FC Bayern Munich: 1. FC Cologne vs. FCB NOW in the live ticker – half time
Halftime Bayern can be very satisfied with their performance so far, but not with the interim result. Because Bayern were overwhelmingly superior for the most part and, purely based on the chances they had, they could have scored three or four goals. Cologne’s high pressing was always an invitation to the guests, which so far only Kane was able to take the lead with a shot. Sane alone gave away two hundred percent. Can Cologne turn this narrow deficit around?
FC Bayern Munich: 1. FC Köln vs. FCB NOW in the live ticker – final whistle 1st half
45.+3. Nothing happens anymore! Bayern take the narrow lead into the dressing room.
45. Once again the all-clear comes quickly, both are now back at it. Meanwhile, the injury time of three minutes is displayed.
44. Ouch, that’s a big collision. Thielmann and Upamecano crashed their heads in midfield, and the Bayern defender in particular appeared dazed and had to be treated.
43. And things get tricky again. After a corner, the ball sails from the right to the five-man. There may not be any people from Munich there, but the people from Cologne are making the thing dangerous themselves. Carstensen wants to receive the ball, but then has to scratch it away just before the line.
42. Standards weren’t an issue today, now a corner becomes dangerous for the first time. The ball ends up in a detour at Coman, who can’t get through with his volley from ten meters.
40. There isn’t much going on in this phase of the game, Bayern are increasing their possession statistics slightly (66 percent). Cologne operates with a five-man chain at the back, which appears quite stable when it is organized. But only then.
37. Now Cologne is pulling back a bit, Bayern are patiently letting the ball run through their own ranks. Laimer has some space on the right, but can’t get a cross to Kane.
34. Cologne is not backing down from its plan, it is continuing to move forward courageously. Although this rarely works, the Effzeh has managed to get through well once or twice. On the other hand, Bayern are currently taking a little breather.
31. On the other hand, Neuer has to play for the first time! Kainz has some space on the left corner of the penalty area and crosses to the far post. Carstensen runs in, but cannot head the ball decisively into the middle to Selke. Neuer intercepts the touchdown player in the follow-up.
29. And the next thing: Kane with the next outstanding high pass. The Englishman sends Coman into the box on the right, who volleys a little too hastily and doesn’t hit the ball cleanly. Schwäbe does not have to intervene.
28. Sane has the 0:2 on his feet! Once again Bayern have a lot of space, Kane sends Choupo-Moting on the right. Today’s ten serves Sane in the center, who takes the ball with him and then, stumbling, puts it just past the left post.
25. How do the people of Cologne react? The very high pressing simply doesn’t work due to Bayern’s high quality and at the same time opens up large spaces for FCB. A different strategy is necessary.
22. Almost 0:2! Kimmich plays to Sane in front of the penalty area, again he has plenty of space. Once again he sets up for Choupo-Moting, who can finish freely from 16 meters. Schwäbe prevents the double strike and just steers the ball around the right post.
FC Bayern Munich: 1. FC Cologne vs. FCB NOW in the live ticker – Goal FC Bayern Munich
20. Tooor! 1. FC Cologne – FC BAYERN MUNICH 0:1. It can happen so quickly – Bayern take the lead on the counterattack! Cologne makes poor use of a promising situation, then Bayern have a lot of space when switching. Sane finds a three-on-two situation and sends Choupo-Moting into the box on the left. After a hook, the offensive man overcomes Schwäbe, but Chabot clears on the line. The ball is free and then of course there is Kane, who slides it into the empty goal from close range. Goal number 18 of the season.
17. It’s interesting to see how high the Cologne team is pushing. Selke even keeps running at Neuer on the five. So this is a risky approach for both sides, because Bayern can overplay something like that. On the other hand, losing the ball would be fatal.
15. That didn’t look good at the moment, Kim had a pain-tortured face. The defender is now standing again and comes straight back onto the field.
14. Upamecano plays the ball out because Kim remains lying after an aerial duel against Selke. The South Korean accidentally hits the ground with his hip and now has to be treated.
12. Cologne is always brave when it comes to pressing, but Bayern have the quality to exploit these situations. Sane breaks through, Coman and Choupo-Moting are completely free on the right, but the pass doesn’t arrive. Lucky for Cologne.
