Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for 1. FC Köln to score. At the same time, SC Freiburg does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Jhon Cordoba, a Colombia , has 33 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 12' 1. FC Koln player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 17' SC Freiburg are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 20' Jhon Cordoba picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Köln that had 400 games and scored 351 goals.
- 29' Sebastiaan Bornauw makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and 1. FC Koln are in front.
- 34' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His 1. FC Köln side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 39' 1. FC Köln currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 44' SC Freiburg is showing some good football. However, SC Freiburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 46' 1. FC Koln make a change. Noah Katterbach trudges off to be replaced by Benno Schmitz on 46 minutes.
- 50' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mark Uth.
- 55' A stunning finish from Jhon Cordoba — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 60' With 0 assists to his name this season, Lucas Holer is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SC Freiburg.

- 73' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 78' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
