1. FC KÖLN - WERDER BREMEN 0:0
Nach einer vor der Pause ansprechenden, nach dem Wechsel mäßigen Begegnung trennten sich Köln und Bremen nicht ungerecht torlos. Bremen, das seine Serie auf 23 Spiele ohne Niederlage ausbaute, war über 90 Minuten zwar die tonangebende Mannschaft, ohne Mesut Özil fehlten den Hanseaten aber gute Ideen. Cologne delivered from a solid defensive performance and twice had the big chance to win, but made it clear why only seven season hits are to book.
Cologne's coach Zvonimir Soldo moved to a 0-0 draw at VfL Bochum twice. Kessler took the injured Mondragon (thigh problems) in goal, Podolski returned to yellow card suspension for dismounted Yalcin back into the team. Somewhat surprising was able to accumulate Pezzoni, who had incurred in Bochum a ligament and capsule injuries.
On page Bremer replaced coach Thomas Schaaf compared to the smooth success of the Bremen 4-1 B-team in the Champions League against Funchal staff five times. Naldo, Boenisch, Borowski, Hugo Almeida and Marin started in place of Prödl, Pasanen, Niemeyer, Marcelo Moreno and Rosenberg. This celebrated Mielitz, who again fell ill for the continuance of the meadow gate guarded, Bundesliga debut. Not was there Özil playmaker, who had to adjust because of the flu.
Cologne made from the start no secret of wanting to solve the problem of Bremen with a defensive plan. Before a low-lying back four also received the defensive oriented Pezzoni, Petit and Maniche the guest just behind the center line to swiftly retaliate to any ball on Podolski profits and Chihi. Werder initially built to be patient and investigated the gap, but was initially denied access to well guarded FC penalty area.
It was the FC, the first promising pinpricks continued. After a repulsed Bremer corner Podolski grabbed the ball on his own penalty area and set out on a remarkable solo over the entire place. Naldo had not 30 Mter the gate used for textile brake, the returnees would be free appeared before Mielitz (12). Just two minutes later it was again Podolski, the perfect cross from the left inside, where Novakovic free from five meters at the end came, but missed the huge opportunity and the ball sat on the box by (14).
Bremen could not get by the two-stopping moments from the concept and put the FC consistently under pressure. A real big chance wanted it out but not jump. Mertesacker headed about it (18), Hugo Almeida exactly in the arms of Kessler (25). It was tricky, especially in the hard side of the Cologne meeting led to less than half an hour. Marin Mohamad stole 40 meters in front of goal and the ball would have been through, when the Cologne had not been tackled vigorously. Referee Jochen Drees pointed to the center-only yellow (28).
Even in the final quarter hour of the first round of the Hanseatic League made the game. Marin (35) and Hugo Almeida's free-kick (43) could not overcome Kessler. On the opposite side of the half left the game erupted Chihi unit was hunting for a clear counter to its left (36.), so dass es torlos in die Kabinen ging.
Der zweite Abschnitt, den der FC mit McKenna für den verletzten Ehret (Verdacht auf Muskelfaserriss) anging, begann eher schleppend, hatte dann aber einen Paukenschlag parat. Maniche spielte Novakovic sehenswert frei. Der Slowene stand alleine vor Mielitz, brachte das Leder aus 15 Metern aber nicht am glänzend reagierende Keeper vorbei und vergab so seine zweite "Hundertprozentige" (54.).
Insgesamt verflachte das Match in den zweiten 45 Minuten jedoch. Werder agierte bemüht, aber weitgehend einfallslos und schaffte es nur noch ganz selten, die Hintermannschaft der Domstädter ins Wanken zu bringen. Mertesackers Kopfball, der am kurzen Eck vorbeiflog, stellte noch die größte Bremer Gelegenheit dar (63.). Ansonsten plätscherte das Duell im rheinischen Regen weitgehend höhepunktlos vor sich hin.
Schaaf reagierte und brachte mit Rosenberg für Hugo Almeida frisches Offensivpersonal (70.). Es sollte nichts helfen. Wenn Werder ansatzweise Gefahr ausstrahlte, dann nur nach Standardsituation. Kessler hatte ab und an Mühe mit Frings' Hereingaben, die allerdings allesamt folgenlos blieben. Köln kämpfte und hielt den SVW so bis auf wenige Ausnahmen weit genug vom eigenen Gehäuse fern.
