In the closely contested Bundesliga Women's match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and 1.FC Köln, each team secured a single point, ending the game in a 1-1 draw. Köln drew first blood in the first half, scoring an early goal 34 minutes into the game. This initial strike provided them with a psychological edge, positioning them to control the game's tempo in the first half. However, Leverkusen responded resiliently by netting an equalizer early in the second half, demonstrating their ability to regain momentum under pressure.

Leverkusen's offensive strategy was evidenced by their seven corner kicks compared to Köln’s two, highlighting their dominance in creating goal-scoring opportunities. Despite being more prolific in pressing forward, Leverkusen faced challenges in converting these chances, partly due to Köln's compact defensive structure. Leipzig’s advantage in corner kicks indicates superior territorial control and suggests that their set-piece execution, although frequent, lacked the cutting edge to clinch a decisive second goal.

Köln's defensive discipline was tested throughout the match, reflected in their two yellow cards and a higher foul count of 17, compared to Leverkusen's 14 fouls. This aggressive defensive approach, aimed at disrupting Leverkusen’s rhythm, resulted in occasional lapses that could have tilted the match in favor of the home team. The single offside call against Köln also indicates their attempts to stretch Leverkusen's back line, albeit without consistent success. In contrast, Leverkusen managed to maintain composure, free from any offsides, showing precision in their forward play.
