After a total of over 100 minutes, Boike finally blows the whistle for the game. All in all, it was a deserved victory for the Cologne team. The players from the Rhineland demonstrated high effectiveness in the first half and only allowed little in the second half. However, there was a bit of a lack of concentration at the end when Nuremberg found reserves of strength again. However, the hosts were unable to equalize.
