Hesse: Eintracht women again second in the table after beating Cologne

Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - Thanks to a 2-0 (0-0) win against 1. FC Köln, the women's soccer team from Eintracht Frauen regained second place in the Bundesliga. Shekiera Martinez in the 60th minute and national player Laura Freigang (64th) scored for the Hessians on Sunday in front of 2735 spectators. With 17 points, the still undefeated Frankfurt women again pushed past Bayern Munich (16) and are the first pursuers of table leaders and defending champions VfL Wolfsburg (21) in the international break.

The success for coach Niko Arnautis' team could have been even greater. The aluminum stood in the way of further hits three times. Lara Prasnikar hit the post in the 1st minute and hit the crossbar ten minutes before the end, which Freigang (75th) also missed once.
