Eintracht Frankfurt edge 1. FC Köln through late Ebnoutalib goal
Eintracht Frankfurt beat 1. FC Köln 1-0 at Deutsche Bank Park in a Bundesliga Matchday 6 fixture, with Younes Ebnoutalib's 77th-minute goal settling a contest that was goalless at half-time. The home side had lost 6-0 at RB Leipzig in their previous game, and this was a firm response.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Frankfurt controlled most of the play, finishing with 15 shots to nine and seven on target to Köln's three. They had 56% of possession and won seven corners to two, yet the breakthrough took until the 77th minute. Noël Aséko Nkili supplied the pass and Ebnoutalib scored the only goal of the match.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Eintracht Frankfurt 50%, the draw 26%, 1. FC Köln 24%. It finished Eintracht Frankfurt 1–0 1. FC Köln.
Frankfurt's strength edge, trimmed by the early season — Our strength rating has Eintracht Frankfurt a shade stronger, 1625 to 1546, and with home advantage we give them 50%, though both sides being inside their first six league games trims that, as home wins land softer this early. The draw sits at 26%, pulled down by the high-scoring recent games of both sides, averaging 4.4 goals, and nudged back up by the early season.
Why Eintracht Frankfurt at 50%?
Eintracht Frankfurt sit 79 points higher on our strength rating — 1625 to 1546. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.3% of 10,394 such games.
Why only 50%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Eintracht Frankfurt's column. Across 11,297 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.7%, with draws up 1.4 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.8%. These teams' recent games average 4.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,931. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
In our recorded league results, 1. FC Köln are winless in their last 15 away games: 6 draws and 9 defeats. The run began on 25 October 2025. Last recorded away league win: 3 October 2025 — 1899 Hoffenheim 0–1 1. FC Köln. Latest recorded away league result: 19 September 2026 — Hamburger SV 2–1 1. FC Köln. Across 13,756 historical matches involving visitors with at least six consecutive winless away league games, those visitors won 25.6%, compared with 25.0% expected from team strength. Eintracht Frankfurt have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
