Kevin McKenna vs. Rob Friend: A game of two halves

So at least no Canadian lost. But then again no Canadian won either. It's arguably a bigger dissapointment for FC Koeln's McKenna, whose club still has chances to be promoted into the Bundesliga. As we know today, FC Kaiserslautern lost against Cottbus, so Koeln are still only one point behind them on the 4th spot. So there still is hope!

Anthony Ujah had put FC Koeln ahead in the 7th minute. While McKenna played the entire game, Rob Friend, somewhat surprisingly, only played the 2nd half. It was no coincidence though, that 1860 Muenchen played much better when the Canadian joined the game. While Koeln had more chances overall, its fair to say that the first half was that of FC Koeln, while the second half belonged to TSV 1860 Muenchen.

In front of 49,100 fans, not a bad number for a 2nd division match, Daniel Halfar scored the equalizer in the 78th minute.

Let's hope, for McKenna, that Koeln can win the remaining 3 matches to make the playoffs, to have a chance to win promotion!

And let's also hope that Rob Friend will be back starting matches again, as we had grown used to!
