BERLIN (AP) — The best team in Germany is not necessarily the best in Bavaria.

Bayern Munich slumped to its first Bundesliga defeat of the season by 2-1 at home to Bavarian rival Augsburg on Saturday, when Bayern star Michael Olise struck the crossbar with the last kick of the game.

It’s the first time Bayern has failed to gather at least a point in the league since March 8 in a 3-2 defeat at home to Bochum.

“I wouldn’t say the defeat was absolutely deserved. That might be too much but it also wouldn’t have been deserved if we had won,” Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich said. “So in a way, it’s acceptable, even though it’s extremely annoying for us to have lost a Bundesliga match. The crucial thing will be our reaction to it.”

Augsburg ended Bayern's record 53-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga in April 2014, and on Saturday the same club also ended Bayern's next longest unbeaten run at 27 games.

With 50 points and a goal difference of plus-57, Bayern had already made the best ever start to the Bundesliga after 18 rounds.

Augsburg, only three points from the relegation zone before the match, hadn’t won a game since early December. And Manuel Baum’s team had to come from behind in Munich after Hiroki Ito opened the scoring with a header to Olise’s corner in the 23rd minute.

“We spoke all week about we had to believe in ourselves because no one else did, perhaps justifiably so,” Augsburg midfielder Robin Fellhauer said. “We thought of a plan and it actually worked. We wanted to be well positioned, not allow much, have a bit of luck now and then, and then keep making moves forward.”

Bayern missed further good chances and the first half ended with Fellhauer striking the crossbar for Augsburg.

The visitors pushed hard for an equalizer in the second half and Arthur Chaves duly got it with the back of his head to a corner that Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig failed to reach in the 75th.

Han-Noah Massengo scored what proved to be the winner six minutes later when Dimitrios Giannoulis surged down the left and crossed into the middle to pick him out.

“Unbelievable. There’s still a bit of disbelief in the locker room because nobody really knows what just happened and that we actually did it,” Fellhauer said.

Borussia Dortmund capitalized on Bayern’s loss with a 3-0 win at Union Berlin that cut the leader’s comfortable advantage to eight points with 15 rounds remaining.

Emre Can tucked away an early penalty, Nico Schlotterbech headed the second goal from a corner early in the second half, and Maximilian Beier sealed the win late with a low shot inside the far post.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s habit of conceding three goals continued in a 3-1 loss at home to high-flying Hoffenheim. Frankfurt, which fired coach Dino Toppmöller last weekend, has conceded three goals in all five games it has played in 2026.

Former Real Madrid star Lucas Vázquez scored his first goal for Leverkusen to prevail 1-0 over Werder Bremen. It snapped Leverkusen's three-game losing streak across all competitions.

Leipzig won at relegation-threatened Heidenheim 3-0, and Mainz’s improvement under new coach Urs Fischer continued in beating Wolfsburg 3-1.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal immigration officers shot and killed a man Saturday in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said a 37-year-old man was killed but declined to identify him. He added that information about what led up to the shooting was limited. The man was identified by his parents as Alex Pretti, an intensive care unit nurse.

Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that federal officers were conducting an operation as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and fired “defensive shots” after a man with a handgun approached them and “violently resisted” when officers tried to disarm him. O'Hara said police believe the man was a “lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.” The officer who shot the man is an eight-year Border Patrol veteran, federal officials said.

President Donald Trump weighed in on social media by lashing out at Minnesota’s governor and the Minneapolis mayor.

Trump shared images of the gun that immigration officials said was recovered and said: “What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers?”

In a bystander video obtained by The Associated Press, protesters can be heard blowing whistles and shouting profanities at agents on Nicollet Avenue.

The video shows an officer shoving a person who is wearing a brown jacket, skirt and black tights and carrying a water bottle. That person reaches out for a man and the two link up, embracing. The man, wearing a brown jacket and black hat, seems to be holding his phone up toward the officer.

The same officer shoves the man in his chest and the two, still embracing, fall back.

The video then shifts to a different part of the street and then comes back to the two individuals unlinking from each other. The video shifts focus again and then shows three officers surrounding the man.

Soon at least seven officers surround the man. One is on the man’s back and another who appears to have a cannister in his hand strikes a blow to the man’s chest. Several officers try to bring the man’s arms behind his back as he appears to resist. As they pull his arms, his face is briefly visible on camera. The officer with the cannister strikes the man near his head several times.

A shot rings out, but with officers surrounding the man, it’s not clear from where the shot came. Multiple officers back off of the man after the shot. More shots are heard. Officers back away and the man lies motionless on the street.

The police chief appealed for calm, both from the public and and from federal law enforcement.

“Our demand today is for those federal agencies that are operating in our city to do so with the same discipline, humanity and integrity that effective law enforcement in this country demands,” the chief said. “We urge everyone to remain peaceful."

Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said the officer who shot the man had extensive training as a range safety officer and in using less-lethal force.

“This is only the latest attack on law enforcement. Across the country, the men and women of DHS have been attacked, shot at,” he said.

The shooting happened amid widespread daily protests in the Twin Cities since the Jan. 7 shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good, who was killed when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle. Saturday's shooting unfolded just over a mile away from where Good was shot.

After the shooting, an angry crowd gathered and screamed profanities at federal officers, calling them “cowards” and telling them to go home. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: “Boo hoo.” Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car. Protesters dragged garbage dumpsters from alleyways to block the streets, and people who gathered chanted, “ICE out now,” referring to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

“They’re killing my neighbors!” said Minneapolis resident Josh Koskie.

Federal officers wielded batons and deployed flash bangs on the crowd.

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz said he had been in contact with the White House after the shooting. He urged President Donald Trump to end what the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest-ever immigration enforcement operation.

The shooting happened a day after thousands of demonstrators protesting the crackdown on immigrants crowded the city’s streets in frigid weather, calling for federal law enforcement to leave.

The age of the man who was shot has been corrected to 37, per information from the police chief. The AP previously reported his age as 51 based on a hospital record.

Santana reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Giovanna Dell'Orto and Sarah Raza in Minnesota, Jim Mustian in New York and Michael Catalini in New Jersey also contributed.
