German-born Ghanaian youngster Justin Diehl scored in FC Köln II's 3-3 draw with FC Gütersloh in the German Regionalliga West Round 16. 

The Young Bucks, who had gone undefeated in four games, fell down early against Gutersloh, conceding two goals. Lennard Rolf scored in the 8th minute, Eduard Probst in the 25th, and Tim Manstein in the 74th minute.

Damion Downs scored in the 32nd minute with a direct shot after a cross that was deflected too short, Emin Kujovic scored just before halftime with a fantastic strike, and Justin Diehl scored after excellent preparation by Adam Lenges in the 81st minute.

This implies that three previous season's Junior DFB Cup champions are now memorialized in the game sheet. Against Gutersloh, Evangelos Sbonias used a total of 10 players born in 2004.

The FC Koln U-21s will play their next game on Friday evening, when they travel to Fortuna Düsseldorf in the Rhenish derby.
