Reus had already become dangerous with a free kick in the fifth minute, but Wolfsburg goalkeeper Koen Casteels demonstrated his skills. After the restart, BVB increased the pressure and created chances that Niclas Füllkrug (54′) and Julian Brandt (55′) were unable to take advantage of. However, that was to change in the 69th minute: Reus scored the redeeming goal after a cross from Brandt.

At the end of the first half, Leipzig’s greatest opportunity to score was missed by loan player Xavi Simons, whose shot from the edge of the penalty area was missed by Borussia goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas.

Nevertheless, the Augsburg team managed a second goal.

VfL Bochum vs. 1. FSV Mainz 05: Bundesliga Match ends in a 2-2 Draw

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 28, 2023

VfL Bochum – 1. FSV Mainz 05 2:2 (1:0)

In the first game of the 9th Bundesliga matchday against Mainz, VfL Bochum narrowly missed out on clearing themselves away from the bottom of the table. 1. FSV Mainz 05 equalized in stoppage time to make the final score 2-2. In front of 26,000 spectators in the Ruhrstadion, Kevin Stöger (21st minute/foul penalty) and Keven Schlotterbeck (82nd) scored for VfL, but an own goal from Schlotterbeck (59th) and the goal from Tom Krauß at least secured a point for the FSV.

The draw hardly helps either team. Mainz remains bottom of the table. Bochum only climbed to 16th place, the relegation spot. With a win the club would have moved up to 13th place. “Very annoying, it hurts extremely when you get the equalizer shortly before the end because I think we deserved to win,” said Stöger on the DAZN streaming service. Schlotterbeck said it was “difficult to put into words.”

The pressure that had increased over the past few weeks with many unfortunate defeats was felt by both teams. The starting lineups, which were changed by both coaches in two positions each, started the game with a lot of passion. VfL in particular put pressure on us. However, after the penalty was converted, the game slowed down. Only the second half started more lively again, the guests from Mainz found their way into the game better. Their strange equalizer matched the modest level of the game. Substitute Aymane Barkok sent a shot from Anthony Caci to the leg of VfL defender Schlotterbeck – from where the ball rolled into the goal. Shortly before the end, the 26-year-old made up for his own goal and took the celebrated lead. Then Krauss scored 2-2 for Mainz.

Tom Krauß rescues a point for FSV Mainz 05 against VfL Bochum in Bundesliga match

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 28, 2023

Tom Krauß saved a point from FSV Mainz 05, which was in deep sporting crisis, at VfL Bochum. The 22-year-old scored on Friday evening in the sixth minute of stoppage time to make the final score 2-2 (0-1). For both teams, the long wait for their first success of the season in the Bundesliga continues.

In front of 26,000 spectators in the Ruhrstadion, Kevin Stöger (21st/foul penalty) and Keven Schlotterbeck (82nd) scored for VfL, but an own goal from Schlotterbeck (59th) and the goal from Krauß at least secured a point for the FSV. The draw hardly helps either team. Mainz remains bottom of the table. Bochum at least climbed to 16th place – but initially only for one night. “Very annoying, it hurts extremely when you get the equalizer shortly before the end because I think we deserved to win,” said Stöger on the DAZN streaming service. Schlotterbeck said it was “difficult to put into words”.

The pressure that had increased over the past few weeks with many unfortunate defeats could be felt on both sides. The starting lineups, which were changed to two positions each by both coaches, started the game with a lot of passion. VfL in particular pushed up the pace and was already close to taking the lead when defender Bernardo’s shot was parried by FSV goalkeeper Robin Zentner (2nd). The more active style of play demanded by Bochum coach Thomas Letsch and implemented by his professionals forced the guests mostly on the defensive in the minutes that followed.

And then came Krauss…

Despite Bernardo’s missed opportunity, the host’s great commitment paid off early on. After Danny da Costa fouled Schlotterbeck, referee Patrick Ittrich justifiably decided on a penalty with the help of video evidence. Stöger didn’t miss this opportunity and scored with a low shot to take the lead they had deserved up to that point.

The early substitutions of Jae Sung Lee and Tom Krauss (both 34) hardly brought any improvement to the previously weak Mainz team. Although the pressure on the FSV goal decreased noticeably, their own offensive actions remained harmless. The Bochum goalkeeper Manuel Riemann was largely unemployed until the break. And because the bad passes in Bochum’s build-up game increased, the entertainment value of the game increasingly decreased despite all the effort.

Published/Updated: Published/Updated: Published/Updated:

Only the second half began more lively again when VfL attacker Moritz Broschinski scored to make it 2-0 (46th). But the goal was canceled due to an offside position. However, this action was not a signal for further attacks by the Bochum team. Instead, the guests found their way into the game better.

Their strange equalizer matched the modest level of the game. Substitute Aymane Barkok sent a shot from Anthony Caci to the leg of VfL defender Schlotterbeck – from where the ball spun into the goal. Shortly before the end, the 26-year-old made up for his own goal and took the celebrated lead. Then came Krauss.

