Full-time: Bremen 4-1 Bochum
Heartbreak for Bochum, not only for this heavy defeat, but Union Berlin's win over Freiburg means they slip into 16th place and will face Fortuna Düsseldorf over two legs for the right to play in the Bundesliga next season. They were second best today, but have to roll up their sleeves and focus on the relegation play-off, while Bremen fall short of finishing eighth only on goal difference.

Muted celebrations
Antwi-Adjei brings Bochum back into the game, but while the celebrations are muted on the field, the fans are celebrating big-time, because Freiburg have levelled at Union Berlin. This means Bochum are back out of the bottom three, as things stand!

All over?
Almost a carbon copy of Bremen's second, this time it's Stage who rises to head in - Bremen are three up, and Bochum are rooted in the bottom three, needing a favour from Freiburg to keep them out of the relegation play-off berth.

Half-time: Bremen 1-0 Bochum
Bochum have not been at the races so far, with Bremen deserving their half-time lead. They could have had a second, having hit the woodwork, though a penalty appeal in stoppage time almost gave Bochum a route back into the game. No penalty was given, though, so Bremen hold their lead with 45 minutes of the season remaining

Off the bar!
Another huge chance for Bremen with Schmid hitting the crossbar! Weiser teed him up in some style, but Schmid's shot comes back off the underside of the bar.

A fine save from Riemann in a one-on-one to deny Ducksch and keep Bochum in the game - just.

Weiser heads over
Bremen close to a second, with Bochum really struggling. They will at least take some comfort from the news that Wolfsburg have taken the lead against Mainz, so as things stand, they are safe.

Bremen looking at Freiburg
With Bremen taking the lead, they are looking at Freiburg - if the Black Forest club fall behind at Union Berlin now, Bremen would climb above them into eighth - potentially a European qualification berth!

Rare goal from Friedl!
One goal in his 130 previous Bundesliga games, and Friedl nets his second ever league goal, chesting the ball down and then hammering it into the roof of the net!

Schlotterbeck has the first shot of the game, but it is a weak one on the turn. Bochum are under pressure to score here, to secure their place in the Bundesliga next season.
