This fan protest was super bizarre!
Cologne loses 0-1 against Bremen, but THE story of the game is written by the Cologne fans. In the 54th minute they throw three remote-controlled toy cars onto the field, which they control from the corner!
The FC fans show a poster with the inscription: “We won’t let ourselves be controlled by remote control! CVC: The perfect stable environment is over for now!”

The message is clear: The fans are protesting against the fact that the DFL is – in their eyes – being “remotely controlled” by a possible investor. The well-known tennis balls fly onto the field. The game is interrupted for a good three minutes.
Added to this is the verbal attack against CVC. After Blackstone’s exit, the financial company from Luxembourg is the last remaining interested party for investor entry.

Remote-controlled cars as a protest against remote-controlled football?
The Cologne residents’ protests came as no surprise: the Rhinelanders had called on the DFL to hold a new investor vote during the week. Cologne is fundamentally against a possible investor deal. Before kick-off, flyers were distributed in the Rhein-Energie Stadium that were directed against the DFL’s plans.

Cologne protests, but Bremen steals the points!
A big shot from Cologne keeper Schwäbe decides the game: Weiser crosses from the right, Schwäbe jumps past the ball – and Njinmah puts it in (70th)! Already his third joker goal.
Goalkeeper Schwäbe is of course satisfied afterwards: “That looked like shit, definitely.”

Then the mega chance to equalize: Adamyan heads a Cologne corner into the far corner, but Friedl clears it off the line!
Big excitement from Cologne’s point of view: Shortly before the end, Werder keeper Zetterer jumped into Kilian’s back with his bent knee, but the penalty whistle was not blown. The same goes for the VAR check, which upsets Cologne captain Kainz afterwards: “It’s a clear penalty for me. He jumps into it with his knee and doesn’t hit the ball. It’s absolutely incomprehensible to me how you can’t at least look at it again in this situation.”
Werder celebrates their third away win in a row and takes a giant step towards staying in the league. The Werner team is now 13 points ahead of the relegation place.
Cologne, on the other hand, suffered a defeat for the first time after three games. Mainz and Darmstadt, each four points behind, could make up ground at the weekend.
And: Things aren’t getting any easier for Cologne. The next opponents are Stuttgart and Leverkusen…
