Overview

• Serge Gnabry opened early before Isaac Price leveled from a corner, drawing halftime whistles in Cologne.
• Second-half substitutes shifted the game as Nadiem Amiri made it 2:1 and Florian Wirtz added a free-kick for 3:1, with Maximilian Beier and Leon Goretzka lifting the tempo.
• Postmatch analysis flagged a lack of clear structure under Julian Nagelsmann and highlighted Antonio Rüdiger’s error‑strewn form as a concern.
