The opener was scored at the other end of the pitch with 30 minutes played as Patrick Herrmann teed up for Embolo, who curled the ball from inside the box into the far corner to take a narrow 1-0 advantage into the half time.
The "Foals" remained in control of proceedings after the restart and they should have doubled their lead but Herrmann was unable to beat onrushing Cologne goalkeeper Timo Horn in the 51st minute.
