Cologne –
It was the captain’s birthday – a good reason for third division soccer club FC Viktoria Köln to mobilize the last of their reserves of strength in the last game of the year. Marcel Risse celebrated his 32nd special day on Friday, the ex-Bundesliga professional would have loved to say goodbye to his Viktoria with a win in the short winter break.
The Höhenbergers did not succeed in this in any way, FC Viktoria conceded a 1: 4 (1: 2) against newly promoted Viktoria Berlin due to an indisputable defensive performance and is stuck deep in the table cellar.

Once again, Cologne’s trainer Olaf Janßen had put his team in a new corset and switched to a three-way defense chain. After a tough start, the game really picked up speed after half an hour at the latest, initially with more fortune for Berlin: Tolcay Cigerci crossed the ball precisely to Lucas Falcao, who headed the ball into the goal of the hosts (31) .
The Viktoria seemed to be kissed awake despite the goal, a sharp cross from the young Niklas May carried Berlin’s Yamada with an own goal to 1-1 under the crossbar (35th).
The joy on the part of Cologne lasted just four minutes. Christopher Theisen completed a counterattack for the renewed guest tour – but from a highly suspicious position. Olaf Janßen rumbled and saw yellow-red shortly before the break, from then on, assistant Markus Brzenska took over responsibility for the line.
“With a little more sensitivity, the referee can leave it with a warning,” said Viktoria’s sports director Marcus Steegmann, critically assessing the decision of the referee Konrad Oldhafer (Hamburg).
At the latest after Theisen’s second goal (48th), the disaster for Cologne finally took its course, Jakob Lewald even gave those on the right bank of the Rhine a debacle (76th).
Viktoria: Nicolas – Rossmann (46th Berzel), Fritz (55th Möller), Buballa – Klefisch – Koronkiewicz, Sontheimer (75th Lorch), May – Risse (75th Amyn), Marseiler, Handle (67th Hong). – Spectator: 1950. – Tore: 0:1 Falcao (31.), 1:1 Yamada (35./Eigentor), 1:2, 1:3 Theisen (39./48.), 1:4 Lewald (76.). – Berry.
