BERLIN (AP) — Damion Downs scored in injury time to keep alive Cologne’s Bundesliga survival hopes Saturday with a 3-2 home win over Union Berlin, which is also fighting against the drop.

Cologne had to win to have any hope of escaping relegation, and the team came from two goals down to defer its fate to the final round next weekend.

It was the first time Union ever lost a Bundesliga game after enjoying a two-goal lead. And it came despite the club firing Nenad Bjelica as coach on Monday and reappointing Marco Grote as interim coach.

“The path hasn’t changed. It’s clear that it hasn’t gotten any easier because we lost,” Grote said.

Steffen Tigges equalized in the 87th minute for Cologne, then Downs headed the winner in the third minute of stoppage time.

“The three points are super important, and now we have a final on the last day,” said Cologne’s Timo Hübers, whose team faces promoted Heidenheim away next weekend.
