Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. SV Werder Bremen kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 1. FC Koln is showing some good football. However, 1. FC Koln are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 7' Goal! Said El Mala scores his 3 goal in 147 matches.
  • 12' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 17' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 22' 1. FC Koln is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 24' The referee shows SV Werder Bremen player a card on 24.
  • 29' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 34' The travelling SV Werder Bremen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 39' 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 Felix Agu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' 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.
