Rare away goal for Jahn
In the last five away matches, Jahn had not managed to score a goal away from home. Of all places, the streak ends against previous league leaders Cologne.

No clean sheet again
Cologne have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last seven matches.

Ganaus equalises
That is his fifth goal of the season, meaning he is Regensburg's top scorer.
76'
The equaliser!
Unbelievable - Regensburg are back on level terms! The visitors play quickly down the left after a free-kick in midfield before crossing towards the six-yard box. Ganaus heads it, and Schwäbe saves. But the ball bounces off Heintz's knee and back to the feet of Ganaus, who pokes it over the line from very close range.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.
73'
Saved on the line
Cologne suddenly pick up the pace. A brilliant low pass from Rondić down the left finds Maina, who delivers a strong cross into the middle where Lemperle stumbles it towards goal. However, a Regensburg player manages to clear it off the line.
71'
Over
Cologne have a free-kick from 25 yards out directly in front of the goal after a handball. But Luca Waldschmidt blasts the ball straight into the wall. His follow-up shot is hammered just over the crossbar.

Two Cologne players in double figures
Downs and Lemperle have 10 goals each - the last time two Cologne players managed double-digit goal tallies in a season last occurred in 2018/19, also in Bundesliga 2. Back then, Simon Terodde struck 29 goals and Jhon Cordoba 20 goals as Effzeh earned promotion.

Hein again
This time, Hein is played in by Handwerker with a flat pass. But Hübers manages to intervene.
62'
Hein dangerous
The Regensburg man is suddenly completely free in the Effzeh penalty area, but he is unable to capitalise.

Great cross from Luca Waldschmidt
That means he has been involved in seven of Cologne's last 10 goals!

Tenth goal from Lemperle
He draws level with Downs, and the two are now Cologne's two top goalscorers this season.

Cologne take the lead
The hosts are up and running! The 14th shot on goal for Effzeh goes in. The build-up is slow, but eventually Waldschmidt crosses from the left. At the far post, Lemperle outjumps Ziegele and heads the ball home.

Half-time: Cologne 0-0 Regensburg
Cologne and Regensburg go into the dressing room goalless. The home side are making an effort, but more often than not the decisive pass doesn't connect. Nevertheless, Effzeh have had a few decent chances. Regensburg, however, are holding their own and occasionally get forward. Schwäbe has had to make two important saves already.

Saved
So close. Corner for Cologne from the right. Martel heads towards goal from 10 yards out, but Ernst manages to save it with his head for his beaten keeper.

Another goalless half

Out of nowhere, Regensburg threaten. Ganaus simply strikes from 25 yards, and Schwäbe has to stretch to make the save.

Striking duo struggling
Three Cologne shots - two from defensive midfielder Martel, one from Waldschmidt. Lemperle and Downs have not had an attempt on goal between them.

Powerful shot
Lemperle sets up Thielmann, who unleashes a powerful shot from 20 yards. Pollersbeck, though, manages to parry it for a corner.

He has caught one or two crosses, but he hasn't had to make any real saves yet, unlike his counterpart Schwäbe.

Chances at a premium
Half an hour played, yet only three Cologne shots on goal - that it is at an average of one every 10 minutes.

Stopped
Downs outpaces by Ballas as he looks to make a difference.
21'
Wurm impressing
The defender makes another strong intervention against Down. Nineteen years old and already making his 20th second division appearance, Wurm is undoubtedly one of, if not the biggest, bright spot in Regensburg's season.
21'
At the last moment
Nice attack by Cologne through the middle as Kainz plays a through ball into Downs, who drives forward into the penalty area. But just before he can shoot, Wurm gets his foot in and clears.
20'
Ernst misses
First Regensburg chance, but Sebastian Ernst is still waiting for his first goal of the season as he fails to hit the target.
19'
Powerful shot
After a cleared free kick, the ball comes to Ernst. He fires a powerful shot towards goal from just inside the area. The ball heads towards the crossbar, but Schwäbe gets a hand to it and tips it over the woodwork.

Lemperle wins a footrace down the right before playing a low ball into the middle where Downs is lurking. But Wurm is quicker and manages to clear.

Lots of midfield action
Cologne are trying to dictate the game, but they're making too many misplaced passes in midfield. Regensburg, meanwhile, are playing quick forward balls, but so far they've all been intercepted.

Lemperle over the bar
After the corner, the ball comes to Lemperle. He takes a touch, then fires over from 10 metres.

Almost an own goal
The first dangerous attack from Cologne. Kainz plays it to Downs on the left, and he passes into the middle. There, Wurm runs in between and deflects the ball towards his own goal, but Pollersbeck gets down quickly and makes a brilliant save to concede a corner.

Kick-off

Kick-off!
Maina back in the squad
After suffering an ankle injury at the beginning of March on Matchday 24 in Karlsruhe, Linton Maina is back in the squad for the first time.
Mathematically still in it - just
After Münster's sensational 5-0 victory yesterday in Magdeburg, Regensburg are nine points and 41 goals away from 16th place Theoretically that can still be achieved in three matches, but is very unlikely realistically.
Jahn bring in Ananou, Hottmann
For Regensburg, there are two changes compared to the 1-1 draw against Braunschweig last week: Frederic Ananou has recovered and plays for Kai Pröger, while Eric Hottmann comes in for Sargis Adamyan.
Finnkgräfe replaces Paqarada
Only change for Cologne compared to the 0-1 in Hannover: Max Finkgräfe comes in for Paqarada. In his last three starts, Finkgräfe has helped his side to victory.
Regensburg's starting XI
Pollersbeck - Wurm, Ballas, Ziegele - Ananou, Kühlwetter, Handwerker - Ernst, Hein - Ganaus, Hottmann
Cologne's starting XI
Schwäbe - Thielmann, Hübers, Heintz, Finkgräfe - Martel - Ljubicic, Waldschmidt, Kainz - Lemperle, Downs
Andreas Patz's thoughts on facing Cologne
"We're expecting a team with strong technical ability and a lot of individual quality. In the reverse fixture, we showed that we're certainly capable of keeping them in check and standing our ground. Nobody expects anything from us, and that might actually work to our advantage."
Gerhard Struber's thought on facing Regensburg
"Regensburg always give their all, but tomorrow we want to show our true face – at home at 8:30 pm with our fans behind us – that does justice to us and our supporters. We want to make amends."
Brilliant against the parent club
In that 5-3 victory, Sargis Adamyan scored twice for Jahn, and in total he has scored four goals in four competitive matches against Cologne (three for Regensburg, one for Hoffenheim) – the same number as in 60 competitive matches for Cologne! Adamyan is currently on loan from the hosts to Jahn.
Good memories of the last time
Regensburg won 5-3 in their last away match in Cologne (12 May 2019) – but it's worth noting that Cologne had celebrated their early promotion to the Bundesliga a week before that match.
Cup shocker Regensburg
In three of the last four competitive matches, Jahn ended up winning! Regensburg won twice at home in the DFB-Cup after penalty shootouts (July 2022 first round, February 2021 round of 16 - each time as a Bundesliga 2 side against a Bundesliga Cologne, both matches ended 2-2 after 120 minutes).
One-sided record
In the first leg, Dejan Ljubicic failed to convert a penalty against Felix Gebhardt, but thanks to a goal from Tim Lemperle, Cologne won 1-0 and celebrated their fourth win from five league matches against Regensburg.
