FC Augsburg continued its impressive form in the Bundesliga by defeating 1. FC Köln 2-0 on Friday night. This victory not only marked Augsburg's 500th Bundesliga match but also ended a six-match winless streak against Köln. Rodrigo Ribeiro scored a stunning goal to give Augsburg the lead in the 55th minute, highlighting the team's strong performance under coach Manuel Baum.

For 1. FC Köln, the situation is becoming increasingly dire as the team experiences significant pressure, having earned only one point from their last four matches. With the relegation battle intensifying, Köln faces the prospect of seeing their four-point cushion over the relegation zone shrink even further, potentially leading to a desperate situation this season.

The win for Augsburg marks a standout performance in what has been a challenging season for them in the Bundesliga. By adding three points to their tally, they solidified their position in the league, while Köln's coach Lukas Kwasniok will need to find solutions quickly as the team struggles to regain form and confidence.
