Augsburg (AP) - FC Bayern wins again with the famous Dusel - but above all thanks to goal scorer Robert Lewandowski.
The world footballer led the league leaders in the Bundesliga with a penalty (13th minute) with his 22nd goal of the season to a shaky 1-0 (1-0) in the derby at FC Augsburg.
After a shaky first series, Hansi Flick's star ensemble goes into the second half of the season as first with 39 points, championship title number nine in a row beckons.
For the first time after almost three months - or eleven games - the triple champion played to zero.
National goalkeeper Manuel Neuer equalized the record of former Bayern titans Oliver Kahn with his 196th white vest.
The hosts gave in the second half a huge chance to equalize with a penalty.
Flick had announced immediately before kick-off: "We want to add more now."
Three days after the 2: 1 against SC Freiburg and the provisional end of the earnings crisis, the 55-year-old was able to plan again with Serge Gnabry.
The national player had to end the game against the sports club early due to muscular problems.

In Augsburg he formed the creative wing tongs with Kingsley Coman against compact and often deep in their own half at the beginning - coach Heiko Herrlich had done without a nominal striker.
Counterattacks were the means of hope.
But against the fearful opponent, who had traveled by bus from Munich, there was not much to be gained at first.
Munich let the ball run better than in the league defeats against Borussia Mönchengladbach and in the DFB Cup against second division Holstein Kiel, put pressure on the Augsburg goal and were rewarded with an early lead.
Lucas Hernández, who joined the Bayern defense for Alphonso Davies, quickly developed into an asset and was hit in the penalty area by the hosts of Rani Khedira in the foot.
Penalty kick!
Lewandowski loaded the strong Rafael Gikiewicz in the FCA box.
Goal number 22 for the 32-year-old Poland in the 17th game of the season - the almost half a century old record of 40 goals from the 1971/72 season by ex-Bayern professional Gerd Müller could fall this year.

But there is one thing that Munich had to do - also Lewandowski, who set his first record up to the substitution in the 67.
Minute - hold up: The exploitation of opportunities.
Gnabry (23rd, 38th), Thomas Müller (23rd) and Lewandowski (24th, 42nd) failed.
In part to Gikiewicz.
Partly due to the lack of accuracy or the lack of luck, as with Lewandowski's outside post hit shortly before the break.
Would that take revenge?
The Bavarians were suddenly unrecognizable.
The passable passing game, the scoring chances, the security - nothing was to be seen of it.
Instead, they gave the Augsburgers space to develop and made their opponents strong again.
Herrlich recognized the opportunity, brought the attackers Alfred Finnbogason and Florian Niederlechner.
And then France's world champion Benjamin Pavard jumped the ball up his arm - a penalty for Augsburg.
Bayern wavered again after Freiburg almost equalized in stoppage time.
And this time: Finnbogason just hit the post.
The Bayern-Dusel is back.
