Mainz equalise deep into stoppage time!
Dramatic scenes! Mainz win a late free-kick that even goalkeeper Robin Zentner goes up for. It's hoisted into the box and ends up running loose around the edge of the box for Tom Krauß to smash it on target - it then flies into the net via a helpful deflection.

Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Schlotterbeck restores the lead
Remarkable! After accidentally scoring to equalise in his own net, Keven Schlotterbeck responds by sending a brilliant header on goal from a corner. Zentner gets his fingertips to it but can't quite keep it out.

Bochum seize initiative again
The recent substitutions seem to have paid off with Bochum penning Mainz back once again. Gruda then does well to chase down on the hosts' goal on a break, but the ball ends up going out of play.
69'
Hofmann almost brings Bochum back in front
The ball falls to the substitute just in front of goal. He twists and takes aim on the target only to be denied by a fantastic stop by Zentner from close range.

Mainz level
Bochum have looked comfortable defensively all night, but Mainz get a goal out of nowhere. Caci's drive from the edge of the box is accidentally blocked by his team-mate Barkok and knocked away from goal - but right into Schlotterbeck and then into the net!

Van den Berg down
A stoppage as Barreiro smashes a clearance straight into the face of his Mainz team-mate, Sepp van den Berg. The Liverpool loanee is on his feet and checked for concussion but looks like he is fine to continue.

Three minutes of stoppage time indicated
Let's see if we have any more chances before the break in this fascinating encounter.

Gruda crosses for Ajorque
The Mainz centre-forward can't get to that one by the time Bernardo deals with it. Mainz have been showing plenty of ambition in the past few minutes, but more precision in their build-up play would have helped.
40'
Gruda puts a good corner in
It's a threatening delivery from the youngster from the left, although Bochum get a free-kick as Barreiro jumps into a defender.
36'
Mainz move forward again
After a quieter spell, there is now perhaps a sign Mainz are growing into this game. Da Costa swings a cross in from the right looking for Ajorque, but Riemann grabs hold of the ball with ease.
33'
Three changes
You don't see that too often - three substitutions at the same time in the first half! Mainz make what appears to be two tactical changes, while Bochum's switch is forced with Ordets limping off the pitch.

Bochum free-kick
It's been a battling opening as you get a clear sense of just how keen the two teams are to claim their first win of the season tonight. Kohr slides in to foul Förster and gets a talking to from the referee.

Two changes for Bochum too
Thomas Letsch has likewise shuffled his team in two positions following last week's defeat by Freiburg. Christopher Antwi-Adjei and Gonçalo Paciência drop to the bench, with Philipp Förster and Moritz Broschinski starting instead - the latter is making his starting debut in the Bundesliga following 15 appearances as a substitute.
More on those teams
Mainz boss Bo Svensson has made two changes to his side: Maxim Leitsch and Karim Onisiwo both come in for Jae-sung Lee and Edimilson Fernandes, who had each started every game so far this term. Bochum won't be pleased to see Onisiwo starting, as the Austrian forward scored five times against them last season!

Winless and porous
Bochum and Mainz are the only teams still without a win this Bundesliga season. The 05ers have the joint-worst defence (22 goals conceded, along with Darmstadt). Bochum are next on that list (21).
