The home team must act in a tactical system in 4-3-3, with the objective of using the center aisle to invest in the offensive sector. In 12 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2 times.Ĭolónia enters this round after a 1-1 draw away from Mainz: Colónia was losing, however, in the 47th minute, Ozcan scored the “goal” of equality.
