Great challenge
The ball falls to Díaz inside the Cologne area but Thielmann times his challenge perfectly, pinching the ball off the winger just as he's about to get his shot away. Superb defending.

Worth a try
Gnabry tries to connect with Goretzka's deft pass but can't quite wrap his left foot around the ball, allowing Schwäbe to come out and gather.
54'
Kim composed
El Mala tries to nick the ball off Kim but the Bayern defender remains unflustered, calmly playing it back to Neuer.
51'
Tough cookie
Ito is back on the pitch and trying to run off the injury. Bischof was getting ready to come on for Bayern but might not be needed after all.
49'
Ito struggling

Straight at Schwäbe
Olise beats the Cologne wall but not the goalkeeper, who makes a comfortable stop.
47'
Early chance for visitors
Goretzka's attempted through-ball is intercepted but Olise is then upended by Krauß on the edge of the box. Free-kick to Bayern in a very dangerous position...

Wide from Díaz
The Colombian cuts onto his right foot but gets his angles wrong, dragging a low effort wide of the near post.

Good save!
This one would have counted! Gnabry finds a pocket of space outside the area and unleashes a venomous strike which Schwäbe manages to parry behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.
32'
Gnabry through on goal
The forward skips past Simpson-Pusey but takes a heavy touch just as he's about to pull the trigger. The linesman's flag was up anyway, though.

Visitors threaten
Díaz breaks clear down the left and tries to cut the ball back to Gnabry, but the low ball is intercepted by a Cologne defender. The Colombian might have been narrowly offside in the build-up, though.

Neuer collects

15'
Cologne impressive

Cologne currently sit in 11th place on 17 points, but they are winless in seven. Their recent draw against Heidenheim saw them come from behind twice and perform well in the second half, but it still wasn't enough for three points.
