The "goats" have been dreaming for 14 years to conquer the home of Bayern, the biggest German club and at the same time - the biggest enemy. And they were close to unsuspected happiness, but - Joshua Kimich's right shone in 90th minute, and the ball went off the crossbar into the Cologne net - 1:1, in the 17th round.
The last time the "Goats" won a point in Munich, the match ended with an identical result back in 2011.
Cologne entered the game very well, taking the lead with a goal from the Tunisian Skirija after a header from defender Julian Šab, the visitors did a great job on the counterattack, positioned themselves in the block and "caught" Bayern's attackers offside.
On the other hand, it was visible when the team was well organized that the 10-time consecutive champion of Germany lacked a top class such as Robert Lewandowski.
However, Kimich prevented a sensation.
And without the injured Stevan Jovetić, Herta was outclassed by Wolfsburg at home - 5:0.
There was a lot of excitement in the match between Hoffenheim and Stuttgart - 2:2. The home team took the lead through Andrej Kramarić, the guests reversed and in the 78th minute were left without the suspended 20-year-old Frenchman Ahamad.
Kramarić used it for a draw in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Schalke used to be a giant of German football, until a few years ago it was in the top, but it sank in 2019, when it was announced that it was in big financial problems.
He also spent one season in Zvajta, and it seems that he will quickly return to a lower rank.
What else to say after the embarrassment of the "royal blue" against Leipzig? "Bulls" led 4:0 at halftime, allowed the home team to reduce through the Japanese Soichiro Kozuki, but Dani Olmo and Jusef Poulsen made the final 6:1 at "Feltins Arena".
Andre Silva entered the list of scorers twice, and Benjamin Henrichs and Timo Werner were also accurate.
The most beautiful detail of the match was seen in the 83rd minute, when Olmo beat Aleksander Shvolov with a perfect lob.
Leipzig reduced the gap behind Bayern, who have been losing to Cologne since the 4th minute, to three points, and Schalke is last with nine, six less than the safety zone.
