20:19
Things get interesting again after a corner. Pacho’s header from nine meters is not an issue for Riemann.
87.
20:16
In return, Eintracht almost made it 1:2! Trapp throws the ball to Dina-Ebimbe, who feeds from the left into the penalty area. Aaronson narrowly missed his cross pass at the second post.
86.
20:15
Trap wide awake! Antwi-Adjei dribbles his way to the baseline on the left. He cunningly slams the ball onto the near corner from an almost impossible angle. Trapp pays attention and steers the thing to the corner. Gonçalo Paciência pushes her head into the arms of the goalkeeper.
84.
20:14
The next goal from the Ruhrpott club: Gonçalo Paciência welds the ball almost from the left corner of the box just over the far corner. Not a bad attempt.

Substitution at VfL Bochum: Kevin Stöger
82.
20:12
Daschner! In return, the ex-St. Pauli player nods a free-standing cross from the left from the half-left corridor of the penalty area. There was more to it.
81.
20:11
Lucky for Bochum! Skhiri appears on the left side of the goal line after a good combination. No teammate can intercept his pass into the middle. In the second attempt, the ball ends up at Riemann via a detour after a flat cross from Buta from the right.

Yellow card for Ivan Ordets (VfL Bochum)
79.
20:09
The last ten minutes get really hot. Both teams are keen on the three points. The Westphalians in particular are being pushed forward by their fans.
76.
20:06
Yellow card for Mario Götze (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Presumably because of complaining, Götze sees yellow.
76.
20:06
Now the hut is burning here. Passlack falls to the ground in the middle after Antwi-Adjei’s low pass, and rightly so there is no penalty. Seconds later, it was Antwi-Adjei himself who finished at the near post. Eintracht clears for a corner, which is also extremely dangerous. Trapp keeps VfL’s header strong.
74.
20:03
Tooor for VfL Bochum, 1:1 by Kevin Stöger
Stöger steps up and converts at the bottom left from the shooter’s perspective. Trapp speculated on a shot in the middle.
73.
20:03
Yellow card for Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Marmoush sees yellow for his action.
72.
20:01
Penalty for Bochum! Marmoush Ordets holds on to a corner for the home side. Although the hold cannot be denied, the decision is definitely tough because Ordets is also actively pushing himself into Marmoush’s body.
70.
19:59
Yellow card for Kevin Stöger (VfL Bochum)
Stöger comes too late in midfield. He sees the first yellow card of the match.
70.
19:59
For this purpose, Letsch exchanges again. With Daschner for Asano and Förster for Losilla it becomes even more offensive.

19:57
The people of Bochum are stepping up their game. A home bankruptcy today would destroy the recently acceptable results. This makes it all the more important to find balance as quickly as possible.
64.
19:53
Double substitution for the hosts. Antwi-Adjei and ex-Adler Gonçalo Paciência come for Wittek and Hofmann.

19:52
Marmoush circles a free kick from the right onto the second post. Somehow Skhiri and Koch get to the play equipment, but are unable to pose any problems for Riemann.
61.
19:50
Almost the own goal of the year! Dina-Ebumbe runs through a Götze pass on the half-left attack lane. Ordets gets his cross pass into his heels and the ball lands just next to the post from 20 meters. The following corner falls flat.
58.
19:47
The Blue and Whites are trying to get a quick answer. But Asano can be blocked at the last minute.
55.
19:46
Tooor for Eintracht Frankfurt, 0-1 by Éric Dina-Ebimbe
Dina-Ebimbe takes the lead! A through ball on the left flank reaches Marmoush, who moves into the box. Riemann deflects his shot from a tight angle into the middle. Then Dina-Ebimbe hammers the ball powerfully and flatly into the right corner from 18 meters. But the flag immediately goes up – wrongly! Marmoush was just barely offside, so the goal counts.
53.
19:43
Losilla is 20 meters centrally in front of the opponent’s goal, but misses the shot. Instead, he lays it off for Passlack, whose attempt rolls past to the left.
50.
19:40
In the minutes after the break, not much else happens. Only a Bochum cross from the left briefly caused danger, but the subsequent header landed clearly to the right of Trapp’s goal.
47.
19:36
Things continue with two personnel changes at the SGE. Ngankam and Nkounkou are replaced by Marmoush and Chaïbi.

