Draw in top clash: BVB women let victory over Köln slip away | OneFootball

No winners in the top match. Borussia Dortmund and the second team of 1. FC Köln drew 1-1 (1-0) on Friday evening (December 5). Celina Baum put the Black and Yellows ahead early after six minutes. Marie Danuta Meißner equalized in the 64th minute.

After sharing the points, nothing changes in the Regionalliga standings. The U21 team from Cologne remains at the top with 38 points and will go into the long winter break in first place. BVB follows in second place, still three points behind. This keeps the Westphalians in a promising position in the race for promotion to the 2. Bundesliga.

For the last home game of the year at the Stadion Rote Erde, 2,036 spectators turned up early at 11 a.m. They saw a Dortmund side that started more actively and was rewarded early by Baum’s goal. However, as the first half progressed, the Cologne team grew stronger and pressed for the equalizer. However, due to numerous injury breaks, the game never really found its flow.

Köln equalizes

The Rhinelanders continued their efforts after the break—this time with success. Meißner scored with a direct shot to make it 1-1. The equalizer for Cologne’s U21 was, after exactly 604 minutes, the first goal Dortmund had conceded at home this season. In the final quarter of an hour, BVB increased their offensive efforts. Paula Reimann had the best chance to regain the lead, but her shot from eleven meters went just over the crossbar. The score remained 1-1.

There are still eleven matches scheduled for 2026. The next matchday is set for March 15. Then, Dortmund will play away against their namesakes from Mönchengladbach. The match against Gladbach’s second team will kick off at 12 p.m.
