The RB Leipzig women's soccer team started the new Bundesliga season with an away win. Head coach Jonas Stephan's newly formed team won 2:0 (1:0) at 1. FC Köln. Marleen Schimmer (14th minute) put the visitors ahead with a shot from 25 meters. However, Cologne's keeper looked anything but good.
From the 57th minute onwards, Cologne had to play short-handed as Celina Degen, who had already been cautioned, was shown a yellow card for clipping. Leipzig took advantage of this: after a quickly taken corner, Sandra Starke (63) headed home to make it 2-0.
