When we left the commentary position, really felt like Köln were back in with a big shout & might have momentum in a 3-way final day „Ferntriell“ with Mainz & Union. But Mainz have ridden roughshod over that & now it will take goal swings as well as a Köln win & Union defeat.
Haven’t had a chance to properly compose thoughts after that crazy ending. Didn’t necessarily feel that late goal coming in the Köln air today but what an ending. Köln now have a chance of staying up on the final day. Commentary dream finish. #effzeh
Köln-Union here in a very sunny 😎 Domstadt today. Crunch time near the foot of the table. Join us around the world in the usual places! #KOEFCU https://t.co/sHWb35dcn6
