the middle but opts to shoot from 30 yards out and can only find row-Z.
32'
NOW LEWANDOWSKI IS LIMPING
Oxford goes in hard but fair on the Poland international and he's clearly hurt, limping slightly. There is nothing to be overly concerned about, however.
30'
LEWI RUNS INTO TROUBLE
Lewandowski's run is fed by Goretzka's pass but Gummy snaps into the tackle quickly, dispossessing the formidable Bayern forward.
Half an hour now on the clock, Augsburg have hardly been troubled.
28'
PAVARD RETURNS TO THE PITCH
Looks fine to continue.
26'
IMPORTANT TACKLE!
Augsburg create an opening thanks to a nice, fluid attacking move. The final ball looks to set Vargas free on the left but Pavard times his challenge perfectly to put an end to their threat.
However, Pavard appears to have hurt himself in the process of making the challenge and needs to leave the pitch for treatment.
24'
CHANCE!
Vargas spreads the ball to Caligiuri, who finds himself in space on the right side of the penalty area. He misses the chance to take a first-time shot, instead opting to cut back onto his left foot, which allows Richards to make the block.
A let off for Bayern.

OFFSIDE
Sane threads a ball into the path of Goretzka but the linesman's flag is raised as another Bayern attack ends in frustration.
18'
WIDE
Kimmich tries his luck with a shot from range but isn't able to trouble Gikiewicz in the Augsburg goal.
17'
BLOCK!
Gnabry fizzes a low ball across the box, it falls to Pavard who hammers a shot at goal. Dorsch make a sliding tackle and blocks the shot.
16'
EFFECTIVE PRESSING
Another misplaced pass from Bayern in midfield as Augsburg's press continues to cause the hosts problems.
15'
SLOPPY BAYERN
On the evidence of the opening 15 minutes here, Bayern have not recovered from the shock loss to Villarreal, a night where their lacklustre performance was punished.
12'
ANOTHER MISTAKE AT THE BACK
Nianzou's loose pass back to Upamecano puts Bayern in huge trouble as Hahn steps in but Upamecano makes a crucial tackle to save his side's skin.
10'
SLOW START
Controlled possession from Bayern, but they're not going anywhere. It has been a brave and positive start from Augsburg with their intense pressing.
7'
AUGSBURG WIN THE FIRST CORNER TODAY
Can they trouble the home side's defence? No. Bayern deal with the set-piece comfortably.
5'
FORCED WIDE
Lewandowski receives a through ball in behind the Augsburg defence but he's forced wide by the goalkeeper and the visitors get enough men back to scramble his cut-back clear.
3'
LOOSE PASS FROM BAYERN
Vargas pounces on a loose pass out of Bayern's defence as the hosts squander possession cheaply. But Goretzka is quickly onto the scene to rescue his team mates.
2'
NOT FAR AWAY!
Bayern have started on the front foot, hoping to put Augsburg to the sword early as they prepare for a huge match against Villarreal on Tuesday. Gnabry stands up a cross from the left flank but it just evades the head of Lewandowski.
