Story updated
The story in brief
32-second read(Photo by Tom Weller/picture alliance via Getty Images) Vincent Kompany is not about to let one mistake define Manuel Neuer, even after the Bayern Munich captain gifted FC Augsburg an early goal in Saturday’s frustrating 2-2 draw.
Neuer’s afternoon got off to a disastrous start when his attempted clearance following the kickoff struck Robin Fellhauer, allowing the Augsburg midfielder to race through and score after just 8.4 seconds.
The goal set a new Bundesliga record for the fastest strike in league history, giving Bayern an unwanted place in the record books. However, Kompany was quick to defend his experienced goalkeeper after the match, emphasizing the importance of responding to adversity rather than dwelling on a single costly moment.
