COLOGNE, Germany (Reuters) – Amadou Haidara’s second-half goal rescued a 1-1 draw for RB Leipzig at Cologne on Saturday, helping the side avoid their third straight league defeat although they remain stuck in the lower half of the Bundesliga table. Following an exciting first half where both teams hit the woodwork, Anthony Modeste put the hosts in front in the 53rd minute following a VAR review. Emil Forsberg forced a good save from Cologne keeper Timo Horn in the 64th with a volley from a tight angle. But the visitors snatched a deserved equaliser when Haidara powered in his header from a corner at the near post in the 71st. Leipzig drop to 13th place with four points from five matches, while Cologne climbed to sixth on eight points.
