The match between 1.FC Köln and 1. FC Kaiserslautern on 18 May 2025 concluded with a commanding 4-0 victory for the home side. Köln's attacking prowess was evident from the early stages, as they capitalized on defensive lapses to score twice in the first half. Their ability to convert chances proved crucial, supported by a high shot accuracy, which was a decisive factor against the visitors’ lackluster defense.

Kaiserslautern struggled to contain Köln's fluid attacking play, reflected in the two yellow cards they received, indicative of their attempts to disrupt their opponent’s rhythm. Their discipline issues stemmed from being consistently outmaneuvered, leading to 12 fouls. These disruptions, however, failed to deter Köln, who maintained composure and exploited open spaces efficiently, particularly in the second half with another two goals.

Although both teams had a similar number of corner kicks — with Köln having a slight edge at six compared to Kaiserslautern's five — it was the home side's creative play from open positions that truly dismantled the visitors. Kaiserslautern’s inability to transition effectively and convert these opportunities into meaningful goal-scoring chances was a significant difference in performance, culminating in a match without any goals. The match underscored Köln's superior teamwork and strategic patience, which consistently pressured a resolute yet overwhelmed Kaiserslautern defense.
