35
1:35 p.m
No, the distance is too great and Myrthe Moorrees’ cross is intercepted.
34
13:34
Yellow card for Joelle Wedemeyer (VfL Wolfsburg)
Tactical foul on Weronika Zawistowska near the boards. Will the next standard goal fall now?
31
13:31
Joelle Wedemeyer puts through on the right for Svenja Huth, who actually has the right idea with the pass from the baseline to the backcourt. However, no one ran.

13:29
Half an hour has been played and the game has calmed down a bit for the first time.
29
13:28
You have to compliment the home fans, who keep singing different songs.
27
13:27
Wolfsburg is now trying again to take the reins of action into its own hands for a longer period of time. When it comes to ball control, the Wolves can of course hardly be fooled.
25
13:25
Nice pass from Jule Brand to Tabea Waßmuth, who has all the space and time in the world on the left side of the penalty area! There has to be more to it than just a harmless lob into Manon Klett’s arms.
22
13:23
Even the second goal doesn’t bother the guests and they continue to play well forward.
20
13:22
All three goals so far have come from set pieces.

Tooor for VfL Wolfsburg, 2:1 by Marina Hegering
Stories that only football writes! Twice Marina Hegering falls trying to break away from Genessee Puntigam and causes the set piece to be delayed. Then it is the moved up central defender who extends Felicitas Rauch’s sharp cross with a header into the far corner!
18
13:19
The free kick that followed was delayed because Marina Hegering seems to have hurt herself in a lunge without any opposition.
17
13:17
Yellow card for Genessee Puntigam (1. FC Cologne)
The left-back holds on to her opponent a little too long and is cautioned for the tactical foul.
15
13:15
Wolfsburg tries to control the game. A cross from Felicitas Rauch ends up in the arms of Manon Klett. From the game, the hostesses do not succeed too much.

13:12
The equalizer is not undeserved, the women from the cathedral city keep up very well in the first quarter of an hour and don’t hide.
10
13:10
Tooor for 1. FC Köln, 1:1 by Myrthe Moorrees
The second goal is also scored by standard! Central defender Myrthe Moorrees cheated a little, placing the ball in front of the drawn semicircle. From about 20 meters, she flicks the free kick into the nearby Winkeleck, which is worth seeing. Everything open again!

Tooor for VfL Wolfsburg, 1:0 by Pauline Bremer
And she sits! Svenja Huth flicks the cross sharply to the edge of five. Pauline Bremer comes rushing to the near post and extends the ball into the middle. Bremer is the woman for the important goals these weeks.
7.
13:07
Wolfsburg also started early, so a lively exchange of blows developed in the early stages. Svenja Huth pulls out a corner kick from the left.
5.
13:06
The Huge chance for Cologne! Selina Cerci finds a low cross from the left at the penalty spot. The attacker can still take the ball, but the shot gets too central in the arms of Merle Frohms. You have to use such opportunities against VfL!
3.
13:03
When countering, two women from Cologne are lurking at the top, two are still moving up. The FC is actually very courageous in the game for the title candidate.
2.
13:03
Tabea Waßmuth comes down the right side and is looking for Pauline Bremer up front. The cross is intercepted and cleared to the first corner.
1.
13:01
And off! Wolfsburg in poison green has offense.

game start
12:58 p.m
The teams enter the field! It’s cloudy and quite cold in the Allerstadt today. The AOK Stadium is still well attended.
12:45 p.m
Wolfsburg and Cologne met twice this season, VfL won twice in the cathedral city 4-0 – first in the first leg and then in the DFB Cup quarter-finals. FC has never won against the Wolves.
12:27
Despite the precarious table and personnel situation, the cathedral city has announced that it does not want to hide. “You’re not allowed to stand in the back with the team bus. We also want to play forward,” said Nicole Bender-Rummler beforehand.
12:24
VfL coach Tommy Stroot has to do without the long-term injured Lena Lattwein and Ewa Pajor who has a cold. Tabea Waßmuth therefore acts in the front line, Jule Brand plays on the ten. On the Cologne side, Adriana Achcińska and Lotta Cordes are injured, Sharon Beck is suspended. Only three outfield players are on the bench today.
12:15 p.m
With the FC women, a task that is more than feasible on paper awaits VfL. Even after the dismissal of Sascha Glass and since interim coach Nicole Bender-Rummler took over, Cologne is still at risk of relegation. The Rhinelanders have only scored once away from home this season, in a goalless draw in Potsdam. The lead over the relegation zone is only two meager points.
12:08 p.m
In the league it is still important for the Wolves to stay on the heels of leaders Bayern. The Munich team presented with a narrow 2-1 win in Essen yesterday and are four points ahead of VfL again. A home win against Cologne today is a must in order not to fall behind.
12:06
VfL is in the Champions League final! The Wolves beat Arsenal 3-2 after extra time in London. Pauline Bremer scored the decisive goal in the 119th minute. Wolfsburg still has the chance of three titles. In the DFB-Pokal on May 18th it’s against Freiburg, the Champions League final against Barcelona takes place on June 3rd in Eindhoven.
12:01
Happy Sunday afternoon and welcome to the women’s Bundesliga game between VfL Wolfsburg and 1. FC Köln! It starts at 1 p.m. in the Allerpark.
