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 probability 
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.
Distance to 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.

89'
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.

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

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).

Chances at both ends
Kainz leaps and heads straight at Ulreich. At the other end, Tel's effort is brilliantly saved by Schwäbe.

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.

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.
35'
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
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).
31'
Super Schwäbe
Müller finds Kane in a central position and the English forward plays in Guerreiro. The Portuguese international has time and space to pick his spot but his shot is brilliantly palmed away by Schwäbe.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

This match-up has been pretty one-sided in recent years - Bayern are unbeaten in their last 19 matches against Effzeh. Their last home defeat came in 2009, when they succumbed 2-1.
