Bayern lost points for the first time in the Bundesliga
Taking the lead but letting Cologne equalize 1-1, Carlo Ancelotti's team's winning streak in the Bundesliga ended.
This disappointing home draw followed Bayern's Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid. With 16 points from six games, the Bavarians head into the break, which will give way to the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, top of the Bundesliga table. But they are in danger of being closed down by the teams behind them.

Cologne have continued their unexpectedly good start to the season. After six rounds, they have won three and drawn three, with 12 points and are currently in fourth place.
Bayern opened the scoring in the 40th minute through Joshua Kimmich. The defender cut inside and headed the ball in, marking Kimmich's fifth goal of the season.
In the second half, not long after Javi Martinez hit the post, Bayern conceded a goal in the 64th minute. Anthony Modeste charged in, jumped high to receive a cross from his teammate and chipped the ball into Manuel Neuer's net.
Ancelotti then brought on Thomas Muller, who had a dangerous chance but could not beat goalkeeper Timo Horn. A few minutes later, Juan Bernat hit the post.
The last two times Cologne visited the Allianz Arena, they conceded four goals. This year, Bayern have not been able to replicate that scoring form. This match, Arjen Robben started for the first time this season but did not create many breakthroughs despite playing well at the beginning of the match.
