Kane works magic in the DFB Cup: Bayern dismantles brave Cologne 4-1!

The fans experienced an exciting football game on October 30, 2025 in the DFB Cup round of 16 between FC Bayern Munich and 1. FC Cologne. With a clear 4-1 win, Bayern star Harry Kane once again drew attention to himself by scoring his goals number 21 and 22 of the season. This much can be said: The Englishman successfully met the challenge that Cologne brought strong to the pitch at the beginning. Cologne's coach, Lukas Kwasniok, had promised in advance to play courageously - and they did.

The game started promisingly for the Billy Goats. They pushed Bayern onto the defensive and refused to be intimidated. Ragnar Ache took the lead in the 31st minute with his first competitive goal after a corner was precisely converted by Isak Jóhannesson. But the celebration didn't last long - just five minutes later Luis Diaz equalized with an irregular goal before Harry Kane turned the game around in the 38th minute.

The game turns

Although Bayern faced difficulties at the start of the game, the team showed an explosive reaction. After the break, Kane added in the 64th minute before Michael Olise added the final point in the 72nd minute. The fact that Cologne couldn't score more than one goal was also due to their bad luck: in the 87th minute, Linton Maina only hit the inside post.

It's clear that Cologne shows a lot of potential despite the defeat when you look at the tensions in the first half. But for Bayern, the hunt for the trophy remains the main focus, while Cologne will face Hamburger SV next Sunday. Bayern, on the other hand, will play their next game on Friday against Bayer Leverkusen.

Final thoughts

Overall, it turned out that Harry Kane once again proved his class. 1. FC Köln can be proud of their courageous performance and will certainly learn from this experience in order to be more successful in the coming games.
