53rd minute: Goal for Köln. The guests get on the scoresheet. Claudio Pizarro starts the move and gets the assist with his pass to Yuya Osako, whose effort beats Pavlenka.
58th minute: GOOOOOAAAAAAAL! RASHICA! Bremer get moving fast on the counter, Rashica breaks free down the left-hand side and is picked out perfectly by Florian Kainz. The finish from Rashica is equally as good as he slots it under Horn.
66th minute: Rashica leaves the pitch to a standing ovation. Well played, Milot!
77th minute: Huge chance for Pizarro! The Peruvian is picked out at the back post in a lot of space but his header just goes the wrong side of the post.
85th minute: Köln are really pushing forward now but this is leaving a lot of space in behind for the Green-Whites. A really open end to the game.
90th minute: EGGESTEIN GETS THE THIRD!! Maxi converts a counter to secure the three points. Junuzovic with the assist and Eggestein makes sure of it, slotting it home under Horn. 3-1 Werder!
Conclusion: The first half was by no means the finest 45 minutes of football but Werder got their goal and stopped Köln from really creating any clear-cut chances, being tight at the back. In the second half, Köln came out the brighter of the two sides and scored early on. Werder, however, were not behind for long, with Milot Rashica firing home just five minutes later with a vital second goal. Eggestein put the cherry on top with his late goal and wrapped up the three points. Werder’s next game is on Saturday 17th March at 15:30 CET, as the Green-Whites will travel to Augsburg for matchday 27.
