Modeste's Strike Powers FC Köln to 1-0 Win Over SC Freiburg, Relieving Relegation Woes.

FC Köln secured their survival in the Bundesliga relegation battle with a convincing 1-0 victory over SC Freiburg on Saturday night at the RheinEnergie Stadion.

The match was played in front of a packed crowd and was marked by high intensity from both teams. FC Köln started the game brightly and took control of the tempo, creating several chances but failing to find the back of the net.

In the 52nd minute, however, the breakthrough came when Florian Weidenfeller found space in the penalty area and rifled the ball past goalkeeper Jan Oblak. The goal was scored after a long build-up involving several players on the left side of the field.

Freiburg tried to come back in the second half, but they couldn't create enough opportunities to level the score. The visitors struggled to get into the right areas and were forced to settle for a draw.

With the win, FC Köln moved up to 18th place in the table, leaving them one point behind third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. This move will give them breathing room as they look ahead to the remaining matches of the season.

Relegation fears for Freiburg have also been lifted as they remain 4 points above bottom club VfL Wolfsburg. With two games left in the season, the team can still make it to safety if they continue to play well.

Overall, this result is a positive one for FC Köln and provides much-needed confidence going forward. They now face tough fixtures against Borussia Dortmund and Leverkusen in the next few weeks, so they'll need to maintain their focus and keep winning games to stay in the top half of the league.
