End 1st half

21:21
Dominique Heintz bites the teeth. At least until the approaching break it will work.
45.
21:21
Tim Lemperle and Dominique Heintz rattle together in an effort around the ball. Both remain lie at first. Then at least the first thing to do is get more. Heintz must be treated.
45.
21:18
No way to get past Swabia! Fisnik Asllani gets the ball near the box near the penalty area, prevails well there and pulls off the penalty area. Marvin Schwäbe parries this legal shot in the long corner again.
45.
21:16
Added time: 5 minutes are re -enacted.
42.
21:12
Var: There is no penalty.
But Eric Martel’s right arms were not hit. His left arm was completely laid out when the ball landed. Felix Zwayer is called to the monitor and recognizes his error there. The penalty is collected, it continues with referee ball.
42.
21:11
The VAR checks a possible penalty. Eric Martel has thrown himself in a shot from Bazoumana Touré in the sixteen. Felix Zwayer decides on a penalty.
41.
21:10
Strong campaign by El Mala! Saïd El Mala competes in a half -left position, hits a short hook towards the middle and fires from about 18 meters with his right foot. The ball flies over the gate.
39.
21:08
Yellow card for Wouter Burger (1899 Hoffenheim)
For the third time in this game, Jan Thielmann is stretched down. This time Wouter Burger is the excess offender and he is also considered with yellow. In the meantime, however, Thielmann is very invited and complains that he has to take so much here.
36.
21:07
Despite mutual efforts, the game flattened. You are neutralizing. We have been lacking in targeted goal finishes for more than ten minutes.
34.
21:06
In this phase, the guests intensify their efforts, take more forward again and thus employ the opponent, who can not concentrate on the game forward without exception.
31.
21:03
As a result of a throw -in by Sebastian Sebulonsen from the left side, Kristoffer Lund extends with head. The ball flies towards the box in a high arc. Oliver Baumann catches without any major problems, but then has to lean on the post briefly with his back. It all happens in a controlled manner.
29.
21:02
So the climber always comes to balls. So it is not the case that the Cologne team would rest on the lead.
27.
21:01
Without question, the TSG has digested the gap, is now even the more active team. The possession of the ball now speaks for the Kraichgauer. So far, the Cologne residents are very strong against the duels.
25.
20:54
Yellow card for Moritz Volz (1899 Hoffenheim)
There are theater on the coaching benches. Two C coaches of both teams get into their wool. Felix Zwayer hurries to them, takes both to the chest and distributes a yellow card to Moritz Volz.
25.
20:54
Yellow card for Frank Kaspari (1. FC Köln)
The Cologne assistant coach Frank Kaspari is also warned.
24.
20:54
Swabia strong again! It is precisely that Bazoumana Touré, in a beautiful attack by the hosts, is staged as the last station to the left of the goal area, free of charge. Again Marvin Schwäbe is on the spot and parried very well for the second time today.
23.
20:53
Then Bazoumana Touré goes on the front, holds against Joël Schmied. And the TSG striker already has yellow, will have to be careful from now on.
22.
20:53
Then Hoffenheim is a bit of space. Tim Lemperle is on the advertising. Two or three teammates go right. That would be an overpayment situation. But the ball does not get through there.
20.
20:49
Yellow card for Bernardo (1899 Hoffenheim)
Once again Jan Thielmann is the victim, Bernardo is now fouled. The Brazilian collects his first yellow card of the season.
18.
20:47
So far, the efficiency has made the difference with a chance to score. The cathedral townsmen used this ice cold. As a result, the TSG runs afterwards, but initially does not bring any reaction.
16.
20:45
Tooor for 1. FC Köln, 0: 1 by Saïd el Mala
At the center line, Eric Martel conquered the ball against Wouter Burger and introduces a rapid attack. Saïd El Mala does this practically alone, marches into the sixteen on the left, lets three or four Hoffenheimers prick and shoot half -left in the box with his right foot through the legs of Oliver Baumann. What a solo! For the 19-year-old, this means the second goal in the Bundesliga.
14.
20:44
On the other hand, the home side spoke up again. Tim Lemperle appears in the box. The former Cologne is looking for a gap. The attempt to shot on the long corner is blocked.
