Emmanuel Dennis Opens FC Cologne Account In Shock German Cup Exit

Emmanuel Dennis scored his first goal for FC Cologne since joining on loan in their DFB Pokal exit at the hands of Bundesliga 2 side Jahn Regensburg on Wednesday night, Sports247 reports.

Dennis scored the second goal of the night to put Cologne 2-0 up inside 22 minutes but Jahn Regensburg fought back to level the score before the interval.

With 11 minutes left on the clock, Dennis was presented with the opportunity to put Cologne back ahead from the penalty spot.

His effort was saved which proved costly as the game headed to extra time.

The Nigerian international was withdrawn for compatriot, Toluwalase Arokodare in the first-half extra time.

Jahn Regensburg went on to win 4-3 on a penalty shoot-out, thereby advancing to the quarter-finals of the competition.
