That should have been the equalizer! Since the goal, Cologne have been playing in longer and longer phases against Leipzig, who are becoming more passive.

Yellow card for Marco Rose (RB Leipzig)
35′
7:05 p.m
What a double chance! Waldschmidt hits the inside post! The Cologne player doesn’t hit a cross from the right from Maina quite cleanly with his left after hitting it, so it hits the right inside post from six meters. In the follow-up shot at the left five-point corner, he hits Selke, who is offside and may stop the somewhat loose ball before it finds its way into the goal.

Cologne can try a corner kick from the right for the first time. Paqarada’s cross from the right to the left is extended by Henrichs from 6 meters in front of the free-standing Cologne player for a throw-in.
30′
7:01 p.m
The third time there is a corner for Leipzig, although they are more frequent in the penalty area, they are not quite as compelling. But slowly they want to earn the leadership.

Yellow card for Julian Chabot (1. FC Köln)
Chabot doesn’t want to give the ball away immediately after his own foul on the halfway line, so he gets a strict yellow card.
26′
18:57
Space comes with momentum over the left wing. He passes it half-high into the middle, where Chabot, with his leg pulled up, extends the cross just above Openda. The ball is passed into the backcourt from the right, but Hübers blocks the shot from 14 meters centrally at the five-pointer.

Space asserts itself in the bells and whistles and then sits half-high exactly in the wall.

Before Ljubicic can hit him, Simons falls so badly that he lands on Martel’s spread foot. It has to be dealt with, but there is a free kick from the central 21 meters for the hosts.

Paqarada takes the free kick from the left from 17 meters. But the chip is a little too loose and ends up in the wall, blocking it with his head.

Yellow card for Mohamed Simakan (RB Leipzig)
Before Waldschmidt can move into the box on the left, he is hit on the back of the foot by Simakan.

With the goal behind him, RaBa retreats into his own half.

Tooor for RB Leipzig, 1-0 by Timo Werner
Werner certainly transforms! He chooses the inside right corner for the right corner. Schwäbe jumps into the left corner from the shooter’s perspective. The ball hits halfway.
13′
18:43
Penalty for Leipzig! First Martel misses the ball, then he pulls the opponent down. After a simple ball from the keeper, MArtel had jumped too far forward. When Haïdara steals the ball from him, he automatically pulls it downwards with his hand around it as he falls. The midfielder takes advantage of this and takes the penalty.
9′
6:39 p.m
At FC there is a promising counterattack for the first time. On the left side of the touchline, Waldschmidt failed to pass behind the chain on the counterattack. There would have been more in a four-on-four game.
6′
6:37 p.m
Simons also signs up. He controls a high ball once and then lets it fall from above. From 17 meters to the right, he then presses the half-volley with his right into the top right corner, but Schwäbe is there with his fists. A goalkeeper ball and yet the audience is happy about the good shooting technique.
3′
6:35 p.m
Schwäbe has to be there for the first time: Henrichs plays from the halfway line with the left from the right straight forward. On the right in the penalty area, the attacker pulls up directly with his right and Schwäbe taps the difficult volley to the left to the corner to be on the safe side.
1′
6:31 p.m
The FC kicks off and immediately shows the motto: The ball is sent straight forward. Maina doesn’t reach the ball, which is too sharp, but runs through and attacks Blaswich aggressively.
18:27
Before we get started, a quick look at the table: Cologne has slipped to 17th place due to the results of the matchday so far, but can improve to 13th with a win. With the three, Leipzig would at least temporarily jump to the four. They are currently in sixth place with 17 points.
5:59 p.m
Marco Rose, a friend of the opponents, is sitting in the dugout. “We know what to expect in terms of basic order, approach and intensity. They are an unpleasant opponent who creates a lot of pressure. It will be a very intense, open game with little controlled phases,” he is also aware of Cologne’s predictable attitude.
5:57 p.m
FC coach Steffen Baumgart is of course not happy at 16th place in the table and emphasizes that there are still many steps to follow: “We still only have four points. We have to keep scoring,” he says, emphasizing, as almost always, that you want to stay true to your own game regardless of the opponent.
17:51
Overall, FC is having a really hard time scoring their own goals, especially after the game: 5 of the 7 goals came from set pieces, three of which were penalties by Kainz. The only shooter from the game is Luca Waldschmidt, who took the lead against Wolfsburg (1:2) and the decision against Gladbach.
5:48 p.m
As already described, FC had success in the Rhine derby against Borussia Mönchengladbach last week. At 3-1, Cologne were clearly the better team. However, it still took two penalties from Florian Kainz to capitalize on their superiority. Previously they only collected one point in seven games, also because the efficiency was just as weak as seven days ago.
5:42 p.m
Finally, after two draws in the league against Bayern (2:2) and Bochum (0:0), RaBa won 3-1 at Darmstadt on the last matchday. During the week they won 3-1 against Red Star Belgrade (3-1) in the Champions League on Wednesday.
5:41 p.m
After the highly emotional derby on the last match day, the FC in Leipzig is faced with a spooky contrast program. With their first win of the season under their belt, there will be no organized fan scene in Leipzig in the late Saturday game against one of the top teams in the league. The hosts were also able to build up some momentum last week.
