Suddenly Cologne catches up! Kainz shoots a free kick from the left wing onto the first post. Thielmann goes to the ball with a long leg. He can’t get to it. But Krahl is influenced by this so that the goalkeeper gets the ball against his left leg, from where he jumps into the goal.

Tooor for 1. FC Kaiserslautern, 3-0 by Marlon Ritter
Ritter shows an outstanding performance today! Lautern has a free kick from 18 meters on the left. Ritter shoots the ball onto the goalkeeper’s corner with his inside right side. The great wall obstructs any view of Swabia. The goalkeeper speculates on a shot to the left. The ball hits half-high to the right of the post. That was very difficult for Swabian people. He is at most partially to blame.

Yellow card for Timo Hübers (1. FC Köln)
Kaiserslautern counterattacks all the way to the penalty area. Tachie passes the ball past Hübers. The Cologne player tackles his opponent so that he doesn’t run into the penalty area. That’s why you get yellow and a good free-kick position.

9:35 p.m
Half-time conclusion
Kaiserslautern leads 1-0 against Cologne at half-time. The Red Devils were the better team in the first 45 minutes. They gave Cologne a lot of the ball, but the guests couldn’t do anything with it. Instead, the FCK repeatedly developed good transition actions. The 1-0 came after Selke lost the ball. Cologne had two serious chances – each from a corner. Lauterer’s lead at halftime is deserved. Cologne has to come up with something for the second half.

Cologne initially has the ball a lot. Kaiserslautern is waiting for transition situations. When Cologne lost the ball for the first time, the home team took a corner straight away.
20:12
Steffen Baumgart only made one change to his starting eleven after the embarrassment against Leipzig. Schmitz starts at the back right instead of the ill Carstensen.
20:11
About the personnel: Dirk Schuster trusts the starting line-up at Kaiserslautern that was on the pitch against HSV on Saturday. The coach does not make any changes.
8:07 p.m
1. FC Cologne got off to a very bad start in the Bundesliga and even the derby win against Gladbach a week and a half ago couldn’t give Steffen Baumgart’s team any impetus. Last Saturday there was a setback again: Cologne lost 6-0 in Leipzig. The Cologne team mainly has problems on the offensive. Only seven goals were scored in nine games. This is the weakest result in the Bundesliga. Based on these statistics, Kaiserslautern is definitely not an outsider tonight.
8:03 p.m
Kaiserslautern plays at the top of the 2nd league. The Red Devils are in sixth place after eleven match days. Only three points are missing from a direct promotion place. Last Saturday the Lauterers played 3:3 against HSV. With 24 goals scored, Dirk Schuster’s team, together with Hannover 96, has the best offense in the league. The defense is the problem area: FCK has the fourth weakest defense with 21 goals conceded.

Hello and welcome to the 2nd round of the DFB Cup. Today at 8:45 p.m. 1. FC Kaiserslautern meets 1. FC Köln.
