Koln 2 - 1 Hamburger : Cologne come from behind to beat Hamburg 2-1 in the Bundesliga
Posted Saturday, August 29, 2015 by PA
Cologne came from behind to get the better of Hamburg 2-1 at the Mungersdorfer Stadion, thanks in no small part to a controversial second-half penalty decision.
Sven Schipplock stole in between some sleeping Cologne defenders and pulled the ball back for Lewis Holtby, to place his shot low into the bottom left-hand corner and give Hamburg the lead in the second half.
Philipp Hosiner then ghosted in between two defenders to turn Jonas Hector's cross in from close range to bring Cologne level, and the turnaround was complete minutes later in dubious circumstances.
Anthony Modeste lost his balance inside the penalty area under the close watch of Emir Spahic, who was adjudged to have pushed the Cologne forward and was shown a red card by the referee, who pointed to the spot.
Modeste stepped up himself to put Cologne in front with 10 minutes remaining, and they held on to extend their unbeaten start to the season with their second win out of three.
