On Saturday night, FC Köln secured their place in the Bundesliga relegation zone after beating VfL Bochum 1-0 at home. The result was a crucial victory for the Cologne-based club, who have struggled this season and currently sit bottom of the table.

The match started with both teams looking to take control of the game early on, but it wasn't until the 27th minute that FC Köln found the breakthrough. A well-worked move saw Kevin Trapp find space on the left-hand side of the penalty area, where he delivered a pinpoint cross which was met by substitute Modeste. The Ivorian forward headed the ball past the goalkeeper to give his team the lead.

VfL Bochum put pressure on FC Köln in the second half, but they were unable to find the equaliser as the match ended 1-0 to FC Köln. With the result, FC Köln have now confirmed their place in the relegation zone for the rest of the season, leaving them just two points clear of the bottom three places.

Modeste's goal was a key moment in the match, securing his team's place in the relegation race while also providing a boost to the morale of the squad. Despite the loss, FC Köln will be hoping to bounce back in their next match against Hamburger SV on Wednesday night.
