  • 5' The travelling 1. FC Köln supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 8' That is a Yellow card for 1. FC Koln. Lasse Sobiech will be fuming at that decision.
  • 13' 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 Christian Gentner suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FC Köln needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 28' Over 28 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 33' What a moment for Sebastian Andersson! That strike on 33 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 38' 1. FC Köln is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 43' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His 1. FC Union Berlin side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 45' Kingsley Ehizibue picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' Another change for 1. FC Koln made on 46 minute. Kingsley Ehizibue leaves to be changed by Louis Schaub.
  • 50' What a moment for Sebastian Andersson! That strike on 50 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 60' 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.
  • 63' Marius Bulter is ready to make an impact after coming on for Sebastian Polter at the 63 minute mark.
  • 65' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Dominick Drexler.
  • 69' A change in the 1. FC Koln ranks — Marco Hoger exits the field as Florian Kainz enters on 69.

  • 81' 1. FC Union Berlin player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 86' 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.
  • 87' 1. FC Union Berlin manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Felix Kroos is hanging Robert Andrich on the field on 87 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for 1. FC Union Berlin players.
