Will we see a winner?
This has been a classic of a derby so far and you certainly shouldn't write off some late drama...

Cologne draw level
What a game this is turning out to be and what a moment to score your first professional goal. American teenager Damion Downs collects the ball brilliantly before firing across goal with his left foot and into the bottom corner. Superb.

What a turnaround
Hack has his second and he's only been on the pitch three minutes. This time he volleys home in style to make it 3-2 and send the home support wild.

Cologne in front again!
Well, a second goal has been coming but it looked more likely to do so at the other end. Instead, it's Cologne who regain the lead thanks to Alidou's second of the game.

First change for Gladbach
The Foals have swapped Stefan Lainer for Luca Netz as they continued their search for a second goal. Still in the balance in the derby.

Off the post!
Neuhaus hits the upright for the second time today. The ball just won't go in for him at the minute but Gladbach are applying serious pressure now.

Half-time: Gladbach 1-1 Cologne
An entertaining first-half comes to a close with Alidou and Honorat trading blows to leave us nicely poised going into the second-half. Played at a frenetic pace, it was 45 minutes of pure derby football. Good fun so far.

Gladbach are level!
Honorat does manage to find the equaliser and it's game back on at Borussia Park. Gladbach pounce on sloppy passing out from the back by Cologne, Neuhaus then feeding Honorat through on goal for the Frenchman to fire home the leveller.

Can Gladbach find an equaliser?

Gladbach almost level
The fingertips of Marvin Schwäbe have kept the scores level, pushing Florian Neuhaus' effort from the edge of the box onto the post. Nathan Ngoumou should do better on the follow up but can only sidefoot into the side-netting. A lively start in Gladbach.
7'
Cologne strike first
The visitors lead the derby inside the first 10 minutes. Faride Alidou is the man to break the deadlock, sending the visitors' fans into a frenzy in the process. Alidou picks the ball up out wide on the right and fires home from the tightest of angles. Moritz Nicolas will be frustrated to be beaten at his near post like that.

Expect some atmosphere at Borussia Park today, where Gladbach host neighbours Cologne. It's just a half hour drive between the two cities, while nine points separates the Foals in 12th and the Billy Goats in 16th. This will be a cracker.

The aforementioned 3-1 win over Gladbach is Cologne's biggest of the season so far. It's also one of just three after 24 games - an unwanted club record low at this juncture.
