The Bavarians temporarily go top after hard-fought victory

Bayern Munich kick-started Bundesliga’s Matchday 12 with a narrow 1-0 win over Cologne away from home on Friday night.

Harry Kane continued his unbelievable run of form as he bagged his 18th goal in the league in the 20th minute to give the Bavarians vital three points.

Thomas Tuchel men were more aggressive and persistent and their efforts were deservedly rewarded with the 30-year-old’s strike in the first half.

Nothing much changed in the second half as Bayern continued to be the dominant force, but lacked the finishing touch in the last third.

The hosts tried their best to fight back, but were unable to create something meaningful as they finished the game with only two shots on target.

With the victory Bayern leapfrog Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, who visit Werder Bremen on Saturday. The Bavarians have 32 points from 12 games, while Leverkusen sit second with 31 from 11 games.
