The footballers of 1. FC Köln have set an exclamation point in the fight for relegation in the Bundesliga.
After the last eleven league games without a win or a goal, FC won the basement duel against MSV Duisburg convincingly 4-0 (3-0) and left the relegation zone. Ex-national player Mandy Islacker (32nd, 45+1, 51st) surpassed with a three-pack.
In front of Islacker, Weronika Zawistowska (16th) made it 1-0. Cologne initially jumped to ninth place, but played one game more than MSV, who is eleventh. The negative series in Cologne cost trainer Sascha Glass his job. The area manager, Nicole Bender-Rummler, is currently responsible for the time being.
