This Bundesliga - Women clash held on January 28, 2024, saw a gritty display from Eintracht Frankfurt (Wom) as they edged out the visiting 1. FC Koln (Wom) with a solitary goal. Despite a challenging second half filled with cautions, Frankfurt managed to hold their nerve and secure a crucial win.

The home side scored their only goal in the 22nd minute, imposing their clout and striking successfully at an early stage of the game. This goal, although early, was pivotal in dictating the course of the match and affecting Koln's approach and tactics, as they had to play on the backfoot.

The match was scattered with corner kicks, five from Eintracht Frankfurt, and six from 1. FC Koln, but both teams failed to translate these set-piece opportunities into goals. Frankfurt traditionally has a strong set-piece gameplay but were kept in check by a valiant defence from the Cologne-based team.

An unfortunate trend for Eintracht Frankfurt during the match was their indiscipline, picking up three yellow cards all during the second half. This disrupted their rhythm and game flow, particularly towards the later stages of the match as their card count started ticking up. The fouls committed by Frankfurt further amplified this narrative, with the home team committing 16 fouls compared to Koln's 11. Despite the higher foul count, Frankfurt’s solid defending helped them keep a clean sheet.

On the contrary, 1. FC Koln navigated the ninety minutes without a single booking and fewer fouls. However, their disciplined approach wasn't fruitful enough, in terms of offensive production, to disrupt Frankfurt's defence.

In terms of the offside trap, both teams were caught out once each demonstrating an evenly matched tactical battle in this regard. The execution and accuracy of Frankfurt's offside trap were crucial in their defence of the one-goal lead.

All in all, Eintracht Frankfurt (Wom) managed to capitalize on their early lead, coupled with stern defence and disciplined offside trapping which was instrumental in the outcome of the match despite a higher foul and yellow card count. 1.FC Koln (Wom) will surely look to improve their efficiency in making the most of set-pieces in the future as their six unsuccessful corner kicks proved critical in their inability to fight back.
