Bayern win the game – Kane scores

From the start, Bayern left no doubt that they wanted to win this game. In the first few minutes, FC were able to get ahead of Manuel Neuer, but after these attempts they kept running into Bayern’s counterattack! As a result of this counterattack, Leroy Sané missed two clear chances to score. FC could thank Marvin Schwäbe for Bayern not scoring three or four goals in the first half.

But Schwäbe couldn’t prevent a goal. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting broke through and looked for a shot on the left side of the penalty area, but was denied by Jeff Chabot, who cleared the ball off the line. Harry Kane gratefully received the rebound in the six-yard box and pushed the ball into the empty goal (20th). As a result, there were further chances for Bayern, but Cologne positioned themselves deeper with the last chain and thus gained more security.

Less speed

In the second half, Bayern almost completely lost the pace and the drive to the goal against Cologne who were deep in the field. For long stretches the game resembled a handball game, as Bayern always combined around the Cologne penalty area.

In the end, FC sensed their chance again as the score was “only” 0-1 despite the clear balance of strength. However, there was no real final offensive, perhaps due to dwindling forces. The best chance to score in the second half went to Coman, whose head hit the crossbar. In the end there is a straightforward away win for Bayern and a respectable success for Cologne because of the narrow result.
