The Cologne goalkeeper is still trying to stall for time, and he needs to buy time for his team-mates to recover; But at this time, the delay of the goalkeeper of the Cologne team angered the referee. Although Cologne goalkeeper Mondragon had just made a god-level save, he was shown a yellow card by the referee for delaying the game in a blink of an eye!

Xiao Qingcai doesn't care if the Cologne goalkeeper gets a yellow card, the chances of the goalkeeper getting the card are not high, and a yellow card does not have much impact on the goalkeeper. If it is the Cologne defender who wins the card now, then Xiao Qing may be a little happy, because the current game is only going on for 30 minutes, which will definitely make the Cologne defender have some taboos in the next game. It's just a pity that the yellow card was for the goalkeeper; However, this is also good news for Hoffenheim, although the god-level save can boost the morale of the Cologne team to a certain extent, but looking at the current Cologne team players' fearful performance, they are obviously frightened by Xiao Qing's previous shot!

Because Xiao Qing's very threatening shot made the Cologne players fearful, and now they are more worried about the team's defense, this game is no less pressure on the Cologne team than Hoffenheim, so they don't want to suffer a painful defeat at home. Although goalkeeper Mondragon had a brilliant save, they really couldn't bet that their goalkeeper would be able to keep the back of the net the next time they faced such a save.

When the Cologne team had some scruples, when the current Cologne team was more focused on the defensive end, Hoffenheim was naturally not polite at this time, they began to slowly strengthen the offensive, and their attacks became more and more fierce.

In the 34th minute of the game, Xiao Qing did it back, and Ibisevic chose to shoot high above the crossbar in front of the penalty area; In the 37th minute of the game, Hoffenheim made a comeback, Hoffenheim quickly launched a counterattack after Gustavo broke the ball in the middle, Salihovic and Eduardo's beautiful midfield cooperation was the key to the team's rapid advancement to the front, and Xiao Qing's split after receiving also made Edu get the opportunity to shoot at this time, but it was a pity that Edu's shot was too positive, so the Cologne goalkeeper was able to easily block Edu's shot.

Although the continuous attacks failed to score, the morale of the Hoffenheim players at this time rose instantly, and they suppressed the Cologne team with waves of attacks, although the current Cologne team is strengthening the defense, but their current situation is not too good.

Unforgiving is a common presence on the pitch, and Hoffenheim now have a clear advantage, so they naturally don't have to be polite at this time; Hoffenheim's attack continues to intensify, and at a time when Cologne are now forced to start retracting their defence, Hoffenheim are starting to push their formation even higher, believing that as long as they continue to attack with such a high intensity, then scoring goals will be a matter of course.

Hoffenheim is trying their best to score goals, and now they seem to have completely formed a suppression of the Cologne team, so at this time they seem to only want to attack, and they don't notice that the Cologne team at this time has been suppressed to a limit, or that the Cologne team's trap has been acted at this time. Hoffenheim's formation is pressed further up, and if they make mistakes at this time, they are likely to form an extremely threatening counterattack by the Cologne team.

Hoffenheim's players were unaware of the potential threat that came when Eduardo had his pass cut off in the 41st minute. In the cheers that erupted from the Rheinenergy Stadium, Cologne midfielder Antar made a long pass, because the formation was too high, so Cologne was able to get into the front in an instant, and they would not give Hoffenheim more chances at all.

Suzo quickly advanced with the ball, smashed the ball and dodged Nelsson, who was forced to press, and then chose to go straight into the penalty area; Cologne striker Milivoye Novakovic gently pushed the ball forward with his right foot, and immediately burst into the air with his speed advantage, shaking off Setz and firing a fierce shot. Although Hoffenheim goalkeeper Ozcan tried his best to make a save, although he judged the correct trajectory of the ball, the ball speed was too fast!

Listening to the cheers of the Rheinenergy Stadium, the players of Hoffenheim were a little distracted, they still suppressed the Cologne team fiercely before, but it was just a mistake of the team, they were seized by the Cologne team, and all this happened in just two minutes, and now they have to bitterly accept the reality of 0-1 away from home!

Coming back into the dressing room with a goal deficit, the emotions of the Hoffenheim players were really not very high because they took this game very seriously because they wanted to win. Hoffenheim players believe that their tactics are not wrong, they believe in the team's strong attacking power, although now one goal behind, but Hoffenheim players still have absolute confidence that they can equalize in the second half of the game, they believe that this will belong to Hoffenheim game, they believe that in the second half of the game they will not only equalize, the reversal win will also belong to Hoffenheim!

The players of the Cologne team who scored the goal were in high spirits, and the fifteen-minute break in the midfield could not cool down their high-pitched emotions at all, this game is too important for them, once they win against Hoffenheim in this game, then Cologne will basically lock up the top three positions in the standings, and they will also close the gap between Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach, and they still have a chance to qualify directly for the Bundesliga in the remaining three rounds!

In the second half, Hoffenheim and Cologne seemed to be completely reversed, Hoffenheim, who had always been on the officiant, strengthened their defense at the beginning of the second half of the game, and the Cologne team, which had been suppressed, had a lot of confidence after scoring a goal, so they became active at this time. In the first leg of the contest between the two sides, the Cologne team won a victory, and the current Cologne team once again took the lead, so the current Cologne team has enough reason to believe that they will become Hoffenheim killers, and they will be Hoffenheim's nemesis!

The fans of the Cologne team are getting more and more excited, the current Cologne team's attack is booming, and the current Rheinenergy Stadium is in a frenzy, the Cologne fans are naturally quite willing to see the team can completely suppress Hoffenheim, they value not only the team can suppress the league leader, they value the team's bright prospects after the victory over Hoffenheim!

Although being suppressed by the opponent is a rather aggrieved thing, but the current Hoffenheim does need to strengthen the defense, the current Cologne players are a group of drooling wild dogs, they can't wait to be able to eat Hoffenheim directly alive, so at this time Hoffenheim can not give the Cologne team any chance, one goal behind there is a chance, and once two goals behind, this game is difficult to grasp.

Cologne launched a high-intensity offensive rhythm that lasted nearly 20 minutes in the second half, when they found that Hoffenheim's defense was not as weak as they imagined, when they began to want to slow down the rhythm, Hoffenheim would not give them a chance, for Hoffenheim, who was strong in attack and weak in defense, attack is the foundation of their current results, and they can endure until now in order to accumulate strength and attack more!

Taking advantage of the Cologne team's adjustment of tactics, the depressed Hoffenheim began to exert their strength at this time, this is their most haode choice, they will take advantage of the Cologne team's short-term tactics to adjust the tactics are not clear enough, they are not willing to become losers in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, they want to score, they don't just want to equalize, they want to reverse and win the game, and now is the time!
