NewzCologne 2-1 Borussia Mönchengladbach Goals: 1-0 Jóhannesson 26’, 1-1 Scally 39’ (assist: Ullirch), 2-1 El Mala 67’ (assist: Maina) Four changes greeted Cologne's starting line-up compared to their defeat at Hamburg on Matchday 4, with Borna Sosa, Sebastian Sebulonsen, Marius Bülter and Ísak Jóhannesson all receiving the nod. New Borussia Mönchengladbach head coach Alexander Blessin made only two alterations to the side beaten by Mainz last time out, handing Robin Hack and Daiki Hashioka starts whilst retaining the 3-4-2-1 shape. With just four points from their opening four matches and pressure mounting on head coach René Wagner, Cologne entered the 101st Bundesliga Rhine derby under considerable duress.
Things were even more dire for their visitors, however, with Borussia Mönchengladbach arriving without a single point this season and already having made a managerial change. It was a derby between two sides desperate for a result, and Cologne ultimately emerged victorious thanks to two spectacular goals, which prompted wild celebrations at the RheinEnergieStadion.
