1. FC Köln and Fortuna Cologne separate 2-2 draws

The 1st FC Köln and Fortuna Cologne separated on Friday evening in the city duel with a 2-2 draw. Luca Waldschmidt and Davie Selke scored the goals for FC, while Marvin Mika put together a double pack for Fortuna Cologne.

The 1. FC Köln started the game with a lot of game control and was looking for the way to the front from the start. In the eighth minute, Dimitrios Limnios made the first shot for FC. But the home side did not hide either and almost came to the lead by a lupfer from Stipe Batarilo-Cerdic (16th). The game was subsequently balanced. Maxi Schmid came to a conclusion after a corner from Denis Huseinbasic, but his shot was blocked (25th).

A short time later, Schmid had the opportunity to end again, but Fortuna's keeper Felix Buer was able to parry (29th). In the 38th minute, Buer was lucky that a long -range shot from Limnios did not slip through his braces. Wäschenbach's flank was not able to place Sargis Adamyan precisely (41.).

After the break, 1st FC Köln increased the pressure, but initially had no success in front of the home side's goal. In the 55th minute that changed. Eric Martel played the ball to Limnios, who found Adamyan. Buer was able to parry the first degree, but was without chance with Luca Waldschmidt's margin. But Fortuna Cologne was not impressed by this and in the 71st minute achieved the equalization by Marvin Mika.

The Fortuna then turned the game in her favor. In the 82nd minute it was again Mika who scored 2-1. But substitute Davie Selke equalized a minute later (83.). Four minutes later, Selke scored another goal, which, however, did not count due to a supposed unfairness. In the final minute, Mark Uth had the opportunity to win, but his free kick only hit the latte.
