The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2Augsburg's Robin Fellhauer scored eight seconds into the home match against Bayern Munich on Saturday 10 October, the fastest goal in Bundesliga history. Mixed · 2The goal came from an error by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, whose attempted clearance went to Fellhauer; Arab News says Neuer chipped the ball straight from kick-off into Fellhauer's path and he ran it into an empty net. Mixed · 2It beat the previous record of nine seconds, held jointly by Kevin Volland (2014) and Karim Bellarabi, and Arab News reports the Bundesliga later confirmed the exact timing as 8.4 seconds.

Right · 1Bayern were shaky in the first half, and Arab News says they were lucky not to go 2-0 down when Juma Bah missed a sitter on 36 minutes. Mixed · 2After the break Bayern had an effort ruled out for offside around the 51st minute, and Ismael Saibari equalised about four minutes later, with Harry Kane providing the assist. Mixed · 2Augsburg went ahead again in the 64th minute when Neuer, 40, punched or parried Calvin Brackelmann's shot into the path of Rodrigo Ribeiro, who scored from close range.

Mixed · 2Nathaniel Brown equalised for Bayern ten minutes from time after a Kane cut-back, making it 2-2. Mixed · 2Accounts of Bayern's other late chances differ: CNA says Serge Gnabry hit the post, while Arab News says both Luis Diaz and Gnabry had goals ruled out for offside. Mixed · 2The draw leaves Bayern second on 11 points, two behind leaders Borussia Dortmund on 13, so they missed the chance to go top.

Centre · 1Bayern had lost only once in their previous 47 league games before this match, and that defeat was at Augsburg in January. Right · 1Elsewhere on Saturday, Bayer Leverkusen won 4-3 at Mainz, Hamburg won 3-2 at Hoffenheim, Stuttgart won 2-0 at Paderborn and Union Berlin beat Elversberg 1-0.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
