Friday evening 1. FC Köln was well on its way to Bremen.
The one-two of CHECK24 with Horst Heldt (1. FC Köln) and all about the hit BVB vs. Bavaria on Sunday from 11 on TV on SPORT1
After an own goal by Niklas Moisander, Rhinelander came out of the proverbial nothing. Would there have been the top three after 17 games in all seasons without a win? No! This was ensured by a penalty in the hand converted by Leonardo Bittencourt against his former club. It was 1: 1 after a very weak 90 minutes, so the Cologne team are still waiting for a win this season.
Trio sets a bad record
The last duel in the cellar between Mainz and Schalke took place on Saturday afternoon. 18th place received 17th place and things got hot in the roughly 100 minutes at the Opel Arena.
Problems with the video referee, tough duels, a surprising number of scoring chances – and in the end only a 2-2. Rheinhessen have split their first counter on the account, Schalke are – like Cologne – with three draws. But both teams missed the desired release.
A winless trio after seven days of play? This has never happened in the long history of the Bundesliga! Even bogey Tasmania Berlin, who has virtually all bad streaks and sad records, had already won a game by this point.
Mainz, Cologne and Schalke have thus reached the preliminary minimum, the three teams now find themselves between 16th and 18th place in the second international break this season.
“It’s time for something to change” – Baum looks positively to the future
“The draw looks like a defeat,” admitted Mainz sporting director Rouven Schröder.
“We are annoyed that we didn’t win,” said coach Jan-Moritz Lichte, disappointed. Schalke manager Manuel Baum wanted to get up SPORT1– Don’t put the question in the “victim role” and hide the 23-match Bundesliga streak without a win: “I think we’re on the right track. It doesn’t take us any further if we think otherwise. We have to think positively.”
“It’s time for something to change” was the title of a Herbert Grönemayer World Cup song. It was rarely as appropriate as in Cologne, Mainz and Gelsenkirchen.
Otherwise the safe shore may soon be too far away.
