What a turnaround!
Two goals in as many minutes, and wherever you are in the world, what you just felt was not an earthquake - it was the Cologne fans celebrating as Waldschmidt headed in Schmitz's cross and Cologne lead!

The stadium erupts!
Another first goal of the season, and arguably an even better timed one - Tigges nods in from a corner, and Cologne are on level terms!

First assist
After providing his very first Bundesliga assist, Broschinksi leaves the field. It could prove to be a very important assist too, with this result currently taking Bochum out of the automatic relegation berths.

The guests lead!
What a time to score your first goal of the season, and the first since May 2022! The ball comes across the face of goal and lands at the feet of Passlack, whose shot takes a wicked deflection to go in! He won't really care how it went in, but that it went in!

Ball Recovery Time
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).

Game of vital importance
As we enter the season's sprint finish, both of these sides are desperate to save their Bundesliga status. Bochum - in 15th - have the advantage of a six-point gap over Mainz in the relegation play-off spot.
