Inter U19 snatched a dramatic victory in the final moments after Koln had looked set to earn a valuable point. The visitors dominated the early exchanges and took a deserved lead through Leonardo Bovio just after the break, but struggled to put the game to bed despite their territorial advantage. Koln's equalizer through Fynn Schenten with ten minutes remaining seemed to shift momentum completely, with the home side suddenly finding their rhythm after a series of tactical substitutions. However, Inter's fresh legs proved decisive in stoppage time as substitutes Dilan Zárate and Roberts Kukulis struck within minutes of each other to seal a crucial away win that keeps their UEFA Youth League campaign on track.
FC Köln U19 host Inter U19 in a UEFA Youth League Round of 32 knockout thriller at RheinEnergieStadion. Over 50,000 fans will create a new European youth football attendance record, as the defending U19 Bundesliga champions take on Inter's talented academy side in this single-elimination showdown.
