Fellhauer reflects on record-breaking eight-second strike for Augsburg
Robin Fellhauer scored after 8.4 seconds against Bayern Munich on Matchday 5, setting the fastest goal in Bundesliga history. In an interview, he said he learned of the record during an injury stoppage when Michael Gregoritsch congratulated him. Fellhauer described the pressing plan and a lucky deflection that let him finish calmly, adding that the achievement has since sunk in.
Robin Fellhauer’s 8.4-second finish for Augsburg against Bayern Munich on Matchday 5 stands as the Bundesliga’s quickest goal. He has three goals in five outings this season. The previous holders were Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi, both of whom sent him video congratulations after the match.
Fellhauer first heard about the milestone during an injury stoppage, when Michael Gregoritsch told him the next drink was his. The goal followed Augsburg’s instruction to disrupt Bayern’s kick-off routine, with a deflection and a deliberate low finish completing the sequence.
The record may boost Fellhauer’s profile and Augsburg’s visibility, giving fans a memorable talking point. It could inspire young players by showing that quick pressing and alertness can produce historic moments. Broadcasters and social media may keep replaying the goal, extending its reach beyond Bundesliga audiences. For Bayern, it may become a footnote about kick-off vulnerability.
