DESERVED DRAW
An enthralling game between two teams who have really impressed this season, and silenced plenty of critics. Chances at both ends, but a point each is probably a fair result.

FOUR MORE MINUTES
Still time for a winner...

SOARES OVER!
Chance after chance for the hosts! After the free-kick is partly cleared, the ball falls to Soares 25 yards from goal and his shot just clears the crossbar.
85'
HOSTS' HEAD OF STEAM AS HORN BOOKED
Bochum are finding ways around the back and really upping the pressure on Cologne, with Horn booked for a late foul.
84'
BIG CHANCE FOR ASANO!
That was almost it for the hosts! Asano goes oh so close to his second, from point-blank range, but it is saved instinctively!

POLTER JUST OVER!
Soares sends in a teasing low cross from the left which is met by Polter, but he clips his effort just over the crossbar!

RARE OCCURRENCE
This is only the second time all season – in their 10th home game – that Bochum have conceded more than one at the Ruhrstadion. The last time was on Matchday 4 in a 3-1 defeat to Hertha Berlin.

FIRST NAME IN THE BOOK
A little bit of a nudge from behind to make his presence felt, and Hector's presence is also now noted in the referee's notebook.

TIME TO REDRESS?
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

FIRST CHANGE
Locadia's had a very good game and warranted his inclusion in the starting XI, but it's time for some fresh legs and Polter is on.

SO CLOSE - TWICE!
Two big chances for Bochum to level matters, first with Holtmann's effort pushed away by the Cologne keeper, and then Löwen sending the ball over from close range! Good start to the second half by a determined Bochum.

TABLES TURNED
Bochum were deserving of their lead, but they have sat back since Holtmann put them in front and goals from Hübers – his first in the Bundesliga – and Modeste have turned the tables, with Cologne improving as the game progressed.
Half-time

MODESTE MAKES IT TWO!
Give him an inch, well Bochum gave him more than that and Modeste punishes them!
41'
THREE AGAINST ONE WASTED!
Cologne burst clear with a three against one situation, but Bochum's sole defender comes out on top to thwart the danger!
37'
COLOGNE LEVEL!
A corner comes in and Bochum cannot clear their lines and the ball falls kindly for Hübers, who hammers it in from close range!
HAPPY HOLTMANN

COOL AS A CUCUMBER!
Locadia threads the ball into the path of Holtmann, who keeps his cool to pick his spot and thread the ball inside the near post - Bochum lead!

MODESTE MISS!
Perhaps the best chance of the game so far falls at the feet of Modeste - arguably just who you would want a chance to fall to - but he scoops his shot over the crossbar!

Another good chance for Bochim with Holtmann using his pace to race forward and send in a low shot which Schwabe saves with his leg.

BOCHUM BETTER
Another chance for the hosts, with Löwen flashing a shot wide of the far post. The hosts are looking the stronger at the moment.

LOSILLA OFFSIDE
Third shot on goal from the hosts, but it would not have counted anyway with Losilla drifting into an offside position before receiving the ball.

DOUBLE CHANCE!
Pantovic and Rexhbecaj with the first two shots of the game, the former seeing his effort blocked and the latter missing the target against his former club.

BOCHUM PRESSING HIGH
No big openings yet, but the early exchanges have shown a Bochum sign keen to press high and force Cologne to find ways out from the back.
