Bochum two to the good!
Bochum have been on top of this one, and they have now extended their advantage! Union were on the attack moments before, but a quick break finds Paciência. He doesn't quite catch it properly, but it nestles into the corner!

Half-time: Bochum 1-0 Union Berlin
Right on the stroke of half-time, the hosts move in front through Takumi Asano's volley. These two sides find themselves at the wrong end of the table, making it a proverbial six-pointer, and Bochum are in pole position at the moment. Plenty of time left for that to change though!

Bochum ahead!
The hosts have been the better of the two sides so far, and they now have the lead on the brink of half-time. Asano is the goalscorer, volleying home with aplomb following a corner - he connected well with that one!
