Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Eintracht Frankfurt and 1. FC Köln has kicked off!
  • 5' Robin Koch, a Germany , has 36 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 15' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Eintracht Frankfurt and 1. FC Köln are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 20' Eintracht Frankfurt started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 24' Mario Gotze picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 29' Eintracht Frankfurt are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined 1. FC Köln backline.
  • 34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Köln that had 405 games and scored 355 goals.
  • 39' The referee has no hesitation. Lilian Brassier is booked for Eintracht Frankfurt — card on 39.
  • 44' 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 Isak Johannesson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' That is a card for 1. FC Koln. Isak Johannesson will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
  • 55' The energy levels are beginning to show. René Wagner might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 60' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 65' It’s high time René Wagner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 68' 1. FC Koln make a change. Isak Johannesson trudges off to be replaced by Paul Okon-Engstler on 68 minutes.
  • 71' Fresh legs for Eintracht Frankfurt! Noel Aseko Nkili comes on to replace Mario Gotze.
  • 76' Eintracht Frankfurt has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 77' The Germany forward Younes Ebnoutalib breaks the deadlock on 77 minutes. 1-0!
  • 82' Elias Baum is replacing Jonathan Burkardt for the Eintracht Frankfurt side.
  • 84' A tactical swap from 1. FC Koln — Reigan Heskey on, Said El Mala off on 84 minutes.
  • 89' 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.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Borna Sosa. He receives a card.
  • Full Time. Eintracht Frankfurt beats 1. FC Köln
