It took less than 60 seconds before the previously lively Rheinenergiestadion was abruptly silenced.
Already in the 1st minute of the Rhine derby between Cologne and Gladbach, Jens Castrop put the Foals ahead 1-0. Ironically, Castrop once played for seven years in the youth team of Effzeh.
But Cologne played the Uno reverse card: With Said El Mala, a player once discarded by Gladbach, quickly equalized. At this point, only four minutes had passed.
And the madness continued. Less than three minutes later, Ragnar Ache turned the game in favor of the Müngersdorfers, making it probably the craziest start in the long history of the Rhine derby.
It then took a relatively long 13 minutes for Borussia to equalize. Philipp Sander scored from close range to make it 2-2.
Let's keep it going like this!
