64′

9:53 p.m

20 minutes have passed in the second section and the changeover phase is slowly beginning. Can the Jokers bring new momentum again?

61′

9:51 p.m

Good minutes from Werder! First, Stage is just blocked on the left side of the six-yard box. On the following corner, Hübers almost scored an own goal with his head – the shot just flew past the post on the left. Then, with a bit of luck, the ball lands at Stage eight meters in front of the goal. Its direct acceptance whizzes over it.

58′

9:46 p.m

And it goes on.

55′

9:44 p.m

Almost as usual, the match is briefly interrupted because tennis balls fly onto the court. The electric toy cars are new: Cologne fans control small vehicles that always drive back to the field.

53′

9:40 p.m

…the stationary ball fizzles out.

52′

9:39 p.m

The Schultz troop comes out of the cabins with steam. Now it’s Schmitz who takes a corner kick from the right…

49′

9:37 p.m

Martel! A short free kick lands as a cross from the half field to Hübers at five. The central defender’s lay-off ends up on the right side of the six-yard box with Martel. Friedl just blocked the shot from the turn.

48′

9:36 p.m

With a cross from the right, Stage finds his colleague Ducksch on the edge of the penalty area. His header is no problem for Schwäbe from a distance.

46′

9:34 p.m

Things will continue without any personnel changes.

9:34 p.m

Kick-off of the 2nd half

45′+2

9:19 p.m

Half-time conclusion:
Break in Müngersdorf, the score is still goalless between 1. FC Köln and Werder Bremen. The game got off to a furious start – the Weser team in particular generated two notable goals in the first 40 seconds. Afterwards the level became increasingly flat and both defensive lines acted extremely concentrated and compact. As a result, there was hardly even an interesting goal area scene. It was only towards the end of the first half that the Billy Goats had a few shots on goal, although none of them were really compelling. We don’t see a boring encounter, but it could easily be a little more offensive. It remains exciting, see you soon!

9:17 p.m

End of 1st half

45′

9:16 p.m

Official added time (minutes): 1

44′

9:15 p.m

Maina muddles through near the left goal line, but his cross pass into the middle tumbles past friend and foe. Something was definitely possible.

41′

9:12 p.m

For the first time, the hosts win a corner. Kainz’s cross from the left doesn’t cause any danger.

38′

9:08 p.m

It is noticeable that the North Germans are currently hardly counterattacking. The pace is constantly slowed down.

35′

9:05 p.m

Now Zetterer has to really get to work. The keeper easily defuses Ljubicic’s 19-meter attempt.

33′

9:03 p.m

The Müngersdorfers again. This time it is Thielmann, whose shot from 18 meters from half-right flies over the short corner.

31′

9:03 p.m

Kainz! In direct response, it is the Austrian who is left blank in the penalty area after a high pass from Ljubicic. From 14 meters he has to take a heavy dropkick that rushes over the box.

31′

9:01 p.m

Bremen twice: First Schmid gets stuck in the box on the right after a Ducksch template with a final attempt. Shortly afterwards, Weiser couldn’t get through with a cross from the right wing.

29′

8:59 p.m

By the way, nothing happens after the balls are at rest. Ducksch’s crosses repeatedly land in Schwäbe’s arms. The red and whites, on the other hand, do not generate any standards at all.

26′

20:56

Yellow card for Romano Schmid (Werder Bremen)

…and Schmid on the other side see yellow.

26′

20:56

Yellow card for Florian Kainz (1. FC Köln)

Kainz and Schmid clash when the Cologne player fouls. Kainz on the one hand…

24′

8:55 p.m

We haven’t been able to admire a finish for around 20 minutes. Cologne has a lot of possession of the ball, but doesn’t get through very often. On the other side, Werder’s counterattacks regularly come to nothing.

21′

20:52

There was more in it for the guests! Agu finds Schmid, who is relatively free at the five-point position, with a strong through ball. Instead of looking for a finish, he tries a heel placement in the direction of Ducksch. But Finkgräfe smells the roast, so he intervenes.

18′

8:49 p.m

In the meantime, the initial pace of the encounter has slowed down significantly. Both the Rheienländer and the Weserstädter are having a very difficult time against the opposing defensive lines.

15′

8:45 p.m

Martel is on the ground with the Cologne team. Unfortunately he was hit in the ankle by Stage with the open sole. The midfielder bites his teeth at first.

12′

20:42

The hosts keep the ball in their own ranks for a long time. Just when it looks as if a breakthrough could be achieved on the left wing, Thielmann plays the ball out of bounds.

10′

8:40 p.m

It is interesting that both Effzeh and Werder press high and wait to win the ball early. Werner’s troops in particular attacked aggressively.

7′

8:37 p.m

Both sides start refreshingly offensive and attacking. The people of Cologne are also fully involved here.

4′

8:34 p.m

Friedl appears to have hurt himself. The defender easily gets caught in the grass when taking a long step during a defensive action. But first he has to move on.

1′

8:32 p.m

Let’s get started – with two good actions from Bremen! First, Ducksch takes a high ball from the right half of the field with his chest on the central edge of the sixteen-yard box. His dropkick rushes right over the crease. Just a few seconds later it is Ducksch again, who is free 16 meters in front of Schwäbe after a pass from half-right. However, the shot is too central to cause problems for the goalkeeper.

8:15 p.m

On the other hand, the North Germans’ high flight recently came to an abrupt end. After three wins in a row, including the sensational three-pointer at FC Bayern Munich (1-0), they suffered a home defeat at home against 1. FC Heidenheim 1848 (1-2). The SVW shouldn’t have to look towards staying in the league anymore – after all, the lead over Cologne and therefore in 16th place is already ten points. If so, then it’s tempting to look up: Eintracht from Frankfurt is six points away from sixth place. But it is also clear that the quiet European dreams must be successful today.

19:59

Compared to the previous weeks and months, the Domstadt team’s form curve is clearly pointing upwards. They got a total of five points from the last three games and even scored three points at home against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-0). The draws at VfL Wolfsburg and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim (1:1) are also quite impressive – although they may not be enough given the standings in the table. There, five points separate them from the saving bank and 1. FC Union Berlin. Nevertheless: With a home three points today, the pressure on the Iron Men (which will be required in Hoffenheim tomorrow) could be great.

7:47 p.m

The guests form a five-man chain in front of keeper Zetterer with Agu, Jung, Friedl, Malatini and Weiser. Lynen clears in the center, Stage and Schmid are a little more offensive. Woltemade and Ducksch should score goals up front.

19:42

Let’s first look at the lineups of both teams. The home team starts with Schwäbe in goal, in front of whom a four-man chain consisting of Finkgräfe, Hübers, Kilian and Schmitz defends. Huseinbašić and Martel act on the double six, with Ljubicic, Kainz and Maina in front of them feeding striker Thielmann.
