12th minute: Brandt takes a corner flat into the penalty area. Malen escapes from Maina and scores through the commotion to make it 1-0.
Malen also makes it 3-0. After a fantastic ball from Maatsen, he runs all alone towards Cologne goalkeeper Schwäbe and stays cool (61st). In Cologne he celebrates his sixth and seventh goals of the season.
Before that, Sancho throws the Rhinelander defense into disarray!
58th minute: The returner first eats Chabot in the Cologne penalty area and is then held by Carstensen. Referee Schlager gives a penalty.
The fouled player really wants to take the penalty himself, but Niclas Füllkrug grabs the ball. Sancho begs the clipper, but the ex-Bremen player remains firm and turns Sancho away. Rightly so – Füllkrug confidently converted to make it 2-0.
Füllkrug on the situation at “Sky”: “We have a small ranking, usually I’m there with Marco and Emre. Jadon would have converted it too, he really wanted his first goal. That’s coming next week. He just asked if it would be okay if he shot. I said: No, I’ll do it today and then everything was ok.”

Even without a goal of his own, it is clear: Sancho, who is back in the BVB starting line-up for the first time in 983 days, enlivens Dortmund’s often unimaginative game and is repeatedly involved in dangerous actions.
Moukoko scores to make it 4-0 (90+2). The only dampener for Dortmund: Niklas Süle (28), who was allowed to start again, had to be replaced at half-time with back problems.
While BVB is heading back towards the Champions League ranks with two wins in a row, Cologne is slipping further and further into the basement crisis.
New coach Timo Schultz (46) has so far only been able to collect one point from two home games. The effect of the coaching change seems to have already evaporated…
