FC Köln's 1-0 victory over SC Freiburg lifts them off the brink of relegation

FC Köln has secured their first win in five matches, lifting them off the brink of relegation after a 1-0 victory over SC Freiburg on Saturday.

The match was played at the Allianz Arena and saw both teams struggle to find their feet early on, with both sides struggling to break down the defensive line. However, FC Köln managed to find some form in the second half, with striker Andreas Huygen scoring his first goal for the club since October 2017.

SC Freiburg were also able to find some moments of momentum, but it wasn't enough to prevent the visitors from securing their first win in five matches. The defeat leaves FC Köln one point behind Real Madrid and Real Sociedad in the Bundesliga table, meaning they will now have to fight hard to avoid relegation.

However, the victory was a significant step forward for the club, as it lifted them out of the relegation zone. With just three games left to play, FC Köln remain confident that they can finish the season strong and potentially qualify for Europe.

Overall, the win against SC Freiburg is a positive sign for FC Köln, who will now need to focus on remaining competitive throughout the remainder of the season. With only two rounds left to play, they will be looking to make a strong push for promotion to the Bundesliga next season.
