Wolfsburg draw gives it a boost
VFL Wolfsburg grabbed a late equalizer through Mario Mandzukic to rescue a 1-1 draw on Sunday against Eintracht Frankfurt and keep its survival hopes alive.
Croatian Mandzukic rose high to meet a deep Diego cross and head in the deserved equalizer in the 85th minute with the 2009 champion down to 10 men and having missed a bagful of chances. Alexander Meier had put the visitors into the lead on the hour against the run of play, after Halil Altintop's shot was cleared, giving new coach Christoph Daum reason to smile.
Wolfsburg, which won the 2009 Bundesliga title under Felix Magath before his return late last month, had failed to find the net despite dominating most of the game.
Forward Patrick Helmes, who alone missed half a dozen chances, also failed twice to beat goalkeeper Ralf Faehrmann in one-on-one situations early in the second half before Meier struck on the break.
Cologne saw its chances of staying up also improve considerably when Milivoje Novakovic scored a stoppage-time goal to give it a crucial 1-0 win over Nuremberg and dent its opponents' European aspirations.
