Bayern wins spectacularly against Cologne - DFB Cup in lockstep!
It was an exciting evening in the DFB Cup FC Bayern Munich on October 31, 2025 against the 1. FC Cologne and ultimately reached the round of 16 with a score of 3-1. After a brilliant start from Cologne, who took the lead through Ache in the 31st minute, Bayern turned the game around within just two minutes and once again showed their class.
The equalizer, scored by Luis Diaz, initially caused celebration in the Cologne camp, but was called into question by the referee's decision because Diaz was offside. For Bayern, it was Harry Kane who demonstrated why he is one of the best strikers in the league with his goals number 21 and 22 this season. The final score was finally sealed by Olise, who put the final point.
The gameplay in detail
In the first half it was primarily an open game that kept the spectators on both sides in suspense. The Cologne team only needed ten minutes to cause a stir with a dangerous corner. A double chance for Bayern was brilliantly saved by Cologne keeper Zieler in the 19th minute. Cologne's lead fell in the 31st minute, which led to loud celebrations among the Cologne fans. But then came the break-in.
From the 35th minute onwards, things changed in a very short time. Bayern's top scorer Harry Kane turned things around with his header in the 70th minute after converting a perfectly timed corner from Kimmich. However, Cologne cannot rest on what they have achieved - their last win against Bayern was back in 2011.
