Viktoria Köln's undefeated streak came to an end as 1860 Munich snatched a 1-0 victory, extending their own winning sequence to five matches.

Kevin volland's 38th-minute strike proved decisive, securing crucial three points for the bavarians.

The match started cautiously, with both teams feeling each other out early on. 1860's Tim Danhof sent a warning shot wide left in the eighth minute, while Viktoria's Leonhard Münst had a chance after a free-kick, only for 1860 goalkeeper Thomas Dähne to make a crucial save.

The Red Shorts took control as the game progressed, with Kevin Volland's clinical finish in the 38th minute breaking the deadlock and sending his side into the interval with a deserved lead.

Viktoria pushed hard for an equalizer after the restart, but 1860's defense held firm. Robin Velasco came close with a neat individual effort, but his shot struck the post and flew harmlessly wide.

As the game wore on, Viktoria's frustration grew, with Lars Dietz wasting a late header chance in the 85th minute. The miss proved costly, as 1860 saw out the remaining minutes to claim a hard-fought win.

With the victory, 1860 Munich climb to second place, just a point behind league leaders MSV Duisburg. Viktoria Köln, meanwhile, remain mid-table and must regroup ahead of their next fixture.
