Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. VfL Osnabrück is hosting 1. FC Koln for another epic battle.
  • 5' A quiet spell here at Bremer Brucke. 1. FC Koln seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Haralambos Makridis, as he is very good at scoring at Bremer Brucke with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Christian Conteh has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 25.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 32' The referee calls foul for Florian Kleinhansl. He receives a card.
  • 37' Denis Huseinbasic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 42' 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.
  • 43' Benno Schmitz makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and 1. FC Koln are in front.
  • 45' It’s gonna be a card for Julian Chabot.
  • 50' Timo Hubers is having his name booked by the referee on 50.
  • 52' Fresh legs for 1. FC Koln! Sargis Adamyan comes on to replace Davie Selke.
  • 57' The supporters are chanting for Erik Engelhardt. He replaces Kwasi Okyere Wriedt on 57 minute.
  • 62' With 0 assists to his name this season, Luca Kilian is clearly more than just a goal scorer for VfL Osnabrück.
  • 66' Rasmus Carstensen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Denis Huseinbasic on 66 minute.
  • 71' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 73' Brilliant from the ! Haralambos Makridis makes it 0-2 with a superb finish on 73.
  • 78' 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.
  • 83' The travelling 1. FC Koln supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 87' Another change for 1. FC Koln made on 87 minute. Gian-Luca Waldschmidt leaves to be changed by Mark Uth.
  • The points are shared — VfL Osnabrück 1-3 1. FC Koln. Honours even.
