Downs scores late to keep Cologne up and defer Bundesliga relegation decisions to final day

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 dropped into the relegation zone with one round remaining. Cologne had to win to have any hope of escaping the drop, and the team came from two goals down to defer its fate until next weekend. It was the first time Union ever lost a Bundesliga game after enjoying a two-goal lead.
