BVB (Borussia Dortmund) vs. 1. FC Köln: Bundesliga NOW in the live ticker – 0:0
48. Both teams come out of the dressing room unchanged. The slightly injured Sabitzer is back on the lawn.
46. On we go. The second round is in progress.
Halftime There are whistles from the stands as both teams move towards the players’ tunnel. Although BVB had a lot more of the game visually, they completely missed the penetrating power. The home side created a good opportunity through Brandt. Cologne had the best opportunity of the game in the person of Selke, whose shot was deflected off the crossbar by Süle. Terzic has to come up with something for the second half.

before the start Steffen Baumgart changes his starting XI to two positions compared to the cup game in Osnabrück. In midfield, Carstensen and Ljubicic replaced Olesen and Husenbasic (both bench) from the start.
45th + 2nd Then Aytekin whistles for the break.
45. Two more minutes are replayed.
43. Sabitzer touches his right hip and seems to feel something. At first, however, he continues to play normally and cannot be treated. The medical department will probably take a closer look at that at half-time.
41. There was more in it. Brandt frees Malen on the left with a strong diagonal ball, but then gets caught by Hübers in a one-on-one. Bensebaini ran behind the Dutchman but didn’t get the ball. Bottle decision of painting.
38. In the meantime, BVB has at least managed to establish itself around and on the opposing sixteen for a long time. The last ball, which conjures up the danger of scoring, is missing.
36. Haller in the storm center has been hanging in the air so far. Hübers and Chabot take the Ivorian out of the game – the striker can hardly get his foot on the ball.
34. Around 72 percent Ballbeistz for BVB, who gets along a little better with the Cologne team who have moved up a bit. Nevertheless, it remains a tough job to find the gaps in the back team of the Rhinelanders.
32. The game is picking up speed. Brandt hits a corner kick from the right side of the near post, where Reus extends his head and almost gives Hummels the big chance in the five. However, the central defender misses the ball with his head by a hair’s breadth.
30. First good degree from Dortmund. Bensebaini gets through to Brandt from the left halffield, who takes the ball with him in one movement and then shoots it from eight meters and an acute angle. However, Schwäbe reacts great and gets his left paw on the ball. Corner kick.
28. 8,000 fans from Cologne traveled to the Ruhr area via the A1 – and so far they can be very satisfied. Cologne is more alert and dares more by the minute. Dortmund is not up to speed.
26. Played around 25 minutes, BVB still haven’t had a shot on goal. That rarely happens at Signal Iduna Park.
24. Aytekin interrupts the game for the first time. The reason: drinking break. Of course important with the current temperatures.
22. First conclusion of the home side – albeit not dangerous. Reus chips the ball from the left into the box, where Hummels reaches the ball with his head, but misses it well to the right of the box.
21. Dortmund’s bank starts moving after just 20 minutes. Moukoko, Adeyemi and Co. warm up. There is still a problem on the pitch.
19. A warning signal for BVB, who were not always in the saddle in the preparation in the defensive group. The hosts still make too many technical mistakes going forward.
17. And suddenly the big chance for the guests. Ljubicic puts the ball perfectly into Selke’s run, who briefly delays 16 meters from the goal and then shoots with his right foot from a central position. Süle throws himself into the shot and deflects it off the crossbar. Corner Cologne.
16. Dortmund still lacks depth in their own game in the early stages. This is mainly due to the fact that Cologne defends with commitment. The spaces that BVB could break into are small.
14. The guests are now trying to slow down a bit in order to keep possession of the ball for a few seconds longer. So far, the ball has almost always belonged to BVB. Goal chances didn’t jump out for the home side yet.
11. BVB tries to press much higher. The billy goats’ build-up should already be disrupted in the Cologne penalty area. But that only works if everyone participates.
9. Köln form a compact 4-4-2 against the ball. At the front, Selke and Kainz start cautiously from the middle line.
7. Heavy boarding by Paqarada in midfield against Ryerson. Cologne’s newcomer rushes into Dortmund’s left-back, hitting him with his body on the right leg. Aytekin takes Paqarada to his chest, but lets the card stick.
5. First tricky situation in the Dortmund penalty area. Hummels plays the ball back to Kobel, who almost fits the ball into the approaching Kainz, but brings the ball back to Hummels. Not without risk.
3. The first few minutes belong to BVB, who want to radiate dominance from the start. Cologne will first have to organize against the ball.
1. Let’s go. The ball rolls.
Before we start Let’s take a look at the team of judges. Deniz Aytekin is the referee in charge, assisted by Eduard Beitinger and Martin Thomsen. The fourth official is Florian Heft, and Johann Pfeifer is the VAR.
before the start BVB against Effzeh – a duel with tradition. Borussia Dortmund and 1. FC Köln have already met a total of 94 times in the Bundesliga, and the direct comparison speaks in favor of BVB. Black and yellow left the field as winners 40 times, the Rhinelanders celebrated 29 times. 25 games ended in a draw.
before the start Cologne had significantly more problems in the cup and even had to go into extra time at the Bremer Bridge in Osnabrück. The penalty shoot-out could be avoided in the 3-1 aet with goals from Adamyan and Chabot. Nevertheless, the billy goats’ engine still stuttered visibly.
before the start The dress rehearsal in the DFB Cup went according to plan for BVB. At TSV Schott Mainz, black and yellow won 6:1. The game against the lower-class club was by no means an indicator.
before the start Steffen Baumgart changes his starting XI to two positions compared to the cup game in Osnabrück. In midfield, Carstensen and Ljubicic replaced Oelsen and Husenbasic (both bench) from the start.
before the start of the Bundesliga in Dortmund – that means the start in front of over 80,000 spectators. The traditional 1. FC Köln are guests in glorious summer temperatures. It is the first home game for BVB since the disappointment of Matchday 34 against Mainz 05, when they lost the championship 2-2. This season, a new attempt at the title should be dared.
before the start Steffen Baumgart changes his starting position to two positions compared to the cup game in Osnabrück. In midfield, Carstensen and Ljubicic replaced Oelsen and Husenbasic (both bench) from the start.
before the start The Cologne team oppose this: Schwäbe – Schmitz, Hübers, Chabot, Paqarada – Martel – Carstensen, Ljubicic, Kainz – Selke, Waldschmidt.
before the start BVB coach Edin Terzic trusts exactly the eleven from the cup game in Mainz at the start of the Bundesliga. Adeyemi and Bynoe-Gittens are back on the bench.
before the start This is how Borussia Dortmund goes into a duel with 1. FC Köln: Kobel – Ryerson, Süle, Hummels, Bensebaini – Sabitzer, Can – Malen, Reus, Brandt – Haller.
Before the start: In Cologne they lost two important pillars in the team in Jonas Hector (end of career) and Ellyes Skhiri (Eintracht Frankfurt) and have a new captain in Austrian Florian Kainz. And Dortmund upgraded the transfer market in the summer with Bundesliga players Felix Nmecha, Marcel Sabitzer and Ramy Bensebaini. The new captain at BVB is called Emre Can and the predecessor already made the obligatory challenge to FC Bayern Munich.
Before the start: Both teams were in action in the DFB Cup last week and were able to win their games. BVB celebrated a thumping victory over regional league team Schott Mainz (6:1) and Cologne struggled against second division promoted Osnabrück and coach Tobias Schweinsteiger to win after extra time (3:1 aet). Both teams qualified accordingly for the second round of the cup.
Before the start: 72 kilometers as the crow flies separate the cities of Dortmund and Cologne. Today is a NRW duel.
