The last minute of the game is running, there will probably be no stoppage time.

87th Minute:
Cologne continues to play cheerfully in the last few minutes and is still physically present.
Thielmann sees the yellow card shortly before the end.
84th minute: The decision in Kiel! After a throw-in, Drexler fixes the ball and places it on Skhiri, who throws the ball directly into the net with the inside to make it 1: 5. The four required Kiel hits are probably utopian.

Again almost the next goal for the billy goats!
Gelios steers a low shot from Duda just around the post, the Cologne team could lead much higher.
A minute later, the substitute Drexler is up and away, Gelios comes out perfectly again and parries again.
75th minute:
What else do the Kiel have to offer in the last quarter of an hour?
71st Minute:
Again Kiel comes to one of the moderately presented attacks, Lee's pass to the top is much too imprecise, the Cologne clear to the corner.
This brings in no more than a failed header.
66th Minute:
It is becoming clearer to the Kielers from minute to minute that the ascent cannot be achieved with today's performance.
Three hits are still missing, but the storks have no access at all offensively today.
62nd Minute:
And again Andersson!
After a strong pass from Wolf, the striker comes to the end from a central position, but Gelios is ready again.
The keeper prevents a debacle for his team today, which cannot free itself from Cologne's stranglehold.

39th minute: Suddenly the next TOOOR falls! 1. FC Köln just keep going and make it 4-1. After a winning header duel, the ball lands at the feet of Rafael Czichos, who simply pulls it off and hits the Kreuzeck. However, he also benefits from the fact that Kiele's election is slipping away.
36th Minute:
Reese and Lee try to refuel, but the Cologne back team is immediately behind the ball and clears the situation.

Kiel's Porath sees yellow after a foul in midfield, the home side is currently not thinking much except for a few counterattacks.
29th Minute:
At least one shot of Wahl results from the subsequent free-kick flank, Kiel remains on the counterattack in this phase of the game.
26th Minute:
Now the fouls in the Kiel half pile up, after one of the Stardards Hector comes to the header - but this does not go in the direction of the housing for once.
On the other side, the Kiel counter, Porath is laid by Bornauw, whereupon the Cologne sees the yellow card.
Now the storks have a chance with a free kick.

Cologne are strong against the ball and, in contrast to the first leg, are happy to play, Kiel does not really come through.

The starting position for the candidate for promotion from Schleswig-Holstein is clear: With a draw or a win, the first Bundesliga membership would be wrapped up.
Especially the away goal could give the Kielers the necessary serenity for the already nerve-wracking game.
The defensive performance of the storks was also satisfactory and encourages us for Saturday.
"We defended everything away and that's why we're going into the second leg with a small advantage," said veteran Fin Bartels, summarizing his team's performance.

But the Cologne team has already caused one or two surprises this season and could make clear the direct relegation with a win with more than one self-scored goal.
That Friedhelm Funkel's team can also beat tough opponents was last shown in mid-April when they beat RB Leipzig * 2-1.
However, it was difficult against equal opponents from the lower table region.
Should the Effzeh not hold the class, this would mean the seventh Bundesliga relegation for the traditional club *.
