MUNICH, Germany, April 9 (Reuters) - Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich needed an 82nd-minute penalty from top scorer Robert Lewandowski to snatch a 1-0 victory over visitors Augsburg on Saturday and protect their nine-point lead with five matches ...

"We have to improve for Tuesday and we will," he said. "We were lacking in intensity and we started badly. We did it better with our intensity in the second half."

Robert Lewandowski is out to add to his 31 Bundesliga goals this season, but Ricardo Pepi is still searching for his first when Bayern Munich host Augsburg ...

Coach Markus Weinzierl praised the "passion and spirit" with which his side defended against the 05ers, and they are bound to need more of the same at the Allianz. American teenager Pepi came off the bench in midweek and provides Weinzierl with an alternative option in attack. Corentin Tolisso is out after suffering a hamstring injury late in last week's 4-1 victory at Freiburg, which left Bayern nine points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table. Mads Pedersen and Andre Hahn got the goals in the reverse fixture and are set to start alongside Florian Niederlechner, although Ruben Vargas also staked his claim for a starting berth with the winner against Mainz. With Carlos Gruezo suspended, Arne Maier and Niklas Dorsch will continue to hold down the fort in midfield. - Defeat in the reverse fixture was only Bayern’s third loss in 21 Bundesliga games against Augsburg. - Lewandowski has scored 22 goals in 18 meetings with Augsburg, and has only failed to score in two of his 12 games against them as a Bayern player. Lewandowski was on target in November's reverse fixture against Augsburg, although Die Fuggerstädter grabbed the headlines by winning their first Bavarian derby in over six years.

Bayern Munich had to rely on a late penalty from Robert Lewandowski to inch past ...

Marcel Sabitzer (CM, 57' for Goretzka) - 5/10 - Not really bad but not really good. Sloppy defensively and pretty underwhelming with the ball at his feet. Coman saw an effort well saved by Gikiewicz, before Kimmich rattled the crossbar with an excellent effort from range, and the excellent Niklas Dorsch had to clear off the line in the dying embers as well. The hosts began brightly but Augsburg were clearly not afraid of Bayern, pressing with a high line and trying to get in behind their backline. Leon Goretzka (DM) - 5/10 - Put a decent shift in but still looks short of match fitness. Joshua Kimmich (DM) - 5/10 - Kimmich gets so much responsibility but didn't do enough with it.
