Union Berlin missed out on continuing its soaring in the German Bundesliga.
The capital city club has to be content with a 2-2 away match at 1.FC Köln due to a late equalization, only a few minutes without conceding a goal separate the Köpernickers from the sensational jump to 4th place. ÖFB legionnaire Christopher Trimmel, usually captain, is 90 this time Minutes on the bench. Florian Kainz trumps in Cologne.
Things are going well early on in the game. Anthony Modeste brings the billy goats into the lead in the 7th minute. ÖFB legionnaire Florian Kainz slams the ball from 30 meters onto the crossbar, the striker dusts off humorlessly. The joy only lasts for a short time. After winning the ball, Union combines forward, Ryerson then hits the short corner – 1: 1 (9th).
After a foul by Huebner on Awoniyi, penalties are checked, but the VAR denies. Immediately before the break, Union strikes again. After a mistake by Czichos, Prömel and Haraguchi play a one-two, the former converts slightly to 2: 1 (45th + 1).
Cologne captain Hector has equalized after a Kainz free kick on the head, but narrowly forgives. So it has to be done by Modeste again. The top striker breaks away with a corner kick from Kainz and heads into the far corner – the second assist of the ÖFB player, who this time is not in Franco Foda’s squad for the November internationals. Kainz himself missed the chance of victory just two minutes later. Dejan Ljubicic also plays through for the home side.
Union Berlin ranks 8th due to the draw, Cologne is eleventh with three points less.
