Cologne U21 promises gripping duel against Oberhausen - all information!
The U21 of the 1st FC Köln played an exciting draw against SC Paderborn on the 19th matchday of the Regionalliga West. The match ended 2-2, despite an interim 2-1 lead of the Cologne. The U17 world champion Justin von der Hitz scored the two goals of the Cologne team, who drew attention to himself again with his impressive performance. In particular, the first half was characterized by careful palpation, in which both teams did not make a goal.
The Cologne reserve had to get by in this game without the players Neo Telle and Emin Kujovic who were in the professional squad. Oliver Schmitt had the first real chance in the 7th minute, but the gate only fell after the half -time break.
key moments of the game
in the 49th minute Paderborn scored the 1-0 by Travis de Jong after a throw -in and initially brought the Cologne in distress. Cologne captain Marco Höger prevented a possible 2-0 for Paderborn in the 74th minute and showed enormous defensive qualities. But the turn came with the equalization in the 76th minute, when Justin von der Hitz impressively carried out after a precise flank by Teoman Akmestanli. Just five minutes later, in the 81st minute, the Hitz with his second goal took care of the Cologne leadership.
Unfortunately, this leadership was not enough for victory. In added time, more precisely in the 90th+5 minute, Paderborn equalized by Henrik Koch, which left a bitter aftertaste with the Cologne. However, according to coach Evangelos Sbonia's performance, the Cologne team did not bring the hoped -for three points.
list and outlook
The Cologne line -up included Blazic in the goal, supported by Krautkrämer, Sponsel, Özkan and Akmestanli in defense. Höger and Strauch acted in midfield, while Saliger, Kristal and Schmitt provided the offensive power. As a central figure, Pinto was responsible for the back team. It is worth noting that Blazic stood between the posts because Kujovic was in the professional squad.
In the table, the U21 of 1. FC Köln is now in 8th place in the Regionalliga West with 23 points from 15 games. A victory against the upcoming challenge, Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, could help to regain a place in the upper half of the table. It is also expected that Cologne players like Meiko Sponsel will return after his yellow lock, which will offer additional options for coaches Sbonias.
The next coming game against Oberhausen will be an important opportunity for the Cologne team to initiate the turn and use the positive aspects of the game against Paderborn. Both teams also have to take their past encounters into account, because Rot-Weiß Oberhausen has been unbeaten for five games and is in the 3rd place with 32 points.
Marlon Monning has meanwhile announced that he will leave 1. FC Köln and switch to Türkspor Dortmund, which represents another exciting development for young people.
The U21 will compete again in the Franz-Kremer Stadium on Saturday, November 30th and hopes to show their shape and strength to survive against a strong team. The trainer has emphasized that you can play your own strengths and will do everything possible to be successful.
