Highlights from the first half:
9th minute: A shock start for SVW. Skhiri passes to Maina on the right hand side of the box, who sends the ball in the bottom left to make it 1-0 to FC Köln.
15th minute: Tigges scores the second goal for Köln. That hurts, and Werder are two goals behind after a quarter of an hour. Werder lose possession just outside their own box, Kainz takes advantage and plays in Tigges, who puts the ball in the net from around ten yards away.
21st minute: Tigges makes it 3-0. Pavlenka leaves his box to clear a Köln long ball, but gives the ball to Tigges, who lofts the ball over the defenders into an empty net from almost 40 yards out.
30th minute: The hosts score again, 4-0. There’s confusion in the box and Tigges somehow finds Skhiri with a back heel, who scores from close range.
36th minute: Tigges plays the ball square into the box to Huseinbasic, who slots home nicely from eight yards. 5-0.
38th minute: 5-1. Füllkrug rises highest from a corner and heads the ball into the right side of the net.
45+3 minute: Half time!
