Mid-term conclusion:
Break in Cologne – and after 45 minutes Effzeh is 2-1 behind Fehérvár! The game started very well from the point of view of the Domstädter. Cologne acted with pressure and took the lead through Dietz after 14 minutes. However, the turning point in the game followed just six minutes later: Chabot was sent off with a red card due to an emergency brake. After that, the hosts completely lost the thread and had to concede two goals from Zivzivadze (32nd) and Dárdai (40th). The billy goats should now take a break. Baumgart has to find the right words in the dressing room. See you soon!

Tooor for Fehérvár FC, 1-2 by Pal Dárdai
Unbelievable, Fehérvár turns the game! Zivzivadze can simply open up in the center and run towards the Cologne defence. Hübers moves out of the center and thus clears the way for the plug-in pass in the direction of Dárdai. The ex-Hertha player hits the ball from a tight angle from the left into the short corner! Schwäbe is caught on the wrong foot.

Tooor for Fehérvár FC, 1-1 by Budu Zivzivadze
But shortly afterwards, Fehérvár equalises! Négo is played in the right half field and can cross into the center without pressure. His sharp cross flies sharply into the six-yard box, where Zivzivadze prevails against Hübers and uses the bottom edge of the crossbar to head powerfully into the net!
31
21:01
the thickness 1:1 chance! Bamgboye is sent into the box with a chip behind the Cologne back four and emerges alone in front of Schwäbe. From eleven meters he puts the ball just under a meter to the left of the goal.

20:59
After a corner from the right, Larsen, who has moved up, heads a good bit over it.

Red card for Julian Chabot (1. FC Cologne)
Shortly after the hit, the Domstädter are outnumbered! Dárdai runs towards the last chain of the Cologne team and pokes the ball past Chabot, who is the last man to bring down the midfielder. Referee Martins pulls out red immediately. A reasonable decision.

Tooor for 1. FC Köln, 1:0 by Florian Dietz
The early lead for the Effzeh! Ljubicic switched quickly at the center line and played the ball with a touch down Dietz’s path, who held his own in the running duel and ran towards Kovács alone. Alone in front of the keeper, Cologne’s attacker stays cool and hits the right corner to make it 1-0!

Fehérvár FC is number two in Hungary behind record champions Ferencvaros, against whom they recently lost 4-0. The start of the season was a bit bumpy overall. After three games you only have three points in your account. The Hungarians will also be the underdog in the playoffs against 1. FC Köln. Above all, the big crowd in Müngersdorf could impress the players, as the German coach Michael Boris admits: “It’s going to be hot, loud and difficult. But my players should also enjoy this atmosphere.”