VfL Bochum: A Crisis Club in the Bundesliga’s Shooting Gallery

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 24, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

19 goals conceded make VfL Bochum a crisis club and the league’s shooting gallery. Now of all times we’re going to Leipzig – things have never looked good there.

As expectations rise, the height of the fall also changes. In that regard, VfL Bochum has just hit hard. Having competed at the start of the season to reach the next level in terms of sport, the club currently finds itself in a relegation zone. Six games, only three points, but a whopping 19 goals conceded – that was the sobering result at the beginning of October. The league’s shooting gallery is currently in Bochum.

In late summer, those responsible were still full of anticipation and self-confidence. “Come to stay” – this was the motto under which the team wanted to tackle the season boldly, both sportily and economically. “We have overcome the biggest hurdle by reaching the third year of the Bundesliga. VfL now has a historic opportunity,” Ilja Kaenzig, management spokesman, announced a controlled offensive in an interview with t-online.

Bochum put more money into the professional squad, invested in transfer fees again after a long time and gave Thomas Letsch a completely revamped team. The coach’s task was formulated as clear as it was optimistic: to further develop the football philosophy and reach the next level through play. “The toolbox is basically enlarged. I can’t always just use the simplest means in the Bundesliga. If you’re still just playing diamonds in the fifth Bundesliga year, you don’t have to be surprised if you don’t find any solutions,” said Ilja Kaenzig, formulating the claim of the club.

Regression instead of further development – what is going on at VfL?

But instead of further development, VfL experienced a significant regression just a few weeks later. In the 0:7 debacle in Munich, but especially in the 1:3 home defeat against Gladbach – for Letsch simply “a catastrophe” – the team delivered a bad result and a bad game. Even among those responsible there is a certain perplexity about what is currently happening in Bochum. After all, there had already been respectable games against BVB and Frankfurt. “The discrepancy in performance in such a short time is astonishing,” admits sports director Patrick Fabian.

In any case, it shouldn’t be due to the attitude of the professionals or their willingness. “The intensity in training was there, which is why the performance against Gladbach was all the more surprising,” says Fabian. The coach underlines this impression: “There was no lack of intensity and willingness in the training weeks or in the game. We run a lot and bring a lot of intensity to the pitch.”

But what’s the point then? Isn’t switching to a three-man defense and moving away from the previously successful 4-3-3 order the right approach? A topic that annoys Letsch and at which he shakes his head vehemently: “It has nothing to do with the system at all,” he made it clear after the 5-0 opening defeat in Stuttgart.

Letsch finds clear words

Tactically, however, the question arises as to whether the opponent’s generally high pressing and early starts are good for the team. Gladbach had 27 shots on goal on a foreign pitch. Is VfL taking too much risk? For the coach it’s a question of implementation: “Against Gladbach we didn’t win the decisive duels. Then the second player was missing to provide support. We didn’t keep the field compact and had to run after it. If we won the balls, we got them were given away too quickly and were not sorted.”

With a view to the game at RB Leipzig this Saturday, Thomas Letsch announced that he would “adapt” the style of play and make some personnel changes. The South German clearly formulated the requirements profile in his own way: “We have to find the players who don’t give a shit.” Courage, conviction and a certain amount of defiance are required – and a look at the statistics shows why. In five guest appearances in Leipzig so far, Bochum have suffered five defeats, scoring exactly one goal but conceding 16 goals. On average, just as many as currently in the Bundesliga.

Controversial Referee Decision Sparks Heated Debate Between Dietmar Hamann and DFB Official

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 22, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Berlin (dpa) – Angry about a referee’s decision at the Bundesliga game in Freiburg, TV expert Dietmar Hamann got into a war of words with DFB official Alex Feuerherdt. “If we don’t give a red card for something like that, then we can stop,” Hamann complained in the Sky studio on Saturday about a foul by Freiburg’s Vincenzo Grifo on Cristian Gamboa from VfL Bochum. When Feuerherdt, spokesman for DFB Schiri GmbH, defended Grifo’s yellow card, Hamann countered: “Alex, you turn it the way you need it.”

Referee Tobias Reichel decided when the Freiburg player was hit hard that Gamboa had not been hit in the ankle, but only on the side of the foot. “The hit pattern is actually a criterion that is important for the referees,” explained Feuerherdt. Hamann objected vehemently: “Don’t tell me about the hit pattern. That’s a red card.”

When Feuerherdt argued that Grifo had hit the edge of Gamboa’s shoe, Hamann continued to talk himself into a rage and said: “The shoe doesn’t go all the way to the shin.”

Shortly afterwards, the ex-national player even started general criticism. “At the end of the season the DFB statistics come back and they say: Once the video evidence made the wrong decision. There have already been ten situations this year where you made the wrong decision,” said Hamann.

Feuerherdt strongly contradicted this. He was surprised because he hadn’t been shown ten errors during previous TV broadcasts. “To be honest, I can’t understand the severity. This is not a decision that is 100-nil for Red,” said the DFB official.

Bochum’s coach Thomas Letsch had previously criticized the referee’s leniency. “I wonder if he has to break his foot before he gets red? Someone has to explain that to me,” said Letsch.
