Full-time: Bochum 2-1 Greuther Fürth

Hofmann's brace sent VfL on their way to secure a crucial victory, but they'll have to wait a little longer before securing their Bundesliga 2 status. Futkeu's late strike was unable to initiate a comeback for the visitors, who occupy the relegation zone.

The huge chance...

...for Bochum. Marshall has the empty goal in front of him, but can't control the ball properly. That was a golden opportunity to restore VfL's two-goal cushion.

Fürth running out of time

There's five minutes remaining. What do the Franconians have up their sleeve?

Deficit halved!

Now it's getting exciting again. First Klaus hits the post and Futkeu misses. Then the second wave rolls through Higl, who delivers the ball from the right. Hrgota misses at first, before Futkeu fires in to bring the visitors to within one goal of Bochum.

There it was!

Horn has to intervene for the first time. Hrgota serves Klaus with a magnificent pass, who finishes from close range but Horn prevents the goal with a fine save.

The writing is on the wall

Bochum are defending passionately now and are remaining compact in a low block. Fürth simply can't find a way through and all signs point to a VfL victory.

Bochum clearly better

At the moment, Bochum are closer to making it 3-0 than Fürth are to making it 1-2. The Cloverleaves can't get into the match and aren't posing their opponents much of a threat.

0:30

Goal or not?

Via a deflection, the ball reaches Loosli, who heads the ball onto the crossbar. From there, it bounces to Hofmann, who scores what would have been his third goal. However, Loosli was offside during his attempt, so the score remains 2-0.

Do it again...

...shout the fans. Wittek with another corner from the left. Although the first ball doesn't reach Hofmann, Alfa-Ruprecht finds Hofmann's head. The double goalscorer doesn't even need to jump and gets a completely free header but Prüfrock stretches himself to his full length and just manages to prevent the ball from going in.

Half-time: Bochum 1-0 Greuther Fürth

The hosts got off to a dream start through Hofmann and took the lead in the first minute. After that, however, the match flattened out significantly, with clear attacking moves being the exception on both sides. The best chance fell to Futkeu, whose header hit the crossbar in the 28th minute. Ten minutes later, Hrgota missed another big opportunity from 11 metres out, putting the ball wide of the goal. Bochum are managing the lead confidently so far, while the visitors, with an xGoals value of 0.18, are struggling to create anything going forward.

Four minutes to go

Due to the stoppages, Willenborg adds four minutes of injury time.

A set piece for once

Bochum get a corner through Wittek. The Bochum player delivers the ball from the left, but it's cleared at the near post.

39'

He has to hit the target!

Hrgota gets a free shot from 11 metres out, but puts the ball wide to the right. That was a gift!

39'

Hofmann tests Prüfrock

The goalscorer tries from distance, but Prüfrock catches the ball.

37'

Penalty?

Hofmann heads the ball to Onyeka, who goes down under Elvedi but it's not deemed enough for a penalty. The referee waves play on!

35'

Prüfrock stays down

The Fürth goalkeeper grimaces in pain without any opponent involvement and requires treatment. But, the Franconian is able to continue playing.

31'

Good chance

Through a one-two between Miyoshi and Onyeka - the Japanese player powers through but shoots narrowly wide of the goal.

0:29

Crossbar!

Futkeu rises highest to get on the end of Will's cross, but his header cannons back off the crossbar!

26'

Bero with a long throw-in

The attempt is initially cleared, but the second ball falls to Miyoshi. Visibly surprised, the Bochum player tries to finish, but fails due to poor ball control.

18'

Wayward passes

Both sides are repeatedly making misplaced passes, having coordination problems or making wrong decisions. Neither side are able to find their rhythm.

13'

Bochum's plan?

Futkeu is under constant surveillance here. Bochum don't want to let the Franconian goalscorer get into the match. At the moment, Fürth's attack is non-existent.

8'

Almost a costly mistake

Prüfrock tries to clear the ball. However, the Franconian goalkeeper doesn't strike the ball properly but Bochum can't capitalise on the opportunity.

6'

And now?

How will both teams react to the early goal? For Bochum, it's certainly an ideal start. Fürth, on the other hand, need to make sure they don't concede another in quick succession.

0:17

Watch: The Vonovia Ruhrstadion erupts!

Bochum lead!

With 48 seconds not even on the clock, the hosts are ahead! Wittek's cross lands at the feet of Hofmann, who capitalises on Keller's slip by slotting the ball past Prüfrock, giving the visiting goalkeeper no chance.

Uwe Rösler on facing Fürth

"It's not the same team as in the first leg. It will be a very tough match. There are still four matches to go. The number of matches is decreasing but we have everything in our own hands - we're still in a promising position."

Heiko Vogel on facing Bochum

"The last weeks and months have shown what you can achieve in the league when you put in honest work. We have four matches in which we want to get the necessary points. It really is an incredibly tough league with an unbelievable level of competition. For the neutral spectator, that's fantastic. It couldn't be more exciting."
