Spoils shared
Frankfurt huffed and puffed but simply could not find another goal despite taking 18 shots to Bochum's eight. It'll be viewed as two points dropped by the Eagles, but as a valuable one gained by Bochum. That difference in perspective is also highlighted by the fact it's now five Bundesliga games without a win for Frankfurt (D3 L2) and three games without defeat for Bochum (W2 D1).

Change of approach?
Götze's subtle scheming has caused Bochum problems but coach Glasner now appears to be going for the battering ram approach with the physicality of Alario up top next to Kolo Muani and Borre.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Promising position for Bochum
Borre tugs Stöger down as Bochum break forward on a rare attack. It gives the visitors a free-kick just outside the box, over to the right.

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).

Goalkeeper Efficiency of Manuel Riemann
Goalkeeper Efficiency
Goalkeeper Efficiency compares the number of saves a goalkeeper makes with his expected saves (xSaves). xSaves is calculated with the help of artificial intelligence. When a goalkeeper has a positive efficiency value, it means he has saved more shots than statistically expected.

Penalty box pinball
The hosts, who have pegged Bochum inside their own half so far in this second period, bring a dangerous ball into the box. The visitors struggle to clear it initially - Kolo Muani swings and misses with an attempted overhead kick - before eventually they can hoof it clear.
47'
Chance for Kolo Muani!
Frankfurt take a quick throw-in, hoping to catch Riemann out after he dashed off his line to clear. Götze crosses into the middle but Kolo Muani can't get enough power behind his header and Riemann makes the save.

Frankfurt on top
The Eagles have had 59 percent of possession and had nine shots to Bochum's five. They're also looking far more dangerous in the final third but can't translate that dominance into something more tangible on the scoreboard.

Chance for Frankfurt
Kolo Muani again has joy down the left, scampering into space in the box. Instead of shooting though, he flicks a pass inside to his strike partner Borre, but the ball has too much pace on it and the Colombian can't control it, allowing Bochum to clear.

Unlucky 13 on a Friday

What a great start for the visitors! A long throw-in from Antwi-Adjei leads to Losilla cracking a shot in that Kevin Trapp can only parry into the path of Asano - who tucks his second goal of the season in!

Riemann better than expected
Another of the new Bundesliga Match Facts, Keeper Efficiency, indicates that Bochum goalkeeper Manuel Riemann is excelling this term. The 34-year-old has made three saves more than expected, per his xSaves quota. By way of comparison, his Frankfurt counterpart Kevin Trapp has 'only' made 59 saves, with an xSaves figure of 59.7.

Relentless Bochum
The new Bundesliga Match Fact, Ball Recovery Time, highlights that Bochum are almost a full second quicker than Frankfurt on average this season when it comes to regaining possession after losing it. In fact, Bochum are the third-quickest Bundesliga team in this category!

Bochum's fight for survival sees Thomas Letsch's side as one of only two teams in the division to have won their last two top-flight games (the other being Bayer Leverkusen). Those victories have helped to propel the Westphalians out of the drop zone and into 14th place.
