Augsburg’s Robin Fellhauer scored after eight ⁠seconds against Bayern Munich on Saturday to record the fastest ⁠goal in Bundesliga ⁠history, ​but the visiting German champions twice came from a goal down to snatch a 2-2 ⁠draw.

Fellhauer benefited from a blunder by Bayern’s Manuel Neuer as the keeper tried to clear, ⁠but sent the ball to Fellhauer who ​beat the record held ‌jointly by Kevin ‌Volland and Karim Bellarabi by one second.

Bayern, whose only league defeat in their past 48 matches was by Augsburg in January, upped their game after the break, and Ismael Saibari scored the equaliser.

Another Neuer error put Augsburg ahead again in the 64th ​minute, the 40-year-old punching Calvin Brackelmann’s shot into the path of Rodrigo Ribeiro, who only had to push the ball over the line.

Bayern battled back once more ⁠when Harry Kane, who hit the woodwork in ​the first ​half, cut the ball ​back for Nathaniel Brown to tap in ​the equaliser 10 ‌minutes from ​time.

Rayo Vallecano’s La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao was abandoned because of home fans at Vallecas stadium throwing objects on to the pitch in a protest against the club president, Raúl Martin Presa.

In the 13th minute, Rayo fans threw paper aeroplanes, rubber balls and other objects, leading the referee to pause the game and send the players to the dressing rooms.

After the teams came back out to resume play, the fans continued to throw objects and the match was abandoned with the score goalless.
