However, the bottom side Bochum pulled a shocker and gave their second defeat in the Bundesliga. Both teams took almost the entire first half with no single goal recorded, until Philipp Hofmann gave Bochum side a much needed goal at the 43rd minute mark to lift over the verlin. What a great assist by Forster who crossed and slashed the defense before breaking and passing it to the running Hofmann. The first half ended with Bochum on the lead and gaining the momentum of the match.
The second half is still similar, both teams struggled to find good looks on the net. Whenever Berlin made a good run and attack, Bochum kept on adjusting their defense and filled the holes of their defense in order to limit and irritate Berlin’s attackers. Julian Ryeson received the yellow card for Berlin at the 70th minute mark, and with almost less than a minute, Gerrit Holtmann scored the second and winning goal of Bochum with the help of Antwi-Adjei.
Tim Skarke of Union Berlin received another yellow card at the 78th minute to continue the suffering and misfortunes of Berlin in the Matchday 11. Despite Milos Pantovic scoring a goal at the extended time for Union Berlin, it was not enough to at least level the game. The match ended with the score of 2-1, in favor of VFL Bochum.
Bochum have scored seven goals in four games under Thomas Letsch, with four coming from set pieces. They failed to score any from dead balls before he took over this season. Holtmann got his first Bundesliga goal as a substitute in his 34th appearance from the bench. His first eight goals had all been as a starter.
On the other side, Bayern Munich sustained their winning streak after a 5-0 demolition of SC Freiburg, as they defeated Hoffenheim 2-0 at Rhein-Neckar Arena. The teenager prodigy scored the first goal for Bayern Munich at the 17th minute mark for the match and followed by Choupo-Moting at the 38th to secure the victory for the Defending Champion side at just the first half of the match. This is just the second win of the Bundesliga for VFL Bochum to move off the bottom ahead of Shaclke’s game at Hertha Berlin.
