Bayern Munich operated a 4-2-3-1 formation. Ulaihi kept the goal, while Mazrawi, Dyer, The Licht and Kimmich built a back four. Geheiro and Pavlovic were located in the third line in front of the defense, and Tel, Müller and Coman were in the second line. Kane was on the front line.

Cologne also played in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Shubabe wore goalkeeper gloves, and Pinkgrepe, Chabot, Hoover and Tillman built a back four. Christensen and Ljubic played in the third line in front of the defense, while Kainz, Maina and Alidu were in the second line. Adamian played as a front-line striker.

Cologne played a defensive game as he lowered the line on the day. Bayern Munich struggled to break through this. Geheiro's shot in the 29th minute disappeared the goalkeeper's chance to score. Kane had a chance in the 34th minute, but he came out of the net.

Rather, Bayern Munich's defense was shaken. In the 20th minute of the first half, Adamian's header missed, but The Licht and Dyer failed to defend the interpersonal person. He lost the header as he missed it. Alido's header was also free in the 43rd minute. If you miss the defender momentarily, the scene continued.

Bayern Munich continued to have a chance to run away with a score. Mathias Tell's shot hit the post in the 43rd minute of the first half. It continued to be unlucky.

After the start of the second half, Bayern Munich left due to Kingsley Coman's injury. Instead, Jamal Mussiala was put in. In the 16th minute, The Licht and Mazrawi were out, and Dayo Upamecano and Alfonso Davis were put in. Upamecano was chosen earlier than Kim Min-jae.

These replacement cards were successful. Geheiro's shot from a corner kick in the 20th minute of the second half hit the net. In the atmosphere of defending one goal, a decisive crisis came in the 45th minute. Upamecano made a mistake in the process of opening the pass from the back. The opponent tried to catch the ball and the goalkeeper Ulaihi saved the crisis.

Bayern Munich, which prevented a major disaster, did not miss the mistake of the Cologne defense due to the opposition of extra time and ended the game with Thomas Muller owning the ball and cutting through the net on a one-on-one basis with the goalkeeper.

Bayern Munich won the match without Kim Min-jae. Upamecano, who played before Kim Min-jae, was even praised by Coach Thomas Tuchel after the match. Tuchel said, "It is true that Upamecano was often involved in the loss that we conceded. However, this is what happens to players. He is our player. We may need him for the match against Arsenal."
