Grimaldo on fire
To add to his goal today, Leverkusen's super Spaniard has successfully escaped from 90% of his pressure situations while 94% of his passes under pressure have gone to teammates.
84'
Triple swap
Timo Schultz makes three changes with Schmitz, Tigges and Huseinbašić coming on. The game looks up for the ten men, who will know doubt keep plugging away in the final minutes.
79'
Full-back power
Incredibly, Grimaldo and Frimpong have been directly involved in 32 Bundesliga goals for Leverkusen this term.
76'
99 for the season
Leverkusen are on 99 goals in all competitions in 2023/24. Wirtz looks to make it an even 100 with a shot at the target, but Schwäbe is equal to that effort.
73'
Grimaldo the Great
Once more, it's a Leverkusen full-back party. Frimpong scored the opener, and now Grimaldo has added a second. Adli does well to battle through on the left. His cut-back finds Grimaldo, who fires low, through Schwäbe. Bundesliga goal number nine for the Spaniard, to go with his nine assists. Amazing.

Diehl disappointment
That's awful for Justin Diehl, who has done his hamstring moments after coming on. There are tears in the teenager's eyes as he comes off to be replaced by Paqarada.
67'
Energetic Diehl
Diehl is straight into the thick of the action as he tries to race onto Alidou's through pass. The 19-year-old is muscled out of the action as Leverkusen bring the ball clear.

Changes all around
Leverkusen make a double swap with Amine Adli and Borja Iglesias thrown into the mix. Justin Diehl, meanwhile, is on for the hosts.

Stanišić booked
Josip Stanišić sees yellow for time wasting.
56'
Visitors pushing hard
Wirtz rolls the ball under his foot before whipping a cross into the area. His centre takes a deflection, sending the ball looping towards goal. Schwäbe palms over.
54'
Leverkusen free kick
... in an interesting position to the right of the D. Hofmann flicks it to Grimaldo, whose shot from distance is blocked.
50'
Cologne hit the post
Alidou releases Carstensen, whose chipped cut back reaches Adamyan in the centre. The Armenian connects with a flying volley and his effort bounces off the inside of the post and away from danger. Although unlucky, Adamyan should probably have scored there.
46'
Leverkusen change
Xabi Alonso has taken off the game's goalscorer Frimpong, who was on a booking. Nathan Tella comes on for the visitors.

Half-time: Cologne 0-1 Leverkusen
Xabi Alonso's men lead this Rhine Derby against the ten men of Cologne thanks to Jeremie Frimpong's eighth Bundesliga goal of the season. Despite having Jan Thielmann sent off inside the opening 15 minutes, the hosts caused one or two problems for the Bundesliga leaders in an entertaining opening 45 minutes.

Hosts go close
Cologne counter once more and Rasmus Carstensen sends an inviting cross towards the back stick. Faride Alidou arrives to head off target. That was a very good chance.
44'
Cologne denied
Adamyan goes down in the Cologne area and the home fans shout for a penalty. Nothing doing, says the referee.
43'
Frimpong going strong
Jeremie Frimpong brings his season's Bundesliga goals tally to eight, which matches his personal best haul for an entire season.
40'
Wirtz wants more
Florian Wirtz muscles through on the left and smashes a shot at the target from an angle. Schwäbe stands firm to make an important block.
38'
Leverkusen lead
Frimpong breaks the deadlock after Grimaldo's cross from the left is scuffed into the Dutch full-back's path by Schick. That brings Frimpng's Bundesliga goal involvements up to 20 for the season.

Adamyan effort
Cologne counter and the ball lands at the feet of Sargis Adamyan, whose shot is blocked by Hincapié inside the Bayer box. The home fans enjoyed that move.

Grimaldo again
From the resulting free kick, Grimaldo pings a shot onto the roof of the Cologne net.

Martel booked
Florian Wirtz skips through the Cologne defence, before Eric Martel chops down the Leverkusen No.10. The visiting players are furious as they surround Martel. The referee flashes one more yellow card.

Chabot challenge
A crucial intervention from the Cologne defender, who blocks off Hofmann as he was about to pull the trigger in front of goal.

Frimpong warned
Jeremie Frimpong lands a late challenge on Chabot and that's a booking for the B04 full back, meaning he will miss Leverkusen's next Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg through suspension.

Grimaldo off target
An uncharacteristically poor free kick from Leverkusen's Spain international flies off target and we still await this game's first goal.

Cologne down to ten
A disaster for the hosts. Thielmann lands his studs on Xhaka's achilles and that looks painful. The Leverkusen man is not happy at all with that challenge. The referee goes to the screen to check the incident and decides that Thielmann needs to walk.

Almost Ljubičić
Cologne arguably should be ahead here. A super counter-attack from the hosts leads to Maina crossing from the left. His centre lands on the head of the onrushing Dejan Ljubičić, who can only nod wide of the target.
9'
Bayer probing
Leverkusen come forward once more. Frimpong finds space on the right and crosses into the mixer. Julian Chabot hoofs clear.

Both sides are knocking it around as they look to settle into their respective shapes. The game is being played at a solid pace and amid a fantastic atmosphere.

A lovely build-up from the visitors ends with Schick - his back to goal - rolling the ball to Hofmann, who side-foots inches wide.

Xabi's half century
Today marks Xabi Alonso's 50th Bundesliga game as a coach. Only Pep Guardiola (80%), Hansi Flick (78%) and Carlo Ancelotti (73%) had a higher win rate than Leverkusen's tactician (65%).
Cologne's reasons for optimism
Last weekend's 1-1 draw away to high-flying Stuttgart meant that Cologne had picked up points in four of their previous five games (one win, 3 draws). The Billy-Goats were also the side to end Leverkusen's nine-game unbeaten streak in the second half of the 2022/23 campaign.
