Kim Min-jae (30, Bayern Munich) built a golden tower to play in his 100th official game since joining Munich, but his team's shocking first loss of the season swallowed the disappointment. On Kim Min-jae's monumental day, Munich's unbeaten dream of winning was shattered.
Kim Min-jae's team Munich lost 1-2 to Augsburg in the 19th round of the German Bundesliga at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the 25th (Korea time).
Kim Min-jae, who started the day, left Naples in 2023 and played his 100th official game in more than two years after wearing a Munich uniform. According to the statistics media "Foot Mob," Kim Min-jae played on the ground for 85 minutes until he was replaced by Felipe Chavez in the 40th minute of the second half, showing a 97.3% pass success rate and three successful ball competitions.
It was a meaningful game for Kim Min-jae, who has one goal and one assist in 21 official games this season, but the team's defeat faded.
Munich suffered an unexpected defeat. Munich, which had been undefeated with 16 wins and two draws in 18 games since the opening of this season, suffered the bitterness of its first defeat in 19 games. The Bundesliga's unbeaten streak of 27 consecutive games, which has continued since the match against Bochum (2-3 losses) in March last season, ended on the same day.
Coincidentally, the opponent was Augsburg. Augsburg also stopped Munich's 53-game unbeaten streak in 2014. Augsburg, which remained in 15th place on the fringes of the relegation zone, jumped to 13th place with 5 wins, 4 draws, 10 losses and 19 points.
Despite the defeat, Munich remained in the lead of the 50 league with 16 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. However, the milestone challenge of winning the unbeaten championship was eliminated, and the gap with second-place Borussia Dortmund (42 points) was reduced to eight points.
The game was in the mood of Munich early on. Hiroki Ito connected Michael Olise's corner kick with a header in the 23rd minute of the first half to take the lead by scoring the first goal. However, Munich failed to take advantage of the opportunity to score an additional goal, which eventually became a source of concern.
In the second half, Augsburg's fierce counterattack began. In the 30th minute of the second half, he was shaken by allowing Artur Chávez to equalize the header in a corner kick mixed situation. Then, just five minutes later, he collapsed after being beaten by Hanno Maasengo, who received a cutback from Dimitrios Janulis.
Munich, which was in a hurry, took out defender Kim Min-jae and put in offensive resources, but Olise's shot was blocked by bad luck in the net just before the end of the game and eventually fell to his knees.
