Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. 1. FC Koln get us underway at Wohninvest WESERSTADION.
- 5' 1. FC Koln has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 10' SV Werder Bremen 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.
- 12' Poor challenge from Dejan Ljubicic. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 17' Marvin Schwabe has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 22' 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 Florian Kainz suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' Poor challenge from Mitchell Weiser. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 28' Poor challenge from Mitchell Weiser. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 33' The 1. FC Koln bench stirs into life. Dejan Ljubicic is withdrawn and Jan Thielmann gets his opportunity.
- 33' Leonardo Bittencourt is having his name booked by the referee on 33.
- 34' Jan Thielmann is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dejan Ljubicic at the 34 minute mark.
- 36' 1. FC Koln is taking the lead after the goal scored by Steffen Tigges on 36.
- 41' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 41 minutes.
- 46' It is a substitution in SV Werder Bremen team. Leonardo Bittencourt is replaced by Romano Schmid on 46 minute.
- 48' Niklas Schmidt is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mitchell Weiser at the 48 minute mark.
- 53' 1. FC Koln looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Ragnar Ache scoring 1 goals.
- 58' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 61' Lee Buchanan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Anthony Jung on 61 minute.
- 66' Jens Stage has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 26 cards already picked up this season.
- 71' 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.
- 73' Goal! Romano Schmid scores his 16 goal in 222 matches.
- 74' Magnificent from Romano Schmid! That is 16 goals in 222 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 78' The 1. FC Koln bench stirs into life. Benno Schmitz is withdrawn and Kingsley Schindler gets his opportunity.
- 79' It’s a booking for SV Werder Bremen player. Jens Stage gets a Yellow card.
- 82' Poor challenge from Lee Buchanan. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 87' Both keepers have barely been tested. SV Werder Bremen and 1. FC Koln are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 89' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jonas Hector on 89.
- 90' Maximilian Philipp gets the nod from SV Werder Bremen. He replaces Marvin Ducksch and will look to change the dynamic.
- 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
