For the 2017/18 season she signed a two-year contract for the Bundesliga team, but initially continued to play for the second team. Her debut in a competitive first-team game followed on April 15, 2018 in the DFB Cup semi-final, which was lost 3-1 against FC Bayern Munich, with her substitution for Anna Gasper in the 60th minute. She finally made her Bundesliga debut three days later, on April 18, 2018 (14th matchday), when she was in the starting line-up in the 1-0 home win against SC Freiburg and was substituted for Wibke Meister in the 72nd minute .

In the summer of 2019 she moved to the University of Massachusetts Amherst to the Umass Minutewomen in the USA for a dual career combining studies and football . However, she returned after only a year.

In the penalty shootout in the final game against Spain, she converted the decisive penalty to 3-1, which meant winning the European championship. With three goals she was also the top scorer of the tournament. Since 2017 she has been part of the U-19 national team , with which she qualified for the European vintage championships in Switzerland in 2018 , where she became vice European champion after a 0-1 final defeat against Spain. As in the U-17 European Championship the year before, Kössler played in all five tournament games.
