"Bayern Munich has been a juggernaut all season and even in a game where things were not exactly smooth (especially the pitch), the Bavarians were able to outlast and outwork FC Köln for a 3-1 victory. It was a strong comeback effort for head coach Vincent Kompany's squad and with the final score, Bayern Munich was able to set a new record for best first half of the season in the Bundesliga."
"The game itself was not exactly a dominant showing, but it was also never in doubt. Bayern Munich never looked out of the match, even when falling behind and it was a consistent grind to just wear down a scrappy effort from the Billy Goats. Goals from Serge Gnabry, Kim Min-jae, and Lennart Karl powered the Bavarians, who are now going to shift focus to a weekend matchup against a RB Leipzig team looking for revenge after Bayern Munich shellacked them 6-0 on opening day."
Bayern Munich continued dominant form with a 3-1 victory over FC Köln despite difficult pitch conditions and an uneven performance. The win completed a comeback and secured a new Bundesliga first-half record based on goal differential for the 2025/26 season. Bayern stayed in control throughout, never truly threatened to lose even after conceding, and wore down a scrappy Köln side. Serge Gnabry, Kim Min-jae, and Lennart Karl provided the goals. Attention now turns to a weekend clash with RB Leipzig, who seek revenge after a 6-0 opening-day defeat by Bayern.
