HUGE RESULT FOR BOCHUM
Contrasting reactions from the players as Bochum celebrate the draw like it's a win, while there is frustration on the faces of the Dortmund contingent. The away side dominated throughout and ended up having 23 efforts on goal, compared to Bochum's four, but they just lacked the cutting edge today. Bayern Munich's come-from-behind win at home to Mainz means BVB slip six points behind the leaders now, while Bochum remain in the safety of 10th place, six points above the relegation zone.

HOPE FOR DORTMUND
BVB have scored at least once in 45 of their last 46 Bundesliga matches, only failing to do so on Matchday 6 against Gladbach this season. They have just over 10 minutes left to find an equaliser...
73'
BOCHUM ALMOST BREAK FREE
Almost every Dortmund player is in or around the Bochum box, but they lose the ball and all of a sudden Antwi-Adjei is sprinting up the pitch with the ball. He sees the unmarked Bockhorn to his right, and tries to play him in for a clear run on goal, but Brandt makes a vital block to nip the danger in the bud.

HISTORY ON BOCHUM'S SIDE
Bochum have taken the lead six times in matches so far this season prior to this game. They've gone on to win every time.
66'
MASOVIC TO THE RESCUE
Meunier swings a cross in from the right, aiming for Bellingham in the middle. It's a teasing delivery and only needs a touch to go in, but Masovic gets there first and clears for a corner.
63'
REUS SHOT CLEARED OFF THE LINE!
Bochum struggled to clear a corner and the ball comes to Reus at the back post. He controls it on his chest and lashes a left-footed shot at goal, but it's cleared off the line!
54'
BVB GOAL DISALLOWED!
Dortmund think they've equalised as Reus lays the ball off for Wolf to stroke a low shot into the bottom corner from 10 yards out, but it's ruled out after a VAR check as Bellingham was in an offside position.

OVER FROM HAALAND
The Norwegian makes a superb diagonal run and receives the ball on the edge of the box, but blazes his first-time shot over the bar on his weaker right foot.

REUS SURELY... BUT NO!
BVB are throwing everything forward and Reus goes close this time, before a defender just gets to the rebound ahead of the lurking Haaland.

POLTER OPENS THE SCORING
The Bochum forward sends Kobel the wrong way from the spot, coolly slotting in his sixth goal of the season, and fourth in his last three games!

PENALTY TO BOCHUM!
Kobel dashes off his line to tackle Antwi-Adjei and the hosts have a spot-kick!

HOLTMANN THREATENS
Bochum counter following a Dortmund attack and Holtmann makes light work of getting past Zagadou on the right. He gets to the byline and dinks in a cross into the middle, but Dortmund are able to clear.

28'
HAALAND DENIED!
Lovely footwork and pass from Bellingham to play in Haaland. It's the kind of chance you've seen him bury time and time again, on his left foot near the penalty spot, but Riemann anticipates it and males another fine save.
26'
PROMISING FROM SCHULZ
A brilliant run from the Dortmund left-back, who tears away down the flank before cutting a low ball back towards the edge of the area. Haaland claims it and manages to shoot, but it's blocked on its way to goal.

BOCHUM'S FIRST SHOT
Antwi-Adjei does very well to hold off a couple of defenders on the edge of the Dortmund box, before creating some space for himself to shoot. It's off target and lacking power, but still an encouraging moment for the hosts.
19'
NEXT CHANCE FOR DORTMUND
Reus has a glimpse of goal and snatches a shot at goal, but Riemann is well placed to save again.
18'
HUGE SAVE FROM RIEMANN!
Bochum are in disarray at the back again and Haaland has the awareness to play in Bellingham, who's completely unmarked near the penalty spot. The England international gets a shot away immediately, but Riemann makes a superb block to keep it out.
17'
LET-OFF FOR RIEMANN!
The Bochum goalkeeper breathes a sigh of relief after almost gifting Dortmund the opening goal. Trying to play it out from the back, he jinked past the onrushing Haaland but his touch was too heavy, allowing Bellingham to tackle him. The ball fell to Haaland, who touched it to Reus, but the BVB captain played a wayward pass looking for a teammate - rather than taking a shot himself - and the chance went begging.

GOOD OMEN FOR DORTMUND?
BVB coach Marco Rose isn't on the touchline today as he serves a suspension, so his assistant Alexander Zickler is overseeing things today. The 47-year-old never lost to Bochum during his playing days, winning six and drawing four.
11'
SCRAPPY PHASE
Bochum are refusing to be overrun, especially on their own patch, and are trying to battle their way back into the game. The result is a packed midfield and plenty of tackles flying in, but little action in the final thirds.

It's still early days but that'll be a boost for Bochum defender Masovic, who made a brilliant recovery tackle to hoof the ball clear after Haaland had controlled a ball over the defence.
