"Bayern Munich came from behind to maintain their 11-point advantage at the Bundesliga summit following a 3-1 victory over Koln at RheinEnergieSTADION on Wednesday. Linton Maina's stunning solo goal gave the hosts a deserved lead, but Vincent Kompany's side flexed their muscles to ensure their unbeaten start to their season continued. Said El Mala forced Manuel Neuer into an early save at his near post before the game was halted soon after as smoke from flares within the crowd descended onto the pitch."
"Once play resumed, Hiroki Ito was denied in the 20th minute by Marvin Schwabe, with the Koln goalkeeper also denying Michael Olise with a smart stop down to his right-hand side. But four minutes before the break, Koln took a surprise lead when Maina dispossessed Serge Gnabry before running from his own box to rifle the ball into the roof of the net."
