1. FC Köln surrender victory at the last second

Gerhard Struber is used to derbies in his native Austria. But as coach of 1. FC Köln, for the first time he has to face a comparison between two teams that are not only characterized by an extraordinary sporting rivalry. The roots of this, to put it mildly, are the rivalry between Cologne and Düsseldorf that dates back to the 13th century. Since the Battle of Worringen, the cities have disliked each other. So now it’s a modern clash: the cathedral city against the state capital, which the people of Cologne want. The first football club against Fortuna.
