Waldschmidt secures all three points!
The Germany international has been heavily involved throughout, and he finally has the goal his endeavour deserves. It's a well-taken strike, too, as he guides a low shot into the bottom corner off the post.
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.
Shot speed
Shot speed
Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
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.

Waldschmidt denied!
The forward connects with the ball well on the edge of the area, but it is too close to Nicolas, who parries the ball away.

Hack header saved
Schwäbe makes an easy stop to keep out Hack's header. Gladbach are still pushing for a point, but they will need to threaten more than that.

Kainz scores again!
Cologne are in front once more! Nicolas is beaten to the ball by Waldschmidt and catches the striker with his fist, leaving Aytekin with no choice to but to point from the spot. Initially, Kainz decided to go with a panenka, which was saved by the shot-stopper. However, the goalkeeper was off his line, giving Die Geißböcke a reprieve and, from the retake, the skipper makes no mistake.

The visitors equalise with their first effort on target! Honorat's corner is pinpoint, and Elvedi directs its home to restore parity. Just under 30 minutes to go - can they find a winner?

Nicolas saves Gladbach!
Gladbach are riding their luck here! For the second time, Cologne hit the post, but Nicolas is the hero, getting a fingertip to Waldschmidt's low attempt from outside the box to push it onto the woodwork.

Waldschmidt shoots wide
The low drive was mishit and also lacked the power to beat Nicolas even if his effort had been more accurate.

Gladbach trailing again
Die Fohlen have been behind in seven of their eight league games this season. The only positive so far here is that they are only trailing by one - there is still plenty of time to turn this around.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The 24-year-old has been a livewire early on here, and although his effort flies wide of the post, it is another warning sign for the visitors.

The next opening falls to Chabot, who hits the crossbar with a header from Paqarada's cross. A brilliant opening quarter of an hour from the hosts!

Maina fires goalwards
Cologne have the bit between their teeth here as they look to drive home their advantage. Linton Maina tries his luck from outside the area and, although Nicolas gets down well to save and hold, Seoane will be unhappy with the space the midfielder was afforded.

Cologne take the lead
Referee Deniz Aytekin points to the penalty spot as Koné handles Waldschmidt's shot on the edge of the penalty area. From the resulting spot-kick, Kainz keeps his cool in a pressure situation to give his side a crucial lead!

Joint message for peace
The DFL has recommended a minute's silence in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 to remember all innocent victims and their relatives after the devastating events in the Middle East. With this joint effort, the DFL and DFB would like to send a common message from German football for peace. Football is a sport that brings people together, which is why we all stand up for peaceful coexistence, respect and tolerance. A fortnight ago, the terrorist attack by Hamas on the people of Israel and the State of Israel began. The DFL is shocked by this terrible attack and the events in the region.

Cologne looking to turn the tide
To say this has been a difficult start to the campaign for the Billy-Goats would be an understatement. They currently sit bottom of the Bundesliga table, while their current tally of one point from the first seven games is their worst record in Bundesliga history.
