FRANKFURT FINALLY WIN AT HOME!
Almost three months since their last home win, Frankfurt snap a run of four straight losses with a come-from-behind win over Bochum!
Full-time

ADDED ADDED TIME
A clash of heads and two minutes of treatment mean there will be even more defending for Frankfurt to do.

HANDBAGS
That frustration has spilled over with a couple of yellow cards shown by the referee as tempers flare.

SECOND CHANCE FOR HRUSTIC
Hrustic takes a quick free-kick and tries to curl in a shot, but it is easy for Riemann. But the referee says he was not ready for play to restart, so Frankfurt get another chance, much to Bochum's frustration.
90'
ALMOST AN EQUALISER!
As the home fans start to think they are set to celebrate a win, Polter has an effort from the edge of the area which Trapp can only parry, with Antwi-Adjei denied on the rebound! Two good chances for the guests, as we go into four extra minutes.

BORRE BEATEN TO BALL BY BOCKHORN
Another sweeping counterattack from Frankfurt with Hauge trying to thread it through for Borre, but Bockhorn slides in and puts him off well.
83'
STAFYLIDIS GIVING BELIEF
It may not be over yet, with Stafylidis winning another tackle and launching an attack. He has won 14 of his 17 challenges today, and is urging his team forward.

TOO MUCH FROM TUTA
Kostic whips in a free-kick which was probably curling into the far corner, but it is met by Tuta who gets too much on his header when just a flick (or even nothing!) might have done.
65'
BETTER FROM BOCHUM
Those changes have stirred Bochum back into action and Polter has a shot blocked, and he goes close again with a header from the consequent corner.

TRIPLE CHANGE
Thomas Reis is certainly not happy with how his side have come out for this second half, so he makes three changes.

LINDSTROM BACK ON
He's trying to run it off and looks a lot better than just a few moments ago. Magic sponge and all that.
57'
LINDSTROM STRUGGLING
The Danish midfielder is receiving treatment and after supplying two assists, it looks like his shift is over today with an ankle injury - that doesn't look good.
55'
FOUR OF A KIND
A club record Bochum will not be too find of: they have scored four own goals this season, which is more than in any other season.

TURNAROUND COMPLETE!
Kamada puts the Eagles in front, getting the last touch to a flowing move with Kostic's cross taken to the goal-line by Knauff and pulled back for Lindstronm, who finds the Japanese attacking midfielder to score from close range.
47'
AND THERE IT IS!
A second own-goal in two weeks from a Bochum player, with Masovic diverting Lindstrom's shot into his own goal, and we are all square!
46'
FRANKFURT FLY OUT OF THE BLOCKS
As far as signals of intent are concerned. this is a clear one from Frankfurt, who are straight onto the front foot in this second half.

NO MORE CORNERS
The ball gets deflected behind for what would be another corner, but the referee finally brings the first half to an end. Bochum have looked strong on the break, but Frankfurt had plenty of chances to level. Bochum lead, and Frankfurt's home misery continues for another 45 minutes at least.

ANOTHER CHANCE
Kostic sends the ball in and Hinteregger's header is dipping in, but it is tipped over. Corner, one last chance!

WORSE TO COME?
A yellow card for handball, but that gives away a free-kick in another dangerous position, for the last kick of the first half...
41'
PENALTY APPEAL!
Kostic cuts into the area and goes down under the challenge, but the referee gives a goal kick. VAR checks it and confirms the on-field decision.

BELLA-KOTCHAP CLOSE TO OWN-GOAL REPEAT!
He scored an own goal last weekend and Bella-Kotchap nearly does the same again for a second week running, turning the ball just inches wide of the left-hand post.

11 LEADS, 11 RESULTS
Furthermore, Bochum have won nine and drawn two of the 11 games this season in which they have taken the lead, not losing any.

CRAFTY KAMADA
Kamada dribbles his way through, but he just runs out of pitch before he can cut the ball back.
31'
INTO THE WALL THEN OVER!
It is Kostic who takes it, but he sends the ball into the wall. The ball comes back to him and he lashes it over the crossbar!
30'
KOSTIC LICKING HIS LIPS
A foul right on the edge of the area, and Frankfurt have a good chance to score here, with Kostic drooling.
27'
HOME DISCOMFORT
Frankfurt have lost their last four games at home in the Bundesliga and have never lost five in a row on home soil. Are they going to set a new club record today?
26'
SUSPENSION FOR SOW
A yellow card with a consequence for Sow there, as he gets his fifth booking of the season for a foul on Polter.
24'
ASANO TRAPPED!
Almost a second for Bochum with Holtmann - a late inclusion in the starting XI after Blum picked up an injury int he warm-up - sending the ball in, but Asano's effort is saved instinctively by Trapp at close quarters!

HOLTMANN SURGES CLEAR
Scintillating pace from Holtmann as he beats two Frankfurt players, despite having the ball, but he doesn't quite pull away and his last touch slows him down and allows the defenders to recover.

TUTA HEADS OVER
Kostic, such a threat down the left win, swings in a corner from the right which Tuta gets his head to, but he misses the target.

ALMOST IN!
Half of the stadium thought that was in as the ball hit the stanchion behind the goal, but Daichi Kamada's effort did indeed miss the right-hand post. Frankfurt's quick reply to Polter's early effort.
1'
POLTER EFFORT BLOCKED
The first half-sight of goal is for Polter, who tries his luck from long range, but his volley is blocked and loops up for Trapp to collect easily.
Kick-off!
BOCHUM KICK-OFF
Bochum get the ball rolling here at the Deutsche Bank Park.
MOMENT OF SILENCE
Before kick-off, the stadium falls silent in recognition of former Frankfurt player Jürgen Grabowski, who passed away on Thursday.
TEAMS ARE OUT
Both teams are filing out onto the field, the kick-off is just seconds away!
0:12
BOCKHORN ALSO BACK
You have to go even further back for Herbert Bockhorn's last start (2 October 2021, 3-0 loss in Leipzig), while Masovic also makes his first start of 2022.
BLUM BACK
Danny Blum makes his first start in over four months. He opened the scoring in the third minute of the reverse fixture, which Bochum won 2-0, but last started a game on 6 November 2021 in another 2-0 win, against Hoffenheim.
NEVER CHANGE A WINNING TEAM
Oliver Glasner is sticking to that mantra, naming the same starting XI that have beaten Hertha 4-1 and Real Betis 2-1 over the past week.
SIX CHANGES
There are six changes to the Bochum starting XI compared with the side which beat Fürth 2-1 last time out – that is the most changes from one game to the next that Thomas Reis has made all season.
