Cologne draws at Stuttgart (1-1)

Sebastian Andersson was the knight with the shining armor for Cologne. He managed to rescue a 1-1 draw for his team after a very rough start of Cologne against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Friday. Stuttgart's Orel Mangala's performance was also praiseworthy. He scored a goal for his team before any visiting player even touched the ball. Gonzalo Castro rushed forward and the ball worked its way through Sasa Kalajdzic and Daniel Didavi. After merely 24 seconds of playing, Kalajdzic laid the ball back for Mangala to squash it to the roof of the net. However, Didavi bashed the crossbar in the third minute. The visitors had a lifeline in the 23rd minute because of Atakan Karazor's penalty. Andersson brought a ray of hope by dusting himself off to equalize from the spot.
