It was Modeste’s Japanese strike partner Yuya Osako who put Cologne on top early, but in a three-minute phase later in the half it became clear who the hosts' main man was.
The 28-year-old applied clinical finishes to net in the 35th and 37th minutes and completed his treble with another confident finish in the second half.
Capital club coach Pal Dardai paid Modeste the ultimate compliment after the game, saying the striker was playing on “another level,” and that “We couldn’t stop Modeste and his pace today.”
