Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
The two sides are evenly matched. One place in the table separates the teams. The Werkself are seventh on 18 points and FC Köln eighth with a point less.
An exciting game develops from the start, "spirited battling, tireless commitment, technical skills, electric atmosphere and exciting goalmouth action on both sides provides everything that makes a football game worth watching" (kicker from 12.12.19 83). FC Köln take the lead on three minutes from the corner with an inswinging ball that goes over my fingers. I don't think the ball was completely over the line but it was my fault nevertheless. FC Köln look to increase the lead and bombard the Bayer goal. The Werkself resist, take up the challenge and battle their way back into the game. The equaliser at 1-1 on 33 minutes is deserved. Herbert Waas turns in a cross from sweeper Dieter Bast. That's the score at half-time.
The outstanding South Korean striker Bum-kun Cha scores to make it 2-1 on 57 minutes. In tandem with his strike partner Herbert Waas, he is suddenly one-on-one with Germany keeper Toni Schumacher and he nutmegs him. The ball rolls into the net and the Bayer 04 fans celebrate." Klaus Allofs has another chance with a header five minutes later but the Werkself hold onto the 2-1 lead to secure the first Bundesliga victory against FC Köln.
With 20 points, Bayer 04 have never done as well before in their history in the Bundesliga.
The line-ups:
Bayer 04: Vollborn – Posner, Bast, Gelsdorf, Saborowski (Winklhofer 57’), Vöge (Geschlecht 84’), Hörster, Bittorf, Wojtowicz, Cha, Waas
FC Köln: Schumacher – Prestin (Mennie 79’), Strack, Hönerbach, Hartmann, Zimmermann, Engels, Haas (Willmer 53’), Littbarski, Fischer, Allofs
Zoltan Sebescen was born on 1 October 1975 in Ehingen and he started playing football as a child. His talent stood out early on and he was accepted into the youth section at Stuttgarter Kickers in 1982. There he progressed through all the youth teams and continued to develop. His breakthrough in the men's game came in the mid-1990s, when he moved up to the Kickers first team squad. With his speed, dynamism and attacking drive, he soon made a name for himself beyond the region. He and his team were promoted from the Regional League South to Bundesliga 2 in 1996 and stayed in the league with Stuttgart for three years.

Then the AS Roma captain Daniele De Rossi brought his team back into the game with a brace making it 2-2 at half-time.