Am Ende hätte der FC sogar noch zum Siegtor kommen können, Petit war jedoch nicht in der Lage, Chihis flache Hereingabe von links aus zwölf Metern aufs Tor zu platzieren (86). Because art has been blocked and Podolski shot from 40 meters after a failed clearance by Mielitz, it was ultimately goalless draw.
Next Round Cologne guest on Saturday at SC Freiburg, Bremen, Schalke 04 on the same day to visit.
SCHALKE 04 - Hertha BSC Berlin 2:0 (0:0)
Schalke secured against Hertha in an ugly game in a very low level of work a deserved victory. After an hour of ideas without running against the well-organized Berlin defensive rock Kuranyi redeemed the "Royal Blues" with his jubilee hits. Only in the final phase was the cellar instead of attacking child, but knew a great Compensation opportunity not to use before Janker flew off course and began the final point penalty. Schalke coach Felix Magath
brought after the 0-1 at Borussia Moenchengladbach Zambrano for Moritz.
In Berlin Hertha coach Friedhelm Funkel changed his starting lineup compared to the 1-0 away win in the Euro-League game at FK Ventspils on two positions: Pejcinovic and Ebert came to Radjabali-Fardi and Ramos.
In cool and rainy temperatures, adjusted the quality of the lot to the adverse conditions. The pace was low, both teams managed little. As expected, Hertha was low, which brought the "Royal Blues" is a visual superiority - But nothing more.
S04 repeatedly operated with long balls into the storm center and launched his offensive actions rarely on the wing. The game of Elf-Magath was too static, called for the defense of Berlin and at the same time little attention.
So it took until the 19th Minute before the hosts, even by accident, had their first real chance. The capital city took the ball away not Pejcinovic put a header on unintentionally for Kuranyi, who failed five meters at Drobny.
Now it was briefly a little more dynamic, mostly it was about Schalke's Rafinha and right side with Farfan. Schmitz (21) and Kuranyi (23) came by foot and head for Conclusion - but it really dicey for the rear this was not. The twinkle-Eleven did find little relief, was created fear in forward gear and not a single chance in the first round, but well organized and eager to keep the ball away from his own penalty area.
strengthened after the restart and took the offensive Magath Altintop for his "six" Matip. Yet nothing changed, the ball attachment was tired at first seamless continuation.
Up to the 59th Minutes did nothing, but then dropped the redeeming opening goal of the owners: Schmitz crossed from the left side, rear Bordon came in six-yard box and headed the ball to Kuranyi. The attacker was probably the same height and nodded in from close range one - the 100th League goal of the scorer! Much was
game art is also available in the following not to admire. Hertha ventured to the residue, obviously more on the offensive, but for now remained harmless. Only Raphael considered New (66), as a compelling opportunity was the second (!) Goal of the Berlin but not to call too.
The "Royal Blues" now had more room, they did not do much with it. Bordon took to it all, even his 5th Yellow card from and is now missing in Bremen.
put up the rear in the final stage from his reserve and urged the gate of the Gastgeber. Und stand dicht vor dem Ausgleich: Nach dem besten Angriff tanzte Piszczek im Strafraum Schmitz aus und zog mit der Picke ab. Neuer wehrte ab, der Ball flog quer zu Ramos, der aus vier Metern per Seitfallzieher vom linken Fünfereck am Tor vorbeischoss (79.). Glück für S04, das auch alle weiteren Bemühungen der Gäste überstand. Janker bettelte dann bereits gelbverwarnt um einen Platzverweis - Referee Kircher tat ihm nach dessen zweiten Foul binnen zweier Minuten den Gefallen (86.).
Den Schlusspunkt setzte Rafinha, der einen von von Bergen am eingewechselten Sanchez verursachten Foulelfmeter verwandelte (90.+2).
Schalke muss am Samstag bei Werder Bremen ran. Die Hauptstädter messen sich bereits on Friday at home with Bayer Leverkusen.