13.
20:44
Ísak Jóhannesson takes care of the still open Cologne free kick in a half -right position, but shoots well above the box of Oliver Baumann from about 19 meters.
12.
20:43
For Bazoumana Touré that was the first warning in this Bundesliga season. Thielmann is then treated for a long time, only now rises again and will apparently try to continue playing here.
10.
20:39
Yellow card for Bazoumana Touré (1899 Hoffenheim)
Jakub Kamiński brings the risks of this game for the Effzeh from left. Oliver Baumann clarifies by defense. Jan Thielmann follows in a half -right position and is very painfully hit by Bazoumerana Touré when attempted shooting, which gives the yellow card.
8.
20:38
Afterwards, the Cologne -based players collect playing plays and have more possession up to this point. In the meantime, all of this is running out quite slowly. So the opposing defensive cannot be brought out of balance.
6.
20:37
First top chance! Suddenly the TSG appears in the penalty area. The ball falls in front of the feet of Muhammed Damar in a slightly turned position, which targets the right corner with his right foot. Marvin Schwäbe brilliantly parries the shot from about eleven meters.
4.
20:36
Now comes in for the first time. The guests attack on the left. Saïd el Mala reaches the sixteen, but slips away when trying to shot and is very clear.
3.
20:35
Precision is also the subject of the hosts. This also goes off to the Kraichgauer, which is why offensive efforts get stuck in the base.
2.
20:33
Initially, the Cologne people look more effort and are now looking forward for the first time. Sebastian Sebulonsen crosses from the right. But there is still a lack of accuracy.
1.
20:30
Referee Felix Zwayer has just released the game, the home side are pushing. The stadium is at least one third with Cologne followers. The guest fans provide great atmosphere.

20:29
Start of the game
20:24
The last time both clubs 2023/2024 got to do with each other. At that time you separated 1: 1 here. In the season before, the Effzeh celebrated an away win in Sinsheim (1: 3). And another year the last Hoffenheim home success against Cologne is back. Almost exactly four years ago it was a hearty 5: 0.
20:18
Cologne has been winless for three games, won at least one point before 1: 2 against Stuttgart and the 1: 3 in Leipzig in Wolfsburg (3: 3). The last three was against Freiburg at the end of August (4: 1). The last successful guest appearance was a 1-0 in Mainz a week before. Together with the 2-1 in the trophy near Jahn Regensburg, the Rhinelander had succeeded in a brilliant start to the season. The engine then stuttered.
20:10
The Hoffenheimers ran all three competitive victories of this season-in the DFB Cup with Hansa Rostock (4: 0) and in the Bundesliga near Bayer Leverkusen (2: 1) and at Union Berlin (4: 2). After the 1-1 last in Freiburg, you are still unbeaten when traveling. Only this does not help the Kraichgauer today – in view of the sobering home record with the two bankruptcies against Frankfurt (1: 3) and Munich (1: 4). So the last three at home goes back to April and a 2-0 against Mainz. Since then it has set four home defeats across the season.
20:01
Two tied teams face each other here and each have seven points in the account. The better goal difference gives effzeh (10: 9) the seventh place, the TSG is tenth. The Cologne team scored one more goal and collected two less. Both teams have the opportunity to temporarily climb fourth place with a win.
19:46
Compared to the 1-1 last Sunday in Freiburg, Christian Ilzer takes three changes. Instead of Alexander Prass, Arthur Chaves and Andrej Kramarić (all bank), Albian Hajdari, Muhammed Damar and ex-Kölner Tim Lemperle go to the Hoffenheim starting eleven. On the part of the guests, after the 1-2 home bankruptcy against Stuttgart five days ago, there are also three changes. Tom Krauss, Ragnar Ache and Linton Maina can be found on Cologne Bank. For this, Łukasz Kwasniok today ordered Dominique Heintz, Kristoffer Lund and Saïd El Mala on the pitch from the start.
19:35
Welcome to the Bundesliga! The sixth matchday is coming up in the German football upper house. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and the 1st FC Köln open this Friday. The kick -off should take place at 8:30 p.m.
