Joshua Kimmich scores stunner to salvage draw for Bayern
Bayern Munich needed a late goal from Joshua Kimmich to salvage a 1-1 draw at home against FC Koln on Tuesday as the 10-time Bundesliga champions continue to wait for their first win of 2023.

The 27-year-old's goal denied the visitors a statement victory, having taken the lead in the fourth minute thanks to a goal from Ellyes Skhiri. While FC Koln fended off Bayern's attacks for most of the match, they made a slight mistake towards the end of the game that Kimmich pounced on to equalize the scoring.
Even though the Bavarians have still not managed a victory since the start of the New Year, coach Julian Nagelsmann is confident that the much-awaited win will come. As quoted by AP, Nagelsmann said, "We played the way we imagined in the second half (against FC Koln). I’m sure we’ll get back to winning if we keep it up."
