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.
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.

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.
