BERLIN — Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany appealed for calm after another scare at Augsburg, where his team held on for a 3-2 win in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Bayern had needed a late goal from Harry Kane to get past third-division team Wehen Wiesbaden in the German Cup on Wednesday, and there was another anxious finish in Augsburg during a rendezvous with former player Sandro Wagner in his first home game as coach.
Kristijan Jakić and then Mert Kömür scored as Wagner’s team threatened to come from three goals down against its bigger Bavarian rival.
Despite goals from Serge Gnabry, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise – two of them set up by Kane – Bayern was unable to relax. Kömür headed wide in the 90th minute and Augsburg kept pushing.
“I want to give it a bit of context,” Kompany said
