Bayern is back: 4-1 win against Cologne in the DFB Cup!
An exciting evening in Cologne when Bayern met 1. FC Köln in the DFB Cup and ultimately came out on top 4-1. In an exciting game that was characterized by many twists and turns, the Munich team once again showed themselves in top form and thus moved into the round of 16. So reported dfb.de.
The start of the first half was a real shock for the Bayern fans: cheered loudly, Cologne took the lead in the 31st minute through Ragnar Ache after a corner. But the joy only lasted for a short time. Luis Diaz, who had already scored for Bayern in the 5th minute, equalized in the 36th minute before Harry Kane turned the game around with his first goal in the 38th minute to give them a 2-1 lead. A controversial goal, as Diaz's goal should not have counted due to an offside position, as the disappointed Cologne team and their keeper Ron-Robert Zieler discovered, as the VAR was not used that evening.

The turning point in the game
After the break, Bayern pushed more and more for the next goal. In the 64th minute it was Harry Kane again who increased the score to 3-1 with a header from a corner. Cologne could do little to counter Munich's attacks, and shortly after this goal, Olise put the finishing touches in the 72nd minute by increasing the score to 4-1. A bitter evening for the Billy Goats, who failed to hit the post in the 86th minute, which presented the Cologne fans with another challenge.
Bayern, on the other hand, are celebrating their move into the round of 16, together with other teams such as SC Freiburg, who beat Fortuna Düsseldorf 3-1, Union Berlin, who beat Arminia Bielefeld 2-1 after extra time, and SV Darmstadt 98, who knocked Schalke 04 out of the competition 4-0. This reports kicker.de about the current DFB Cup results.
Decision day
What is interesting is the fact that Munich goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, who had to replace the suspended Manuel Neuer, played an important role in the success. He stopped some of Cologne's dangerous shots, including one from Isak Johannesson at the start of the game. While Bayern used their chances effectively, 1. FC Köln will have to discuss the lack of decisions and the uncertainty surrounding the VAR.
Overall, Bayern can look back on a successful evening, while FC Cologne will have to prepare for an intensive analysis of the game in order to perform better in future games. The next game also promises to be exciting - the question remains whether the Billy Goats can learn from this defeat.
