"Bayern Munich struggled early on against FC Köln. That much was clear, as set piece after set piece rained down on deputizing goalkeeper Jonas Urbig's goal and the youngster had to make multiple saves. Just after that first 30 minutes Der Effzeh took the lead, only for Bayern to react. Seven minutes after Köln's opener, the Bavarians had turned the game around and lead 2-1."
"Of course, Harry Kane was crucial to that, netting an unbelievable shot by swiveling and hitting the ball into the top corner from an impossible angle with his weak foot. "The first 30 minutes weren't easy. We had chances to take the lead then, too. Then they scored. But the reaction was very good. It was very important that we took control before halftime,"
