Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and 1. FC Köln launch into their encounter with Borussia Dortmund.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Axel Witsel suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Sebastiaan Bornauw, a Belgium defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' 1. FC Köln have won 351 goals from 401 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 20' The 36-year-old Rafael Czichos has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 25' 1. FC Köln seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 29' Dominick Drexler makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and 1. FC Koln are in front.
- 34' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Achim Beierlorzer will be considering his options from the bench.
- 39' The home supporters are growing impatient. 1. FC Köln must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 44' The travelling Borussia Dortmund supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' Controversy at the stadium! Birger Verstraete argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 55' The whistle greets Jhon Cordoba as he departs to be replaced by Simon Terodde.
- 58' A moment of madness from Lukasz Piszczek on 58 minutes earns him a Yellow card. BV Borussia 09 Dortmund will be frustrated.
- 62' The supporters are chanting for Achraf Hakimi. He replaces Nico Schulz on 62 minute.
- 67' Jonas Hector is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Borussia Dortmund so far.
- 70' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jadon Sancho makes it 0-2.
- 74' Another change for 1. FC Koln made on 74 minute. Kingsley Schindler leaves to be changed by Florian Kainz.
- 79' It looks surprising Borussia Dortmund does not make any changes. Julian Brandt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 81' 1. FC Koln manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marco Hoger is hanging Anthony Modeste on the field on 81 minute.
- 85' Jacob Bruun Larsen is replacing Thorgan Hazard for the BV Borussia 09 Dortmund side.
- 86' GOAL! Achraf Hakimi scores on 86. Assisted by Lukasz Piszczek
- 90' Kingsley Ehizibue has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
- Full Time. Borussia Dortmund beats 1. FC Köln
