On Friday evening, 1. FC Köln celebrated a vital home win in the Bundesliga, defeating VfL Wolfsburg 1-0. The decisive goal came in the 29th minute when Linton Maina cut in from the edge of the penalty area and curled a slight deflection past the goalkeeper into the net.
The Kölner dominated much of the first half and had opportunities to extend their lead, but were too imprecise with their shots on goal. After the break, Wolfsburg pushed harder, increasing pressure in the final stages, yet repeatedly faltered against goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe and their own missed chances. By holding onto the slim advantage, Köln demonstrated resilience and made an important statement in their battle to stay in the top flight.
