1. FC Köln extend their impressive unbeaten streak. FC drew 1-1 (0-1) in their away game against the Bundesliga champions FC Bayern Munich thanks to an artistic goal by Anthony Modeste (63'), who equalised Joshua Kimmich's first-half opener (40').

After being out of play against Leipzig, Marco Höger returned into Peter Stöger's first eleven. As a result, Jonas Hector switched back to his left-back position. This meant that Kocka Rausch started on the left flank.

Disciplined FC

As expected, the hosts were the superior side with their dominant passing and high possession. FC tried to be successful with quick counters in the first half. However, neither team could come close to scoring due to two well-organized defenses. Thus, the hosts did not create more than a Rafinha shot from 15 yards, which went just over the crossbar (18'). On the other side, Osako tested Horn with his right foot (23').

Kimmich scores

The hosts struggled hard to create scoring chances throughout the first half, but 40 minutes into the match, left-back Juan Bernat crossed a ball in from the right and midfielder Joshua Kimmich finished with a diving header into the far bottom corner. Thus, the home side took the one goal lead into the half.

Dominant hosts

Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti went for a change in personnel at the break and substituted Thomas Müller in for Arjen Robben. The hosts were so dominant that FC hardly had any possession to start the second half. As a consequence, Stöger opted for 2 fresh players at the hour mark: Salih Ozcan and Simon Zoller in place of Höger and Rausch.

Modeste levels

1. FC Köln now played more vertically and this had a direct impact. Risse pushed it forward on the right flank, crossed a dangerous ball, which Modeste reached athletically to convert into the back of the net (64'). This was the Frenchman's 5th goal this season. From now on it was an open match as Cologne and Bayern went back and forth.

Horn stands tall

Bayern needed to do more and they won several corners. Müller received the ball at the far post, volleyed it goalwards, but was stopped by in-form Timo Horn, who deflected the ball against the woodwork with a brilliant fingertip save (77'). 10 minutes later the home side were unlucky again as Bernat hammered the ball against the left post (87'). Just before the end Zoller even had the chance to snatch the victory, but he put it just wide. As a result, FC won an unexpected and important away point.

Next up: Ingolstadt

With this final result 1. FC Köln continue an impressive run and remain unbeaten in their 11th consecutive Bundesliga match. FC are determined to extend this streak against FC Ingolstadt 04 on Saturday, 15 October 2016 (15:30).
