1. Bundesliga: It happens in the tremor victory: historic Bayern moment in minute 20

Trembling victory thanks to record Kane!

The FC Bayern remain unbeaten in their twelfth league game, winning 1-0 Köln.

After the international matches, in which 17 Bayern national players were on the move, there is no sign of the German record champions’ travel strain in the game. Also because – of course – super striker Harry Kane (30) is there again!

20. Minute: A bad pass from Kainz blows up in Cologne’s face. Things move forward quickly via Laimer, Coman and Sané. Chabot saves Choupo-Moting’s shot on the line. But Kane is in the right place and pushes the ball over the line – 1-0.

With his 18th goal of the season, the Englishman scored exactly twice as many goals as the entire Cologne crisis team (nine goals/league low).

In addition, 18 goals after twelve match days are a new Bundesliga record. He surpasses Gerd Müller’s previous record (✝ 75/17 goals).

Cologne can be happy that it “only” goes into the break 0-1. Steffen Baumgart’s experiment with a three-man chain completely backfires. The coach before the game: “I’ve never had a back three play.” You can tell.

Table 17. is wild at the back, is completely open and has no access to Bayern at all. Only Schwäbe and Munich’s wealth of opportunities save FC from falling behind. The Cologne keeper holds up very well against Sané (7th) and Choupo-Moting (22nd). Sané also misses a mega opportunity (28th).

Even after the break only FC Bayern plays. Chabot blocks a shot from Sané in dire need (77′), Coman only heads it onto the crossbar (78′). There is nothing to be seen from Cologne offensively, Baumgart’s troops are just “defending” the 0-1 lead.

In the end, Kane’s goal was enough for Bayern to jump past Leverkusen (today in Bremen) to the top of the table, at least overnight.
