Fine, but how? Somehow we turned the game around, helped in part by referee Aaron Schmidthuber from Ottobrunn. A Bavarian helped BVB, in this case by awarding a penalty that infuriated our opponents.\n\nI still say Cologne had only themselves to blame.
They could have shot us to pieces in the first leg. A 4:0 or 5:0 there would have been no injustice.\n\nMichael Zorc, BVB's record player and a kind of Mister Borussia, pulled us back into the match after 54 minutes with the 1:1. He knew exactly what was at stake. Years later he summed it up by saying that this was about the existence of the club and of some players too.
