Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and 1. FC Koln launch into their encounter with VfL Wolfsburg.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. 1. FC Koln and VfL Wolfsburg are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' The travelling VfL Wolfsburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Maxence Lacroix needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. VfL Wolfsburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' 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 John Brooks suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' VfL Wolfsburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' It looks surprising VfL Wolfsburg does not make any changes. Salih Ozcan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 43' Against the run of play, Yannick Gerhardt has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 44' Yannick Gerhardt doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 49' With 0 assists to his name this season, Maximilian Arnold is clearly more than just a goal scorer for VfL Wolfsburg.
  • 50' Controversy at the stadium! Lukas Nmecha argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 55' What a strike from Lukas Nmecha! The score is 0-3.
  • 60' It’s high time Steffen Baumgart made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 62' The 1. FC Koln bench stirs into life. Jan Thielmann is withdrawn and Dejan Ljubicic gets his opportunity.
  • 67' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 68' The VfL Wolfsburg bench stirs into life. Mickey van de Ven is withdrawn and Aster Vranckx gets his opportunity.
  • 73' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Steffen Baumgart will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 78' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 78 minutes.
  • 81' A change in the 1. FC Koln ranks — Florian Kainz exits the field as Louis Schaub enters on 81.
  • 86' Over 86 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 87' The 1. FC Koln manager makes a substitution. Luca Kilian departs to be replaced by Tim Lemperle.
  • 90' Bartosz Bialek is replacing Jonas Wind for the VfL Wolfsburg side.
  • 90' A moment of madness from Bartosz Bialek on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. VfL Wolfsburg will be frustrated.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for 1. FC Koln and VfL Wolfsburg (для сухой ничьи).
