Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Eintracht Frankfurt to score. At the same time, 1. FC Koln does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 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.
- 10' Ragnar Ache has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' It’s high time René Wagner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 22' Eintracht Frankfurt player sees a card in front of him.
- 27' 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.
- 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 37' It looks like no one’s ball. Eintracht Frankfurt is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 42' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 47' Tom Krauss needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Eintracht Frankfurt that had 515 games and scored 612 goals.
- 55' Time for substitution for Eintracht Frankfurt. Oscar Hojlund is replaced by Fares Chaibi.
- 56' Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ansgar Knauff on 56 minute.

- 75' 1. FC Koln manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Linton Maina is hanging Jan Thielmann on the field on 75 minute.
- 80' 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 Robin Koch suffering a number of foals already.
- 82' Another change for 1. FC Koln made on 82 minute. Tom Krauss leaves to be changed by Alessio Castro-Montes.
- 83' What an equalizer from Alessio Castro-Montes!
