  • 5' VfL Osnabruck are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' Christian Santos, a Venezuela , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' 1. FC Koln 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.
  • 20' 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 Timo Beermann suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' 1. FC Koln is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' Lukas Gugganig is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for VfL Osnabruck so far.
  • 35' Niklas Schmidt has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 196 appearances.
  • 40' VfL Osnabruck started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.

  • 69' The whistle greets Salih Ozcan as he departs to be replaced by Jonas Hector.