10. Now the Cologne team has their first offensive action. A corner from the left slides to the edge of the penalty area to Ljubicic, whose shot goes a bit wrong. The ball goes to Thielmann, who misses Neuer from ten meters, but was offside anyway.
7. Opportunities every minute! Kane plays a chip ball into the path of Sane, who suddenly appears free in front of Schwäbe. Sane wants to lift the bouncing ball over Schwäbe, but the keeper senses this, spreads out and is able to parry.
6. Bayern again! This time it is Sane who is doing a lot of work on the left side. He wants to serve Kane with a surprising pass, but Kilian intervenes in the center and almost steers the ball into his own goal. The ball just sails past the right.
5. Dangerous! Laimer – today playing as a right-back – breaks through to the baseline on his side and plays Choupo-Moting in the center. Under great pressure, the offensive man finishes the turn from ten meters and shoots one or two meters past the left.
3. Bayern start powerfully and force Cologne to lose the ball early. However, the guests are still imprecise in the transition game; in this scene, a chip ball from Kimmich to Coman is not effective.

1. Friday’s game is on!
FC Bayern Munich: 1. FC Cologne vs. FCB NOW in the live ticker – before the start
before start Last but not least, we look at the referee team, which is led today by Marco Fritz. His assistants on the lines are Dominik Schaal and Marcel Pelgrim, Christian Dingert is the fourth official. Matthias Jöllenbeck and Markus Häcker are sitting in the basement in Cologne.
before start In Cologne last season, Bayern not only won the championship on the last matchday, they also feel very comfortable in the Rhineland. FCB won all of their last nine away appearances in Cologne. The Cologne team’s last home win against the record champions was twelve years ago with a 3-2 home win after a 2-0 deficit.
before start And now come Bayern, of all teams, who have won eight of their last nine competitive games (the exception being the cup final in Saarbrücken). The impressive form is personified above all by striker Harry Kane. The Englishman is breaking one record after another and currently has a sensational 17 goals in eleven games this season. If Kane continues like this, he will easily pulverize Robert Lewandowski’s goal record (41 goals).
before start To do this, Effzeh needs only its second win of the season. So far, Cologne have only been successful in the derby against Mönchengladbach (3-1) on matchday 8. Cologne is currently playing its second weakest season in the club’s history. Only in the 2017/18 season did they have two fewer points in their account at this point. In the end, Cologne was relegated as bottom of the table.
before start The table configuration of the two teams couldn’t be more different. Bayern are in second place and are aiming for a temporary lead in the table with a win. Cologne, on the other hand, is in 17th place and urgently needs points in the fight against relegation. With a threesome, the Baumgart team could at least jump to 14th place.
before start On the other hand, despite the 4-2 win against Heidenheim, there are four changes in coach Thomas Tuchel’s team: Joshua Kimmich returns after serving his red card suspension, and Leon Goretzka, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Kingsley Coman also join the team. Bouna Sarr, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Serge Gnabry and Thomas Müller sit on the bench.
before start FC Bayern goes into the game with the following eleven: Neuer – Laimer, Upamecano, M.-J. Kim, Mazraoui – Kimmich, Goretzka, L. Sané, Choupo-Moting, Coman – Kane.
before start Compared to the 1-1 draw in Bochum two weeks ago, coach Steffen Baumgart made three changes to the starting eleven: Dominique Heintz, Mark Uth and Luca Waldschmidt replaced Luca Kilian, Dejan Ljubicic and Jan Thielmann on the bench.
before start Will Effzeh manage to turn things around against the record champions? Let’s first look at the lineups, starting with 1. FC Köln: Schwäbe – R. Carstensen, Hübers, Kilian, Chabot – Martel, Ljubicic, Thielmann, Kainz, Maina – Selke.
before start For FC Bayern today it’s about conquering the top of the table, the Munich team are currently two points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. With only six points, 1. FC Köln is in a relegation zone. However, Cologne could leave the relegation zone today with a win against FC Bayern.
before start The opening game of the 12th Bundesliga matchday begins at 8.30 p.m. in the Rhein-Energie-Stadion in Cologne.
before start Hello and welcome to the live ticker of the game between 1. FC Cologne and FC Bayern Munich.
