On Aachner Straße outside the city, near the old military ring, a rather large blue spot suddenly appeared amid the hustle and bustle of hundreds of cars. The Karlsruher SC team bus took the correct exit. He had to painstakingly make his way to the underground car park of the Cologne Stadium. The driver was unable to prevent a delay of a few minutes, so the Baden team did not reach the meeting point in Müngersdorf Park in time, and the match started at 1 o’clock. FC Köln started ten minutes late.
