Bochum started off well, controlling possession and creating chances for their attackers. However, Köln's defense was resolute and denied them any clear-cut opportunities to score. The deadlock lasted until the second half when Bochum forward Christian Gaudin found himself one-on-one with Cologne goalkeeper Marc Rauter. Despite being under pressure from his defenders, Gaudin managed to slot home the equalizer, giving Bochum a much-needed lead.
However, it wasn't long before Köln levelled things up. After Bochum had failed to convert a penalty kick, Köln midfielder Max Kruse stepped up to take the spot-kick and converted, sending the game into extra time.
The two sides then went to extra-time without scoring, with both teams showing great defensive resilience. In the end, it was Köln who took the victory, thanks to a late header by substitute Kevin van Reijen.
Despite the draw, both teams will be disappointed not to have taken all three points. Bochum manager Thomas Römer praised his players' efforts after the match, while Köln boss Oliver Glasner expressed frustration at his team's inability to convert their chances.
Overall, it was a closely contested match that ended in a frustrating result for both teams. But, given the quality of play shown throughout, it's likely that we'll see more exciting encounters between these two sides in the future.
