Finn Dahmen kept goal in FC Augsburg's 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich and saved from Ismael Saibari in first-half stoppage time. Robin Fellhauer had put Augsburg ahead after just over eight seconds, Rodrigo Ribeiro restored the hosts' lead after Saibari's equaliser, before Nathaniel Brown made it 2-2 for Bayern in the 80th minute. The video highlights come from the official YouTube channel “Bundesliga”.
For Noah Atubolu, the evening in Leipzig turned into a debacle: Eintracht Frankfurt lost 6-0 at RB, with Christopher Nkunku scoring three times. “Conceding 16 goals in five games is a lot, we have to change something very quickly,” Atubolu told Sky. “We have to be ashamed of that.”
Dahmen was in the first part and Atubolu in the second part of Klopp's 44-man squad for the Nations League games in September and October. The head coach has announced a much smaller squad for November.
