Game over
The referee blows the final whistle and Bayern have their second Bundesliga win of 2023/24. Harry Kane has a first double in the German top flight, the Englishman netting from the penalty spot and then applying a superb, striker's finish for his second of the game. The hosts hit the front through Felix Uduokhai's own goal and took time to hit their stride. But Thomas Tuchel and Harry Kane are very much up and running now.

Goal-king Kane
Harry Kane has a brace! Coman releases Davies down the left. The Canadian slips a pass in for Kane who brilliantly dinks the ball, first time, past Dahmen. That was a textbook centre forward's finish.

Unlucky Sane
Exceptional from Sane who takes the pass from Noussair Mazraoui before dinking a superb shot towards the far post, which the ball smacks against. So unlucky.
67'
Augsburg changes
Enrico Maaßen goes for broke. The visiting tactician makes four changes as he attempts to get back into this contest. Cardona, Beljo, Tietz and Berisha are all on.

What a difference eight minutes makes! Augsburg looked comfortable at 0-0 not that long ago but Bayern only needed a couple of moments to completely change the complexion of this game. That's what champions do.

Unfortunate Uduokhai
That's Felix Uduokhai's second-ever own goal in the Bundesliga. He last put through his own net against Dortmund in January 2021.

Bayern lead
Well, it always seemed Bayern might need something out of the ordinary to take the lead the way this game has been going and the hosts certainly managed that here. Gnabry plays Sane in on the right. His shot is saved by Dahmen but the ball then ricochets off Uduokhai, then against the post and just over the line.
29'
Goretzka shot
Augsburg panic in defence and the ball breaks for Goretzka, who gets his head down and whacks a shot goalwards from the edge of the area. Dahmen palms the effort over the crossbar.
27'
Almost Augsburg
Super play from the visitors to get in on goal. Michel rolls a super pass in to Demirovic who suddenly has a sight of goal. The striker snatches at it a little and his effort skews wide of the far post.
26'
Kimmich, Goretzka lead charge
Goretzka and Kimmich show their teammates the way and combine to burst out through the centre. Sane receives possession on the edge of the box but he's forced away from goal and a loose pass follows. Bayern have yet to click here.
23'
Augsburg discipline
Enrico Maaßen's men have not committed a single foul in the opening 23 minutes of this game, quite a feat.
20'
Home unrest
Kane pops a lovely pass out to Mazraoui, who wellies a cross from the right out of play. A few groans sound out around the Allianz Arena. Augsburg are keeping the record champions at an arm's length thus far.

Bayern eye top spot
The hosts have a task ahead of them to unseat Union Berlin at the top of the Bundesliga standings today: a win by three clear goals is what Bayern require to go top of the pile at the end of Matchday 2.

Atmosphere building!
Both teams are out on the Allianz Arena turf going through their respective pre-match warm-ups. The stadium is filling nicely as we edge ever closer to kick off.
All eyes on Harry Kane
So, the big man makes his first Bundesliga appearance at the Allianz Arena. His debut last weekend went pretty well, with the 30-year-old weighing in with a maiden top-flight goal and assist. England's record goalscorer will be in good company in attack today, with Gnabry, Coman and Matchday 1's double goalscorer Sane in support.

Augsburg's away blues
Bayern may have lost their last two competitive games at the Allianz Arena (see below) but Augsburg's record on the road of late has been worrying. Today's visitors are without a victory on their last 13 road trips, which is an unwanted club record.

Head-to-head
Bayern have a strong record at home against Augsburg, as versus most teams in the Bundesliga, having lost just one of the 12 meetings between the teams at the Allianz Arena in the top flight. However, Die Fuggerstädter are not to be underestimated - they have beaten their more illustrious opponents in each of the past two league campaigns.
