Dusseldorf a point behind Mainz now. A big swing.
GOAL - Cologne 0-1 Fortuna Dusseldorfpublished at 17:42 British Summer Time 24 May 2020
Kenan Karaman (41 mins)
Breakthrough! What a big goal that could be as Dusseldorf take the lead.
Again they win the ball back high up the field, Kenan Karaman is picked out inside the area, he shuffles the ball on to his right foot and hits a low shot which deflects in off on-loan QPR man Toni Leistner.

Cologne 0-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf
Still 0-0 here folks. Uwe Rosler doing more sprints down the sideline to pick up the loose ball than most of the players.
Schalke 0-3?published at 17:38 British Summer Time 24 May 2020
It looks like FC Augsburg's social media team have been busy in photoshop following their win over Schalke 04 earlier today.
So have FSV Mainz 05, after their defeat to Leipzig. Sometimes a colon, and a scream emoji, is all you need...

Cologne win a corner after a flowing move. I'll be honest this isn't great.

Dusseldorf haven't won here since 1989. Due one.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 17:25 British Summer Time 24 May 2020
Cologne 0-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf
Decent penalty shout for Dusseldorf but nothing given, and on second viewing it was pretty softon Erik Thommy. As you were lads.
GREAT SAVE!published at 17:23 British Summer Time 24 May 2020
Cologne 0-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf
Well that's better! And a real chance for the strugglers Fortuna as Cologne give it away cheaply. It's slid in to Kenan Karaman, he needs a bit of finesse but can only blitz the shot at full pelt right at Timo Horn, who makes a strong save and tips it over.

Cologne 0-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf
Three games back to back is a lot in any day but when there's no fans it's a bit of a slog. This one is ticking along very slowly.
Needs a goal, a fight, something.

Cologne 0-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf
Another bruising tackle in midfield from Kingsley Ehizibue - the Cologne midfielder is apparently the fastest player in the league. Alphonso Davies will be having words.
CLOSE!published at 17:12 British Summer Time 24 May 2020
Cologne 0-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf
First chance of the day and it's a good one - long ball over the top plays in Jhon Cordoba, he dances around Florian Kastenmeier but puts it wide!
A belated offside flag is raised. But a warning to Fortuna.

Cologne 0-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf
A strong tackle on Erik Thommy leaves the Dusseldorf man in a heap, a proper derby challenge, and the referee has no issues with that one.
Get up.

Cologne 0-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf
Cologne skipper and Germany regular Jonas Hector gets them going with a superb crossfield ball to find Jhon Cordoba but he runs out of steam and grass and Fortuna can clear. Low key opening.

There's 24 miles between these two cities by the way. Qualifies as a proper derby in my book.

Uwe Rosler prowls the touchline - crazy that he was sacked by Fleetwood two years ago. He's landed on his feet.

Cologne v Fortuna Dusseldorf (17:00 BST)
I'm getting hungover just looking at images of Cologne. I heartily recommend it for a visit once all this is over. If it ever is, obviously.
Beautiful place.
