An own goal from Bremen goalkeeper Mio Backhaus after a shot from Isak Johannesson ensured the final score in the seventh minute of stoppage time. Werder Bremen were behind, had received a red card and were hopelessly inferior. Nevertheless, the team could have been satisfied when they went to the dressing rooms for half-time. The team was only 0-1 behind and it was unlikely that they would play so poorly for another half. But Werder played as if they had slipped into the jerseys of VfL Wolfsburg. Hardly anything came together, but everything went wrong. Olivier Deman hit Jakub Kamiński on the foot in the penalty area, the Cologne player fell over and referee Tobias Reichel awarded a penalty. Despite some good chances, the Cologne team missed out on extending their lead. Shortly after the break it seemed as if they had made up for what they had missed. Substitute Alessio Castro-Montes pushed the ball through goalkeeper Backhaus’s legs into the goal. But the video assistant detected an offside position, which, according to the animation, turned out to be a millimeter decision. But that was all the good news for Werder, as Ache made it 2-0 in the second follow-up after Cenk Özkaçar had previously headed it onto the post. Ragnar Ache remained the most noticeable person in the game, and he would have liked to have missed out on his last notable action in the game. The striker hit Deman while trying to clear the ball in the penalty area. What was initially hidden from Reichel was seen by the VAR, and after going to the monitor the referee also saw it. Romano Schmid converted just as confidently as El Mala had done at the beginning of the game. Werder suddenly saw the chance to equalize in a messed up game. But there was only hope. 1. FC Köln ultimately celebrated their first win since January, which Johannesson perfected very late in collaboration with the Bremen goalkeeper.
