he slips but is able to drive a shot towards the near post and Schwaber is there to parry it away! Definitely a foul from the Bayern defender. Koln take a shock lead! Olesen wins the visitors a corner. Kainz's cross into the box is nodded on by Chabot at the near post and Skhiri is there at the far post to stab it in for his third goal of the season! If he did that would have been a certain goal.

Daley Blind: "What more do I need to explain? It's Bayern Munich!" (Bundesliga.com - official website)

Netherlands international Daley Blind sits down for an exclusive chat with bundesliga.com about his move to record champions Bayern Munich.

Blind: "I think it's a league with a lot of strength, a lot of pace. I think I prefer to play in the centre of the pitch. I showed the world that we can do it – like [Christian] Eriksen also – we showed that we can do it and that it's possible. I think every opponent has a lot of quality and experience. But we do as well, so I think we can look forward to a great game." And of course, if you are in a tournament, you want to win it." It's a big club, one of the biggest clubs in the world. You get more and more excited the more you speak to them. I think me being a free agent was a good opportunity for them to fill in this role because I have the experience they were looking for. Blind: "The intensity is quite high, a bit higher than I'm used to at the moment. I know if you go to a club like Bayern that the intensity is very high. When the opportunity came to really get at it, I was excited to get to go to this challenge.

[Eintracht Frankfurt](/soccer/team?id=125), third on 30, take on Freiburg on Wednesday. The keeper was beaten, however, when Kimmich's missile went in off the bar in the last minute. [Thomas Muller](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/123465/thomas-muller) had their best chance but [Marvin Schwabe](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/205751/marvin-schwabe) tipped his 80th-minute header over the bar. "It is good to have 15 shots towards goal but we are happy when we start scoring more than just one." "We had chances but we had to use at least one of them. Two points from the last two matches is too little for us," said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Bayern Munich Drop 4 Points To Start Post World Cup Campaign (Forbes)

The Rekordmeister dropped two points against RB Leipzig on Friday (1-1) and then needed a world-class finish by Joshua Kimmich to rescue a 1-1 draw against Köln ...

The way we played in the second half was what we had imagined. That would set up a tasty top of the table clash on Saturday, when Bayern host Frankfurt in what will be a true Topspiel. Instead, it needed a world class finish by Kimmich in the 90th minute for Bayern to equalize. "We were better in the second half after the subs,” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said. Bayern was indeed better in the second half. “We conceded a goal again after a set piece.” That was often the case in the first half of the season.

[Tottenham Hotspur](https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com)’s Harry Kane seems to be rounding third and heading for home.

It was a sequence where the entirety of the backline shifted to Keystone Kops mode. - Entering the match, all I really wanted to see was a more fluid attack and a more cohesive defense.
