Another horror show for FC Hollywood: Bayern Munich winners, losers and ratings after shock defeat at Augsburg

Mergim Berisha's second-half goal was the difference between the two sides and it leaves the Bundesliga champions fourth in the table after seven matches.

There were a few silver linings in defeat for Julian Nagelsmann's side - most notably the performance of Alphonso Davies - but there was an overriding sense of disappointment yet again.

It's the fourth time Bayern have dropped points in the league already this season having won just three of their opening seven games.

Here are the winners, losers and player ratings from another poor afternoon.

    Winner - Alphonso Davies

    The left-back did his job - and he did it very well. After a mixed year, Davies is once again a constant on the left-hand side of the defence, also because there are virtually no serious alternatives for him.

    Solid at the back and much more noticeable going forward with his pace than Mazraoui on the right - yet another winner in a disappointing 0-1 defeat.

    Loser - Leon Goretzka

    Marcel Sabitzer has played well recently, Ryan Gravenberch is waiting on the bench for his first real chance: Leon Goretzka's prospects are not looking good after his performance in Augsburg when it comes to his regular place in the midfield alongside Joshua Kimmich.

    Goretzka has to improve significantly if he wants to continue to be in the starting XI.

    Bayern Munich Ratings: Defence

    Manuel Neuer (6/10): Had his hands full against Augsburg early on in the game. Also busy organising his defence at set pieces. Powerless for the goal he conceded and actually almost equalised late in the game.

    Noussair Mazraoui (4/10): Did not replicate his performance from the Barca game. Got forward at times but not nearly enough. He did well to stop Ermedin Demirovic breaking the deadlock inside half an hour but was really sloppy in possession.

    Dayot Upamecano (5/10): Aggressive in duels and often intercepted Augsburg passes. However, he made a big mistake in the first half and never really recovered.

    Matthijs De Ligt (5/10): Was lucky that Florian Niederlechner didn't punish him for being careless early on. Too far from Berisha for the goal but did have the best passing accuracy of the players to have started for Bayern.

    Alphonso Davies (7/10): Much more active going forward than his counterpart on the right. He created three chances, more than any of his team-mates. He was also a threat himself and won the ball back on a number of occasions.

    Midfield

    Joshua Kimmich (5/10): Unusually, made the wrong decision often in the first half (nine misplaced passes). Improved after the break but couldn't help to stop the goal.

    Leon Goretzka (4/10): Won some duels but lacked accuracy in his passing. His positioning was often poor which led to him being bypassed.

    Thomas Muller (5/10): Played behind the forwards and had significantly more influence than he did in the frontline last week. Provided good balls to his attacking team-mates on several occasions but, like many others, he struggled after half-time.

    Jamal Musiala (6/10): Not only skillful on the ball, but also robust in duels. Helped out a lot defensively too. Came close to opening the scoring twice, but also lost the ball a few times before half-time. He was neat but nothing more than that.

  • Sadio Mane Bayern Munich Augsburg 2022-23Getty Images

    Attack

    Leroy Sane (5/10): Missed two good chances to take the lead in the early stages. He was too hesitant in front of goal and he should've scored an equaliser in the second half.

    Sadio Mane (4/10): Fought for every ball that came near him. Symbolic of his current form that he couldn't turn around score in the early stages. Chemistry with his team-mates is still missing.

  • Subs

    Serge Gnabry (5/6): Came on for Mazraoui in the 62nd minute to avoid defeat. However, he hardly got involved so it's unlikely he will be in the starting eleven.

    Marcel Sabitzer (6/10): Replaced Goretzka in the 69th minute. Shortly before the end, he created the first dangerous Bayern chance in a long time.

    Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (N/A): The only center forward in the squad came on for Mane in the 78th minute and brought a breath of fresh air. He didn't play for long enough to get a real chance.

    Josip Stanisic (N/A): After he came on, Nagelsmann switched to a back four. He came on for Musiala in the 78th minute but wasn't able to change the result.
