"It was a competitive game with little chances. In the last third we were not purposeful enough," Hector said at Dazn and said to his misfortune: "I want to go back to the goalkeeper and play it too far forward Marvin Schwäbe did not come to the ball. "

The FC fell back to the eighth place with 40 points behind Union and could be passed on on the 28th game day. Taiwo Awoniyi (49th) brought Union the first threesome after last three games without victory.

The Berlin Cup semi-finalist, where FC-Coach Baumgart completed a total of 68 games from 2002 to 2004, increased its chances with the success of its opportunities for a new European Cup Adventure.

A first positive message had announced Union a few hours before the kick-off. Defender Robin Knoche extended his contract at the end of the season at the Iron. The FC contacted personal sors, among other things lacked the diseased scorer Anthony Modeste. Ex-Union Professional Sebastian Andersson ran as the only tip.

The pyro-fog in with 22,012 spectators for the first time since November since November at the ancient Försteri had barely warped himself, union would cheer almost for the first time. Awoniyi was launched and had only FC goalkeepers Marvin Schwäbe in front of him, the attacker put the ball too far (1.).

Long passports on the Nigerian remained a probate resource of the Berliner - initially with manageable success. Union lacked the accuracy in the passport, playful solutions against the stable Cologne defensive found the team of coach Urs Fischer hardly found. Chances such as by Sheraldo Becker (25.), who tried it according to good pass from Awoniyi from a pointed angle, had rarity. Otherwise, it became dangerously only from the distance: Rani Khedira narrowly grazed from about 25 meters (35th).

At the Cologne, the switching game haperted. The FC conquered many balls in midfield, but then ran in the center. Also over the outside Köln did not come through. Hector failed at the best Cologne chance in the first half of Union goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow (39th).

Shortly after the change of pages, the Cologne Captain was the focus: a failed return landed in the penalty area at Awoniyi. The leadership gave Union security. The Köpenickers appeared more and more frequently in front of the opposing gate and had possibilities for more hits.
