BVB women win 7-0, Köln II stumble: top spot now within reach | OneFootball

The situation has improved decisively for Borussia Dortmund’s women in the Regionalliga West. A defeat for league leaders 1. FC Köln II on the previous matchday has put the top of the table directly within Dortmund’s reach. That is also because they once again clearly dominated in their recent 7–0 win over Deutz and picked up their next victory.

More than 2,000 spectators were present at Stadion Rote Erde — especially honored with a special BVB jersey — as the Borussia women dismantled SV Deutz 05 7–0. That brought relief not least because they had lost 0–2 to this same opponent in the first half of the season, suffering one of only two defeats so far this campaign.

This time, however, they looked “composed from the opening whistle,” as BVB put it on their official website. “A thoroughly mature performance” had led to the emphatic victory. The flood of goals began in the very first minute. Annika Enderle had already missed a chance before then, but still put her side ahead before 60 seconds had elapsed.

When the 2–0 came in the 11th minute through an own goal, the course had been set for the commanding win it ultimately became. The further goals were scored by Melanie Schuster, Frederike Kempe and Annika Enderle again, making it 5–0 at the break.

Arminia Bielefeld lend BVB Women a helping hand

Ronja Leubner picked up the thread of the scoring again in the 49th minute, after which BVB took things a little easier. Later in the match, Rita Schumacher added another goal to make the final score 7–0.

League leaders 1. FC Köln II also won their match on this matchday, beating DJK Wacker Mecklenbeck 2–0. On the previous matchday, however, the Cologne side had slipped up in the way BVB had long been hoping for. Köln were beaten 4–1 by Arminia Bielefeld.

That leaves the current picture at the top of the Regionalliga West as follows: FC Köln still lead, with 47 points from 18 matches played. The Dortmund women sit right behind them, having collected 44 points from just 17 games so far.

A win in the rescheduled match would therefore bring the long-awaited move to the top of the table, since Dortmund have the clearly better goal difference at 82:10 compared to Köln’s 68:21. That also means the next consecutive promotion has moved within touching distance. As is well known, only the champions of the Regionalliga West are promoted to the 2. Bundesliga — which is BVB’s declared goal.

For now, though, there is a week’s break before BVB continue away at GSV Moers. That match will be played on April 12, 2026, with kickoff at 1 p.m.
