🔴⚪ Under the lights in Cologne, Bayern Munich delivered a rollercoaster performance in the second round of the German Cup, coming from behind to win 4-1 and keep their flawless start alive. It's 14 wins in a row across all competitions—an all-time record for any club in Europe's big five leagues! 🎉
Early on, Cologne drew first blood. Isak Johannesson unleashed a thunderbolt that Bayern keeper Jonas Urbig somehow tipped away, but on the half-hour mark Ragnar Ache rose highest and nodded in a corner to put the home side in front. With no VAR in the Cup, it was game on!
Six minutes later, Bayern struck back. Joshua Kimmich's powerful drive was parried, and Luis Diaz popped up to tap in the equalizer. Some fans even whispered about a tight offside call, but the goal stood. ⚡️
Hot on the heels, Harry Kane showed why he's the MVP—two minutes later he curled a beauty into the top corner to make it 2-1. The English striker is now on 🔥 this season, hitting 22 goals in 14 games.
The onslaught continued after the break. In the 64th minute, Kimmich swung in a perfect corner and Kane rose to nod home his second of the night. 3-1 and it was lights out for Cologne.
Michael Olise added some icing on the cake in the 72nd minute, smashing in a stunning fourth to seal the 4-1 victory. With this win, Bayern move on to round three and keep chasing that elusive German Cup trophy—they haven't lifted it in five years!
For young fans, professionals, and travelers alike, this match was a masterclass in resilience and superstar quality. Bayern's hunt for more silverware continues, and we can't wait to see what comes next! 👀⚽️
