Nonetheless, young players Nick Woltemade and Abdenego Nankishi scored, which was a highlight of an otherwise unsatisfactory afternoon.

Back and forth!

Another goal, another point and another game added to the unbeaten run: The bare facts after the game against 1. FC Köln don’t look too bad at all. But bare facts is all they are. In reality, the 1-1 draw left much to be desired. "A part of me is happy, because this is the kind of game we would have lost last season. But another part of me says that we gave them no more than one and a half chances...

A point on the road!

Frankfurt is never an easy place to go.
