Result and announcement
SC Freiburg beat 1. FC Cologne 1-0 at the Muengersdorfer Stadion on 3 February 2001. Levan Kobiashvili converted a penalty in the 87th minute to decide the Bundesliga round-20 match. Neither team had scored in the first half, leaving the contest level until the late spot kick.
Detail
The official DFB record lists Kobiashvili under the German transliteration Lewan Kobiaschwili. His penalty was the game's only goal, rather than a second strike added to an earlier lead. Richard Golz started in Freiburg's goal opposite Cologne's Alexander Bade, and the visitors kept the clean sheet needed to turn that single goal into victory.
Context and dates
Volker Finke coached Freiburg and Ewald Lienen the home side. Both teams made attacking changes before the winner: Freiburg introduced Regis Dorn for Adel Sellimi, while Cologne brought on Artschil Arweladse and Georgi Donkow. The official attendance was 28,500. The result and exact event date are retained in the historical archive without presenting the match as a newly played fixture.
