Full-time: Bochum 3-2 Hertha

Full-time in Bochum, and the hosts end their losing streak with a win. After taking a 3-0 lead, it looked like it was going to be plain sailing, but goals from Schuler and Reese filled the stadium with nerves at the death. Luckily for the hosts, they were able to hold out for a big three points.

Double chance for VfL!

First, Ernst prevents Passlack from adding a fourth, and then Bero shoots wide of the left post unmarked. That should have been 4-2! In the end, it doesn't matter because the final whistle blows right after!

Promising free-kick position

Another Berlin player goes down on the edge of the penalty area. This time, it's Krattenmacher, who is fouled by Wittek, and this is in a good position.

Leistner throws himself in the way

Bochum counter-attack through the substitute Alfa-Ruprecht, who gets a shot off at the edge of the penalty area. Leistner blocks it at the expense of a corner.

Hertha are back in the match! A lovely diagonal ball from Demme finds Reese, who crosses into the penalty area where Schuler is waiting to poke the cross home. Nearly 20 minutes still to play!

Collision

Thorsteinsson looks for Grönning with a low cross. Horn gets to the ball before the striker, but takes a hard hit in the process, leading to some disagreement between both sets of players. The referee has a word before restarting play.

Morgalla takes too much time for a throw-in and gets booked.

Ice-cold VfL!

From two shots on target, Bochum have scored three times! The visitors are simply making too many mistakes today to earn any points.

The decisive moment? 3-0 Bochum!

Another Hertha mistake and it is 3-0! Leistner tries to shield the ball out for a goal kick, but Hofmann puts pressure on the defender, gets to the ball before it crosses the line and squares it to the completely unmarked Onyeka, who slots the ball into the empty net from just a few metres out. VfL aren't creating much going forward, but they're clinically punishing the visitors' errors.

VfL with a chance

Suddenly, Holtmann is completely unmarked on the left side of the visitors' penalty area, but he hurries his effort and misses the target.

Painful

Morgalla initially stays down on the pitch after a collision with Eichhorn, but after a brief treatment break, he continues playing.

Dardai!

The centre-back unleashes a shot that flies towards the top corner of the Bochum goal. Horn has to stretch and parries it away for a corner.

Can Hertha still turn it around?

For the fourth time this season, Hertha are behind after 45 minutes. So far, they are yet to turn around a deficit at the break.

Half-time: Bochum 2-0 Hertha

The hosts lead 2-0 at the break as they try to end this dismal losing run of six games. An own goal from Karbownik opened the scoring, before Onyeka produced a delightful solo goal to make it 2-0. Hertha have had chances of their own, but all of their shots have been too easy for Horn so far.

Hertha pushing for a goal back

Horn has had plenty to do in this half, but nothing that has been too testing. This time, he is able to deny Winkler twice to keep the score at 2-0.

Stoppage time

Two minutes of additional time.

Grönning scores, but he's offside

Hertha have the ball in the net, but it won't count. Grönning runs from the halfway line towards Horn and stays cool in front of the Bochum goalkeeper to chip his shot home. However, he was clearly offside beforehand, so the goal doesn't count.
44'

That was close!

Bochum fail to clear the ball after a corner, allowing Karbownik the chance to shoot from the edge of the area, but his effort hits the side netting.
39'

Next Bochum counter-attack

Hertha are also struggling defensively. Next VfL counter-attack - next shot. Wittek runs down the left wing and finds Hofmann in the centre. The striker shields the ball and then lays it back to Onyeka. His shot from the edge of the penalty area goes over the bar. Nevertheless, the Berliners are making it too easy for VfL.
37'

Hertha making too little of their opportunities

And again the Berliners have space - and again they don't use it. Thorsteinsson has room on the right wing, but for some reason, he slows down, allowing Morgalla to close the gap. In the end, it results in a harmless cross that Horn safely intercepts.
35'

That could have been more

Now Reese sets off on a journey down the left wing, but his low cross doesn't reach Grönning in the centre.

Onyeka makes it two!

Bochum counter and add a second! Reese loses the ball in the opposition half, and suddenly the hosts have a numerical advantage. The ball reaches Onyeka via Holtmann and Hofmann, who runs into the penalty area, dances past Leistner and remains ice-cold in front of Ernst to slot home for 2-0.

Bero fouls Grönning just centimetres in front of the penalty area. Perfect position for the Berliners from a central position.

Bero and VfL are putting in a lot of effort off the ball. That commitment has been reflected on the scoreboard so far.

Passionate Bochum

Floodlight matches and VfL - often a good combination. In the opening phase, the hosts are winning almost two-thirds of their duels and have taken the sting out of Hertha so far.

Horn prevents the equaliser!

Almost an immediate response from Berlin, but Bochum's goalkeeper has something to say about it. Winkler drives the ball down the right wing, then lays it inside to Reese at the edge of the box. He immediately goes for the finish, but is denied by Horn's fingertips.

VfL lead!

And the goal is scored by a Hertha player. Hofmann controls a long ball in front of the penalty area and lays it off to the left for Holtmann. Karbownik attempts to clear his low cross, but gets it all wrong. His clearance hits the underside of the crossbar and ends up in his own net.

Strompf finds Wittek with a long ball to the left wing. He lays it off for the incoming Pannewig, but his finish from a half-left position goes wide of the far post.

Bero brings down Karbownik in midfield. That was close to a tactical foul, but the referee still keeps it at a verbal warning.

Kick-off!

Goal machine Hofmann

The Bochum striker has scored 73 goals in Bundesliga 2 - as many as all the players in Hertha's starting eleven today combined.

More on that Hertha side

Stefan Leitl cannot field an identical team from the last match in which his side claimed victory, as Cuisance and Zeefuik are both out. It's Karbownik and Seguin who play instead of them. Demme and Kolbe - two players previously suffering long-term injuries - are sitting on the bench.

More on that Bochum side

New VfL coach, Uwe Rösler, brings in Strompf, Onyeka, Wätjen and Pannewig for Lenz (suspended), Koscierski, Loosli and Clairicia (all on the bench).

Stefan Leitl on facing Bochum

"It will be a very difficult away match. Bochum have new energy after a change of coach. I'm expecting a lot of tackles and emotion from them. We have to stand our ground against that. It will be important to stay true to ourselves in order to get points - preferably all three!"
camera-photo

Uwe Rösler on facing Hertha

"In recent years, I've often played with a back three or back five, generally I'm a fan of it. But you also need the right players for that. At the moment, I'm still considering how we'll set up against Hertha."
camera-photo

New man in charge

Uwe Rösler is set to take charge of his first match since being appointed Bochum boss. He has only faced Hertha once before as a coach - a 3-3 draw with Fortuna Düsseldorf in February 2020.

Five on the bounce?

Hertha have won the last four second division encounters against Bochum, all by a 2-0 scoreline.

Cause for optimism?

Whenever Bochum and Hertha have played together in Bundesliga 2, one of the two teams has gone on to be promoted at the end of the season (Bochum in 1993/94 and 1995/96, Hertha in 2010/11 and 2012/13).
