- 0' What a night it is going to be! 1. FC Koln welcome 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 for this crunch clash at RheinEnergieSTADION.
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 12' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Julian Chabot.
- 16' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Marvin Pieringer.
