After the game started both sides played a little cautiously, the game was a bit dull, and there weren't many decent shooting chances. In the 24th minute, there were goals in the game. Leipzig were awarded a free-kick in front of the goal and Nkunku took the penalty, the ball went over the wall and went straight into the top left corner of the goal.

The shot was beautiful and the goalkeeper was helpless. Three minutes later, Leipzig scored again! Olmo sent a cross from the left side of the penalty area, Angelinho curled up in the middle and the ball went into the net! Home fans rejoice! Cologne conceded two goals in three minutes and collapsed all at once, and the game had lost its suspense. In the 67th minute, Nkunku whipped a shot from a tight angle on the left side of the penalty area and the goalkeeper blocked the ball. Rempel pulled a goal back for Cologne in the final moments. In the end, Leipzig beat Cologne 3-1.
