Full-time

Full-time: Bayern 2-0 Cologne

The hosts take three points after second-half goals from Guerreiro and Müller put a hard-working Cologne to the sword. The Bavarians may have only delayed Leverkusen's title party but victory will buoy Thomas Tuchel's side ahead of their Champions League second-leg against Arsenal. For second-from-bottom Cologne, the relegation fight continues into another weekend.

Game, set and match

Bayern put the seal on this game after Waldschmidt gifts Müller the ball and the veteran waltzes through and rolls in his team's second of the game, and his third of the campaign.

GOAL!

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Shot speed

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.

Almost Cologne!

Upamecano makes a serious error at the back and after Waldschmidt fails to take immediate advantage, Ulreich saves the hosts by stopping the follow-up effort.

Ulreich on the spot

Luca Waldschmidt's corner from the right causes enough problems in the Bayern area for Ulreich to come and fist clear.

87'

As things stand

Bayern are moving to within 13 points of runaway Bundesliga leaders Leverkusen, meaning the title cannot be decided today. Cologne are second from bottom, within four points of Bochum and Mainz, as things stand right now.

84'

Kane alert

Tel's shot zips wide but Kane stretched for that as it was on its way and almost got a touch which would surely have diverted the ball in.

82'

Goretzka goes close

Bayern's sub dinks a pass into the box but he's mis-hit that and the ball drops inches wide.

Konrad Laimer and Leon Goretzka are on for the hosts as we head into the game's final 10 minutes.

Müller picks out Musiala, who blasts over the top, not that the Bayern fans behind that goal care as they continue to bounce and sing.

Guerreiro man for firsts

All of Raphael Guerreiro's three Bundesliga goals this season have been scored at home and all have given Bayern the lead.

Guerriero special

Bayern lead and it's a wonder hit from Guerreiro that has the Allianz crowd on their feet. Kimmich's short corner to the edge of the box is collected by Guerriero, who takes a touch before zapping a wicked shot past the despairing Schwäbe and into the corner. Lovely goal.

Bayern expect

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The home supporters are doing their utmost to lift their team, with Bayern looking the likelier of the two sides to net the game's first goal right now.

Chances at both ends

Musiala into the action

Musiala combines with Guerreiro on the edge of the area before firing over the crossbar.

50'

Bayern change

Coman is carried off the pitch with what might be a muscle tear. Bayern's No. 11 was in a lot of pain and unable to put his full weight on the affected leg. Jamal Musiala is on.

Coman injured

Coman, Kimmich and Kane look to work a chance inside the Cologne area. Coman suddenly drops to the floor in pain. This doesn't look good for the French attacker. There was no challenge involved.

Away we go again

Bayern get the second half underway.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Bayern 0-0 Cologne

No goals, but plenty of entertainment at the Allianz Arena. The hosts have hit the woodwork twice but the Billy-Goats have created some dangerous moments of their own. This one is finely poised.

Half-time

44'

More woodwork action

Bayern hit the post for the 20th time this season, Tel bending a shot from distance onto the outside of the upright.

43'

Here come Cologne

More solid work from Finkgräfe wide on the left. His centre all the way across the area finds Alidou, who heads harmlessly wide. That was a solid chance for the visitors.

40'

Kane again

Kane leaps to meet Kimmich's centre and flicks a header from a central position towards the far post. Schwäbe gets down to make an eye-catching, if comfortable stop.

38'

Kane close

Bayern's No.9 battles past Chabot at the second attempt before firing low and wide of the back stick.

36'

Adamyan booked

The Cologne striker goes in over-eager on Guerreiro and the referee has a yellow card out.

Bayern hit the post!

Coman passes for Müller, who cleverly flicks back to Kane. The Bundesliga's top scorer smacks a shot low past Schwäbe. The ball hits the inside of the post and rolls across the goal. It doesn't get closer than that.

33'

Maina eyes goal

Linton Maina turns Kimmich and fires low from the edge of the area. Ulreich gets down to collect handily enough.

32'

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Bayern alive

Bayern lift themselves and after the ball is worked to Müller, the Raumdeuter spins and smacks a shot that hits Chabot and flies away to safety.

20'

Adamyan header

Finkgräfe pings one into the centre from the left and suddenly Adamyan is there all alone in the middle. The Cologne forward throws himself at the ball and connects with a header. Ulreich saves but the header was at a decent height for the stand-in keeper. Adamyan will be disappointed with himself.

Intriguing contest

No goals as yet but this game has the feel of a coiled spring to it. Who will burst into the lead here?

15'

Billy-Goats menacing

Alidou is again through but this time a little wider. His cross is hacked clear by De Ligt. The suspended Thomas Tuchel looks down from the stands in animated mood.

FCB on the ball

Despite Cologne having created one of the game's two big chances, it's the hosts who are currently bossing the possession stats in this game.

Tel shot

Good work from Guerreiro, who finds Tel inside the area. The French forward aims for a curler towards the far post but it's close enough to Marvin Schwäbe for the goalkeeper to parry out.

10'

Alidou chance!

Suddenly Faride Alidou is in on the Bayern right and this looks a huge opportunity for the 22-year-old. The Cologne attacker snatches at the shot and looks on as the ball fizzes wide of the far post.

Slow start

Cologne enjoy some possession but can't make much with it. Slow start to this one.

Christensen booked

Kane looks to burst away into the Cologne half but is stopped in his tracks by a Christensen lunge. Yellow card for the Effzeh man .

Jacob Christensen

Measured start

Bayern are knocking the ball around the halfway line as they look for an early opening against a thus-far well-drilled Cologne defence.

Peeeep!

Cologne get us underway in the 100th meeting between these sides in the Bundesliga!

Hello Cologne 👋

It's Mathys Tel time

The 18-year-old French striker is making only his third start in what is a 47th Bundesliga appearance today. Tel scored in his previous two starts, against Stuttgart last season and Freiburg this.

More on those teams

Bayern opt to mix things up here after their midweek Champions League efforts with Thomas Tuchal making seven changes to the side that started against Arsenal. Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich, Eric Dier and Matthijs de Ligt are the sole survivors from Tuesday. Cologne, meanwhile, replace the suspended Eric Martel with Jacob Christensen while Faride Alidou is in for the injured Davie Selke.

Tuchel's thoughts ahead of Cologne

"We've got several days between Cologne and Arsenal. But there's the consideration to throw in some other players and make some changes. If we make changes, then it's more to give players some match rhythm for Wednesday and not to rest anybody. I won't be watching the Leverkusen game on Sunday. I'll watch Arsenal."

Schultz's thoughts on Bayern

"Bayern are still Bayern. They are a team with incredible quality and will probably, for the first time in over 10 years, not be Bundesliga champions. Nevertheless, we're going to give our best to take something from the game."
