The hosts have a series of corners as they desperately try to get level but they still can't quite craft a decent chance. Not long left for Bochum to salvage something from this.

Krauß is sent to the deck and then removed from the action before Bochum take the subsequent free-kick. De Wit is on in his place.

Miyoshi and Broschinski replace Passlack and Masouras, respectively, with Bochum now chasing an equaliser.

... but he doesn't have the pace to get clear of the Hoffenheim defence. He's eventually held up and adjudge offside anyway, but good signs for Bochum that they can turn their opponents around.

The Bochum skipper is such a good focal point and they try to find him at every opportunity. He heads just wide when meeting a cross from the right and, moments later, feeds the ball superbly out to the left before swinging at fresh air when the ball is returned. Nearly an opener.

Stach lets fly from the edge of the box but Horn deals with it well, getting across to palm the ball away from danger. That was our first shot on goal, which says a fair amount about how this game has gone so far.

Sissoko nods Bero's corner down to Medić on the penalty spot but his swivelling volley is well blocked. Bochum look threatening from every set-piece.

Sissoko has been excellent so far and is the link between defence, midfield and attack. He wins the ball on the edge of the box before, moments later, freeing a teammate on the left for a counter. Nothing comes of it but Sissoko is at the heart of everything so far.

Bochum work a deep free-kick well, with the ball eventually finding Medić at the back stick but he can only head onto the post. Nearly 1-0 there.

The hosts twice go long and find success, getting up the pitch quickly and getting bodies running off Hofmann. A positive start for Bochum.
