Pepe Reina kept clean sheets in his other two Bundesliga matches this season

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Pepe Reina was sent off as the German champions lost to Augsburg.

First-choice Manuel Neuer was rested with Tuesday's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona in mind.

But he had to come on after 14 minutes as Reina conceded a penalty for fouling Raul Bobadilla, with Paul Verhaegh hitting the post with the kick.

Bobadilla scored the winner with a clever backheel from a cross by Pierre Hojbjerg, who is on loan from Bayern.

Bayern wrapped up the league title two weeks ago, but have lost all four games since then - including a penalty shootout defeat by Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup semi-final.

They host Barca on Tuesday having lost the first leg 3-0 on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola's Bayern named a strong team, although captain Philipp Lahm was replaced by Neuer early on.

Reina was making only his third appearance for the club, having joined in the summer from Liverpool.

Elsewhere in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund boosted their Europa League hopes with a 2-0 victory over Hertha Berlin.

Borussia Monchengladbach have almost clinched their place in the Champions League group stages as they beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 to move five points clear of the fourth-placed side.

Hannover moved out of the bottom two with a 1-1 draw against Werder Bremen, while Eintracht Frankfurt beat Hoffenheim 3-1.
