A win, a win, a win!!!
By: Matthias | May 9th, 2009After twelve difficult weeks without a win 1899 earned its second of the Rückrunde, defeating Köln 2-0 at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena. While the victory comes too late for European football, it was an important step after the recent fallout surrounding Ralf Rangnick, management and needed invest
The match started highly defensive as Köln blanketed 1899’s advances and what chances occurred were via Sejad Salihović. Following a scoreless opening half, 1899 adjusted into a 4-2-2-2 and after coming close early, Salihović’s free-kick from twenty-five metres curled into the top right corner of the net to make it 1-0. Köln, who seem to be thinking more of next year when “their captain arrives from Bayern”, offered little going forward and with twenty-two minutes remaining Demba Ba drove the ball in from twenty-metres to make it 2-0. The lead could have been extended with eleven minutes left after the penalty was awarded for Ba being brought but Boubacar Sanogo couldn’t convert but regardless the match ended 2-0 in 1899’s favour.
