"The encounter with the team from the cathedral city was a stark contrast to the previous game as Bayern struggled to make a breakthrough during the opening 45 minutes and fell behind when Koln's attacking midfielder Linton Maina scored the game's opening goal late in the half on the counterattack. However, deep into first-half added time, Serge Gnabry levelled the score with a brilliant finish from a seemingly impossible angle."
"In the second half, Bayern continued to push forward and eventually secured the victory courtesy of a header from Kim Mn-jae in the 71st minute. Towards the end, an excellent one-time finish from substitute Lennart Karl added a measure of gloss to the scoreline. Let's take a look at the players who stood out for Die Roten in the victory from matchday 17."
"Often maligned for his untimely errors, since the latter half of his first season in Bavaria, Kim Min-jae managed to keep his critics silent on Wednesday by being both Bayern's best defender as well as the scorer of the crucial second goal. With 85 touches in the game, the South-Korean defender completed 95% of his passes (70/74). Courtesy of his excellent positional play throughout the game, Kim made seven clearances, completed six recoveries, and also blocked one shot."

Kim Min-jae scored the decisive 71st-minute header and added strong defensive contributions throughout. He had 85 touches, completed 95% of his passes (70/74), made seven clearances, six recoveries and one blocked shot. Near the hour mark he displayed pace to chase down and dispossess Jakub Kaminski to prevent a one-on-one. Substitute Lennart Karl finished one-time late to seal the scoreline.
