Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Allianz Arena!
- 5' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Bayern Munchen in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past 1. FC Köln's compact 3-3-2-2.
- 10' Harry Kane makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and FC Bayern Munchen are in front.

- 22' Assisted by Lennart Karl with the perfectly-timed delivery and Tom Bischof makes no mistake. 3-1!
- 27' FC Bayern Munchen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
- 32' The travelling 1. FC Köln supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 34' The referee calls foul for Joel Schmied. He receives a card.
- 37' Konrad Laimer has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 37.
- 42' It’s high time Vincent Kompany made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 47' FC Bayern Munchen are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against 1. FC Köln's 3-3-2-2 shape.
- 52' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Bayern Munchen and 1. FC Köln are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 57' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Bayern Munchen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 62' 1. FC Köln seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 67' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 69' Assisted by Leon Goretzka with the perfectly-timed delivery and Harry Kane makes no mistake. 4-1!
- 74' FC Bayern Munchen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 79' 1. FC Köln are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 83' Nicolas Jackson has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 83 minutes.
- 88' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Dayot Upamecano suffering a number of foals already.
- The referee brings this contest to a close. FC Bayern Munchen take all three points.
