Wolfsburg 2-3 Cologne
Goals: 1-0 Nmecha 8' (assist: Baku), 1-1 Modeste 34', 2-1 Weghorst 51' (assist: Lukebakio), 2-2 Uth 73' (assist: Schindler), 2-3 Modeste 89' (assist: Schindler)

There was no shortage of entertainment at the Volkswagen Arena. Wolfsburg made the brighter start, with the Nmecha brothers at the heart of their best work. Felix - making his full Bundesliga debut - tested Marwin Schwäbe, before Lukas showed his younger sibling how it's done with the opener. The Germany striker crowned an incisive counter involving Ridle Baku and Dodi Lukebakio to bring up his sixth Bundesliga goal. Modeste offered Cologne's first response - a tame header at Koen Casteels - but made his next one count. Jonas Hector's cross caused all manner of problems in the Wolfsburg rearguard, with Cologne's top scorer heading home after Florian Kainz had struck the crossbar.

After speculative efforts at both ends in a wild first-half finale, the action showed no signs of abating into the second period. Schwäbe pulled off a sensational reflex save to keep out Lukas Nmecha's deflected close-range shot, but was powerless to prevent Wolfsburg restaking the lead. Lukebakio collected Jerome Roussillon's pass and jinked his way into the box, before teeing up Wout Weghorst for a routine finish from inside the six-yard box. Cologne hung in there, though, and levelled with 17 minutes remaining when Kingsley Schindler picked out fellow substitute Mark Uth to steer the ball in with his chest. After Baku had a goal ruled out for offside and Maxence Lacroix headed over, Modeste headed the Billy Goats ahead. Weghorst passed up a late equaliser to compound the Wolves' misery.
