Bayern Munich secured their first win of the Bundesliga season on Saturday when they defeated Cologne 4-1 at the Allianz Arena in Berlin.

The Bavarian giants dominated possession throughout the match, creating numerous chances for both goalscorers. In the opening half, Bayern had two shots on goal, but neither could convert them into goals. However, in the second half, things changed dramatically.

In the 68th minute, Robert Lewandowski scored his first league goal since January 2022, giving Bayern a 1-0 lead. Just five minutes later, the German international doubled his tally, scoring his third goal of the match from close range to put Bayern firmly ahead.

Meanwhile, Julian Nagelsmann’s side was also aided by a key assist from Leon Goretzka. The former Arsenal player found himself in space on the right wing and delivered a pinpoint cross that allowed Thomas Müller to tap it home for his 25th league goal of the season.

Cologne, who were looking to avoid dropping points for the first time this season, struggled to create any meaningful反击 opportunities against Bayern. Their only shot on target came in the final minute of the game, when Kevin Volland managed to head a corner wide.

With the win, Bayern moved up to fifth place in the Bundesliga table, while Cologne fell to eighth. The victory was particularly significant for Bayern, as they had not won a league game in 20 matches (12 games) before this one.

Overall, the performance of Bayern Munich was impressive, with both Lewandowski and Nagelsmann’s team showing signs of form after a slow start to the season. With another win under their belt, Bayern will be confident going forward and look to continue their dominance in the Bundesliga.
