FC Köln secured a hard-fought one-nil victory over ten-man Mainz at Mewa Arena. The match's pivotal moment came in the sixtieth minute when Mainz midfielder Paul Nebel received a straight red card for a professional foul. Köln capitalized on their numerical advantage, eventually breaking the deadlock in the seventy-sixth minute through substitute Luca Waldschmidt, who finished clinically after sustained pressure from the visitors. Mainz had created the better chances early on, with Paul Nebel having a shot blocked in a goalmouth scramble, but Köln's persistence paid off after the sending off. The hosts defended resolutely but ultimately could not hold out against Köln's relentless attacking pressure in the final stages.Disclaimer: This video provides an analysis and match report of the Bundesliga match between Mainz 05 and FC Köln.
