Overview

  • Referee Annika Kost abandoned the Frauen-Bundesliga game in the 41st minute after a floodlight mast could not be restored in heavy rain.
  • Efforts to relight the stadium continued until shortly after 20:00 local time before the decision to stop play was confirmed.
  • Köln had taken the lead after 26 seconds through a Sandra Jessen header from a Donhauser cross.
  • Supporters waited in partial darkness as the stadium DJ played music and ball kids briefly kicked a ball on the pitch.
  • Both clubs remain scheduled to play next Sunday, with Leverkusen at TSG Hoffenheim at 16:00 and Köln hosting Union Berlin at 18:30.
