    I'm late with this update. I didn't expect too much excitement from FC Köln, but they were attacking, although we looked the better team. Anastasios Donis got his first goal with the club. The defender looked to have pushed him off the ball as he got through, but he struck it as he fell and bounced it past the keeper. We missed a few chances after that, but it seemed it wouldn't matter. Then an Akolo give away put them on the break. We seemed to get back, but a defender found some space on the edge of the box. He curled a beauty into the upper side netting. A defender hit that? What a bad break. It seemed the last bad break would be ours as well. We were called for a penalty in the 88th minute when the attacker was the one who initiated the contact. Blown call, but it went to video review. The TV ref saved us from that fate. I was still thanking the gods for one point when Akolo made a run down the middle in late stoppage time. A slight deflection wrong footed the keeper and the miracle 3 points were ours.

    Thanks for posting! I didn't see the match live, but only the last 15 minutes or so on a repeat. That was absolutely crazy!
