Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac praised Augsburg after his team were held to a 1-1 draw in the Bundesliga on Tuesday.
The reigning champions dropped points in the league for the first time this season, an 86th-minute goal from Felix Gotze cancelling out Arjen Robben's opener.
Kovac was impressed by Augsburg, who collected just their fifth point from as many league games this campaign.
"Augsburg did a very, very good job over 90 minutes. They stifled our build-up play," he said.
"It wasn't easy to get out of our own half. When we did we failed to convert our chances into goals.
