Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Bayern Munich maintains its hopes of winning the German League after beating FC Cologne 2-0 in Week 29 at the Allianz Arena Stadium, Munich, Saturday (13/4/2024).

Even though they maintain their hopes of becoming champions of the German League, these hopes could suddenly disappear if Bayer Leverkusen secures full points when they host Werder Bremen, Sunday (14/4/2024) evening.

In this match, Bayern Munich won thanks to goals scored by Raphael Guerreiro and Thomas Muller.

Statistically, Bayern Munich dominated the match by recording 64 percent of ball possession and taking a total of 16 kicks.

Since the first minute, Bayern Munich took the initiative to attack. However, it was Cologne who had the first chance through Faride Alidou. Unfortunately, his shot went sideways from Sven Ulreich's goal.

Next, it was Bayern Munich's turn to pose a threat through Mathys Tel's kick, but it was saved by Cologne goalkeeper Marvin Schwabe.

Buying and selling attacks between the two teams continued, now it was Cologne's turn to get another chance through Sargis Adamyan's header which Ulreich was able to save.

In the remaining time of the first half, Bayern Munich attacked FC Cologne's defense through Raphael Guerreiro to Harry Kane. However, nothing came to fruition so the score remained at 0-0 at the break.

Entering the second half, Cologne provided resistance again through Florian Kainz's header which was saved by Ulreich.

Bayern Munich were finally able to steal the lead in the 65th minute through Raphael Guerreiro's goal after receiving Joshua Kimmich's pass so the score changed to 1-0.

Successfully stealing the lead, Bayern Munich increasingly aggressively attacked FC Cologne's defense line. However, it only came to fruition when the match entered extra time.

Starting from a mistake in Cologne's defense line, Thomas Muller was able to take advantage of this and create a goal so that the score changed to 2-0 in the 90+3 minute. This score lasts until the match is finished.
