Viktoria Köln celebrates strong 2-0 victory against Wehen Wiesbaden!

On Saturday afternoon, April 26, 2025, FC Viktoria Köln in the Höhenberg sports park was able to celebrate a convincing 2-0 victory against SV Wehen Wiesbaden. With 3482 spectators, the backdrop was appropriate to accompany the game in which the Cologne team could stabilize themselves after a recently disappointing form.

In the first half, the game remained largely without any significant highlights. Both teams had a hard time playing out clear goal opportunities, so that the breakstand of 0-0 was not surprising. Nikolas Agrafiotis from Wiesbaden had the best chance of the first 45 minutes, but whose shot was brilliantly parried by Cologne goalkeeper Dudu. Fatih Kaya could not overcome Dudu either when he gave a possibility in the 34th minute.

club change at halftime brings change

coach Olaf Janßen reacted to the weak first half with a triple change, including the fresh Joker Albion Vrenezi. The change should turn out as the key to success. Vrenezi, active after the change of sides, brought new swing to the offensive of Cologne with his playing style.

In the 54th minute, Vrenezi himself had a huge chance when his cross from Said El Mala hit the crossbar. Just a few minutes later it was Vrenezi who served Lars Dietz in the 64th minute. Dietz took the opportunity ice cold and scored the 1-0 for Viktoria Cologne. This tour gave the team additional buoyancy, even if El Mala subsequently awarded another chance from a short distance.

Wiesbaden found hardly any access to the game in the second half and was only able to provide danger sporadically. When the game came to an end, El Mala set the final final point in the 85th minute by scoring the 2-0 after preparatory work by Semih Güler.

tabular situation and outlook

Viktoria Cologne consolidated with this victory, although they had previously left the promotion struggle. Wiesbaden, on the other hand, has established itself in the secured midfield of the table and does not have to worry about relegation or ascent.

Both teams had different motivations before the game. Cologne wanted to find back on track after two defeats in a row, while Wiesbaden is traveling in relatively calm fairway. The referee of the game was Martin Speckner, supported by Christopher Knauer and Daniela Göttlinger.

In the context of the league places and future encounters, the performance of Viktoria Köln remains to be seen, which want to contest the rest of the season with a possibly new momentum. Further information on the services of Cologne is available on Kicker .

In the coming week it will be about taking this swing and consolidating the services to successfully complete the remaining games of the season.
