FC Köln Women

Match report

Köln Women secured a 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim at the Franz-Kremer-Stadion in the second round of the Frauen-Bundesliga regular season on Thursday. B. Sterner's second-half goal proved decisive in a match where the hosts managed to extend their unbeaten run to eight across all competitions, though this was their first league point of the campaign.

Sterner opened her account with a yellow card in the 51st minute before finding the net six minutes later. The 56th-minute goal came after Köln had weathered the storm from their away opponents, who had suffered back-to-back defeats to start the season.

Hoffenheim made three substitutions while Köln matched them with four changes across the second half. The visitors turned to the kids in an attempt to shift momentum, but the hosts kept their shape and picked up two bookings in five minutes to wind down the game.

Köln collected three yellow cards against Hoffenheim's clean disciplinary record. A. Bohnen and B. Sterner joined A. Gerhardt on the list of carded players, with the latter receiving her booking in the 88th minute.

The result leaves Köln eight in the table with three points from two games, while Hoffenheim sit 11th with zero points after two defeats. Köln had lost their opening fixture 2-0 away at Eintracht Frankfurt Women on 22 August before this turnaround.
