Full-time: Bochum 0-1 Osnabrück

Osnabrück claim their first win of the season and take all three points away from Bochum. In the opening phase, the visitors were genuinely the better side, but Bochum gradually took control. They pressed for a long time, but were simply out of luck in the final third.

Off the crossbar!

Half-time: Bochum 0-1 Osnabrück

Both teams are playing with great spirit here, but it's the visitors from Osnabrück who head in at the break with a deserved lead courtesy of Badjie's early opener. Bochum remain committed, but have been unlucky in the final third so far.

Close again

In this closing stage of the first half, the visitors are once again the more dangerous side. Kammerbauer has a shooting opportunity on the right side of the penalty area from a tight angle, but pulls it slightly wide, sending the ball whistling past the right post.

0:23

Goal disallowed!

Beck breaks free down the right flank, leaves Wittek for dead and then coolly slots the ball into the left side of the net. However, he was a fraction offside when the pass was played, and so following a VAR review, the goal is chalked off.

Wittek from distance

After a cleared corner, the left back lets the rebound fly from over 30 yards, but his powerful effort is blocked.

35'

Woodwork!

Osnabrück almost have a second! Beck breaks through on the left side of the penalty area, gets past two defenders and then curls a magnificent shot towards the far corner. Horn can only watch as the ball bounces back out off the inside of the right post.

30'

End-to-end action

Possession has been changing hands frequently in recent minutes. The game has opened up a lot here.

25'

Bochum improving

The home side are now seeing more of the ball. The ball is moving quicker, but their finishing still lacks precision.

21'

Into the wall

From just outside the penalty area in the left half-position, Bochum have a great free-kick opportunity. Taz steps up to take it but he cannot get his effort over the Osnabrück wall.

0:17

Holtmann blocked

The pacey left winger breaks through on the flank, but Fabinski throws himself in front of the shot inside the six-yard box to deny the Bochum man.

17'

Over the bar

Meißner receives a flat pass from a short corner on the left side, but his shot from outside the box is too wayward.

Intense start

Pannewig goes down in a challenge against Beck.

13'

Big chance for the hosts!

Now the home side are in the game too! Hofmann lays it off to Miyoshi out on the right, who sets the ball up for himself on the edge of the penalty area and aims for the far corner, but his shot is deflected and goes narrowly wide to the right.

11'

No taker

Beck whips in a free-kick from the left flank sharply towards goal, but the Bochum defence manages to clear.

Dream start for the visitors

Even after taking the lead, it is almost exclusively Osnabrück who are playing here. In this opening phase, almost everything is coming off for them.

Badjie fires Osnabrück ahead!

The visitors have shot to an early lead here! Badjie is sent in behind on the left flank and has a lot of space. Just outside the penalty area he cuts inside and fires a beautiful curling shot into the far corner! At full-stretch, Horn cannot prevent the ball from hitting the back of the net. What a hit!

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.

Perfect conditions

It's a sunny evening at Bochum's Ruhrstadion.

More on that Osnabrück side

Schultz makes two changes to the side he fielded from the outset in the last league outing against Magdeburg. Münst (pictured) starts on the left flank, and Beck is also given the nod on the right wing.

More on that Bochum side

Uwe Rösler largely trusts the same XI that were able to win at Braunschweig last time out. There's just the one change for the Ruhr club, with Meyer (pictured) replacing Çokaj in the heart of midfield.

Timo Schultz on facing Bochum

"It's going to be intense. That's what the Ruhrstadion is known for. We'll put visors down and go for it. I'm looking forward to the match. It's a brilliant atmosphere, similar to what we have here. When the floodlights come on – it simply doesn't get any better than that."

Uwe Rösler on facing Osnabrück

"Our style of play must be built on intensity. That is what the people want to see from us. Bochum is a working-class city. The people graft in this city and we graft on the pitch. Of course, we also want to combine both aspects in our attacking play, but a balance is needed for that."

Due a victory?

Osnabrück have faced no other club in Bundesliga 2 as often as Bochum without ever recording a victory.

Unbeaten Bochum

Bochum have never lost against Osnabrück, winning four and drawing two of the teams' six second-division encounters. The Ruhr club have conceded only four goals in those six matches - and never more than one in a game.

2:14

Watch: Braunschweig 0-1 Bochum - last time out

Philipp Hofmann grabbed the winner as Bochum took their first league win of the season. The Ruhr district side followed that up with a 2-1 victory at fellow Bundesliga 2 outfit Greuther Fürth in the DFB Cup.

2:13

Watch: Osnabrück 0-3 Magdeburg - last time out

Osnabrück were comfortably beaten in their first home match since their return to Bundesliga 2, but had a rest last weekend as their DFB Cup first round-tie against Bayern Munich is scheduled for Wednesday 2 September.

Osnabrück 1-2 Bochum - previous meeting

Bochum claimed a narrow victory on their last visit to Osnabrück in 2021. The home side ended up being relegated to the 3. Liga, while Bochum were promoted to the Bundesliga as champions.
