In a thrilling encounter between Mainz 05 and 1. FC Köln at the RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday, both sides were content to settle for a draw in their match. Despite the fact that Köln had more possession than their opponents, they failed to find the back of the net.

The game began with both teams looking to take control of the contest from the outset. However, it was Mainz who took the lead in the 27th minute through a header from Benjamin Kiel. The goal gave the visitors the upper hand as they looked to extend their lead over Köln.

However, Köln refused to go down without a fight. In the 69th minute, they equalized through a header from Yannick Bolasie. The equalizer proved to be crucial as it allowed the home side to hold onto their lead until full time.
