Full-time: Augsburg 1-1 Cologne
Cologne hold firm for an important point in their battle for survival, but Augsburg will be wondering how they have not come away with all three points after creating so many chances. Their winning streak comes to an end, and their hopes of playing in Europe next season suffer a setback.

Schwäbe saves again!
It is not for a lack of trying that Augsburg are not leading here, as Schwäbe makes another fine stop from a venomous Vargas effort.
76'
Deflected over
Vargas has a go, but his shot takes a deflection and loops agonisingly over the crossbar.
71'
Off the line!
Beljo turns a cross towards the goal with a backeel, but Thielmann is covering on the line and clears as he tumbles into the goal! What a clearance!
67'
Foul before goal
Uduokhai puts the ball into the back of the net, but a few seconds after the referee had blown his whistle. It was a foul by Uduokhai which made space for the shot in the first place.
65'
Thielmann so close!
Out of nowhere, Cologne go close to snatching the lead! Thielmann takes aim from 25 yards out and it deflects just wide of the post.

Half-time: Augsburg 1-1 Cologne
Augsburg had chances to be out of sight, but they lowered their guard once and were punished. Schwäbe's keeping the Billy Goats in the game, but how long can he hold firm? 45 more minutes to find out...

Close again!
An inspired Schwäbe dives low to his right to turn Jakić's next effort behind for a corner. Another fine save!
Safe for Selke

Fit to continue
It may just have been a diversion by Schwäbe to stop the clock and allow Selke to receive treatment without needing to leave the field! Both players are fit to continue.
39'
Schwäbe suffering
That save may well be Schwäbe's last involvement. He's gone down holding his hip, perhaps having landed badly after his heroic stop.
36'
Jakić goes close!
Augsburg's lead almost immediately restored, with Jakić heading Maier's corner towards the goal, but Schwäbe claws it away.
33'
Selke strikes
He had only seen the ball seven times up to this moment, but he was alert when it mattered to tap in an equaliser, completing a quick and effective Cologne counterattack.

Good omen for Augsburg
Augsburg have not lost a single game this season after scoring the opening goal.
18'
First blood!
A succession of single-touch passes sees the ball fall at the feet of Maier, who has already delivered three dangerous corners, and now delivered a deadly finish into the bottom right-hand corner. Augsburg lead!

Sunday is Augsburg's day
Augsburg have won four games on a Sunday so far this season, including a 5-2 against Heidenheim in which they trailed 2-0. Could Sunday be their day again today?
12'
Cologne confident
You would not guess that Cologne are in the bottom two - they look more confident than Augsburg at the moment.

The magic of the armband
Rexhbecaj takes aim from nearly 25 yards, and it's not a bad hit either, only just missing the right-hand upright. Today's captain for Augsburg appears to be inspired by the armband.

Jakić at the near post
Jakić meets Maier's corner at the near post, but he cannot guide the ball on target.

Cologne overhaul
There are no fewer than four changes to the Cologne startng XI compared to the 5-1 defeat to Leipzig. Hübers, Thielmann, Ljubicic and Selke all come in for Carstensen, Martel, Finkgräfe (on the bench) and Kilian (not in the squad).
Change of captain

Dahmen - Mbabu, Gouweleeuw, Uduokhai, Iago - Jensen, Rexhbecaj (c), Jakić, Maier, Vargas - Tietz
Augsburg subs:
Koubek, Pedersen, Beljo, Pep Biel, Breithaupt, Michel, Bauer, Engels, Kömür