Kick-off of the 2nd half
45.
19:20
Half-time conclusion:
Half time in Bochum, the score is still goalless between VfL and Eintracht Frankfurt. In the first 25 minutes we saw a really good game: The Westphalians had two great opportunities, but were denied by the crossbar and by Trapp. On the other hand, Riemann kept a cool head twice against the Frankfurt attackers. Afterwards, both teams shifted down a few gears. With the exception of one passing opportunity, Bochum and Eintracht offered lean food. Everything remains open – but it remains to be hoped that the two teams can build on the initial phase. See you soon!

19:18
End of 1st half
45.
19:17
Official added time (minutes): 1
42.
19:13
Something worth mentioning again. Losilla crosses from the left with his right foot to the second post. Passlack nods the pill as a putter over it.
39.
19:12
The fact remains: for over ten revolutions of the hand – unlike in the first 25 minutes – absolutely nothing has happened. Only the atmosphere in the arena is consistently impressive.
36.
19:08
The Letsch team tries tirelessly. It combines nicely again and again in the final third. However, she regularly runs out of ideas there.
33.
19:06
Both defensive lines are now very compact. For several minutes there hasn’t been much more than ball movement here.
30.
19:03
Half an hour has passed. It looks a little like the match is taking a little break for the first time.
27.
19:00
Interesting: It is the guests who are the counterattacking team here. It was actually expected that VfL would focus on fast counter-attacks.
24.
18:56
Now Trapp has to do it too! The national goalkeeper made two saves against Asano on the five-pointer. Actually it should be 1:1 or 2:2 here.
22.
18:54
Riemann is there! Once again, Eintracht uses the half-left attack lane. This time it is Larsson, whose shot from six meters he defuses with a courageous run.
20.
18:51
Skhiri sends a flat cross from VfL to the feet of Stöger. His left-footed shot from 24 meters in the middle goes well off to the right.
18.
18:50
The people from Bochum still make the visually superior impression. However, Frankfurt is currently managing to keep their offensive efforts in check.
15.
18:47
And the Westphalians are working on it. Mašović nods a corner from the left from eight meters straight into the arms of Trapp.
14.
18:46
So now both teams had their top-class players. We’re welcome to continue at this rate.
11.
18:43
Great opportunity for Eintracht! Dina-Ebimbe escapes from Stöger during a counterattack on the left. The winger ultimately fails from a tight angle due to Riemann, who reacts well.
10.
18:42
The atmosphere around the stadium does the rest. Above all, of course, the home fans make a lot of noise here.
7.
18:39
Fast-paced start on both sides. The West Germans in particular really got going in the first few minutes.
4.
18:35
Sturgeon! The midfield ace simply shoots the ball cheekily at the goal from a long distance as a lob. Trapp just wipes the thing onto the crossbar and out of bounds. The corner brings in nothing.
1.
18:32
It starts with kick-off for the hosts.

18:31
Game start
18:08
On the other hand, the Eagles will not be satisfied with the first three encounters either. They are still unbeaten after the success over SV Darmstadt 98 (1:0) and the two points shared against 1. FSV Mainz 05 and against 1. FC Köln (1:1 each). However, with five points from three games, they did not live up to their own expectations. After the departure of top striker Kolo Muani, it remains to be seen where the journey will take us.
17:58
The Bochum team didn’t start the season well. After three games there are two draws (1:1 against Borussia Dortmund, 2:2 at FC Augsburg) and a massive opening defeat (0:5 at VfB Stuttgart). After all: The result against BVB in particular should have given Westphalia a boost. Today we finally want to get our first win of the new season in front of our own audience.
17:41
On the other hand, we see a 3-4-2-1 system that coach Toppmöller is sending into the race. Pacho, Koch and Tuta defend in front of Trapp, Nkounkou and Buta are the rail players. Skhiri and Larsson form the headquarters, with Dina-Ebimbe, Götze and Ngankam providing accents up front. This means that Toppmöller has made a double change compared to the last league game against 1. FC Köln: Nkounkou and Ngankam are new for Max and Marmoush.
17:37
Let’s first look at the starting lineups. VfL coach Letsch is sending the same team into the race that drew against FC Augsburg (2-2) before the international break. This means: A three-man chain consisting of Mašović, Ordets and Bernardo is formed in front of keeper Riemann. Wittek and Passlack act on the wings, Losilla protects on the six. Stöger and Bero in midfield should set the scene for the strikers Hofmann and Asano.
17:31
Hello and welcome to the fourth matchday of the Bundesliga! In the top game, VfL Bochum welcomes Eintracht from Frankfurt. Kick-off is at 6:30 p.m.
