"Bayern Munich made it two wins from two games in 2026 when they overcame a plucky Koln side on matchday 17 at the RheinEnergie Stadium. Koln started the brighter of the two sides and would have taken the lead inside of two minutes were it not for a fine save from Manuel Neuer against Said El Mala, who shot from close range."
"For reasons unknown, Olise's performance on Wednesday was littered with unforced errors, most notably 19 misplaced passes. Despite providing the assist to Gnabry for the equalizer, even after Olise seemingly got his radar calibrated for the second half, his creative influence on proceedings still waned. Anyone can have an off day, but by Olise's high standards, a pass completion rate of only 69% (43/62) can almost be considered a stinker."
Bayern Munich secured a 3-1 win at the RheinEnergie Stadium to make it two wins from two in 2026. Koln started brighter and almost led inside two minutes before Manuel Neuer denied Said El Mala. Linton Maina gave Koln a 41st-minute lead on the counterattack. Serge Gnabry equalized with a remarkable goal just before halftime. Kim Min-jae headed Bayern into the lead midway through the second half, and substitute Lennart Karl stroked home the third in the 84th minute. Michael Olise had a rare off day, completing 69% of passes (43/62) with 19 misplaced passes and one successful dribble.
