However, the key moment in the game came when Köln defender Rav Van den Berg was sent off in the 83rd minute for a handball as the last defender on the Köln side. 

After the game, Köln coach Lukas Kwasniok was left disappointed and said: “Over 90 minutes, it was more of a 0:0 type of game. In the first half, we defended off all counter attacks.”

He added: “Football is a game of errors and when you don't produce enough the chance you concede is high.” 

Lastly, he said: “We made two too many errors. However, it is important to lose with dignity. On this note, I invite all fans to go with us and the team into 2026. We are ready and counting on you!” (Geissblog)

Köln remain winless since early November heading into the new year, where they will face bottom three side Heidenheim and Bundesliga holders Bayern Munich within a three day span.
