Full-time: Stuttgart 2-0 Bochum

A deserved win for Stuttgart, who piled on the pressure all match and duly bagged two second-half goals. Bochum held out for long stretches, soaking up the pressure, but didn't have the cutting edge to hit back after falling behind. Stuttgart thus get back on track and climb to provisional seventh while bottom side Bochum, still winless, continue to prop up the table.

Millot skies it

Führich looms again

Führich scores a belter!

With his run not picked out by the defence, livewire Führich controls a long pass with a deft touch before cutting inform the left and curling a superb strike in at Drewes' far post. A very well-deserved goal for the Germany international!

Woodwork!

Mittelstädt's free-kick into the area perfectly picks out Chabot, whose dangerous header comes back off the frame of the goal! Stuttgart's considerable skill from set pieces could prove decisive here today.

Signs of life from Bochum

Some pressure in the centre circle pays off and Bochum break for the Stuttgart goal, and although the home rearguard back-pedal quickly enough with Rouault cutting out Passlack's cross, it's encouraging for the visitors.

Suffocating

It's all Stuttgart in the early stages, but Hoeneß's men will need to sharpen up if they're to capitalise.

Vagnomann fluffs his lines

Set up with a deft cut-back from Führich in the area, Vagnomann looked all set to stroke home but poor contact with the ball saw it fizz away. Could easily have been the opener for Sttutgart!

Hoeneß's view on Bochum

"The change of coach obviously makes Bochum different to analyse. There's real life in Bochum now. Dieter Hecking has managed to bring that in a short space of time. You could see it against Leverkusen, and it's the same approach Bochum will take against us."
camera-photo

Hecking's view on Stuttgart

"Stuttgart's performances have been decent, but they've come out of that with too few points. They're also conceding too many goals for a top team. Maybe it's a chance for us to get our foot in the door. They lost some important players [over the summer] but still have plenty of quality. Chris Führich, Enzo Millot, Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirović can hurt any team. Stuttgart play differently to Leverkusen, maybe not quite so big on counter-pressing."

Watch: Sky's the limit for Alexander Nübel

Alex Nübel returns to Bundesliga action, fresh from winning his second Germany cap. The Bayern Munich-owned Stuttgart goalkeeper played in a 1-1 draw with Hungary, only being beaten by a 99th-minute penalty. Find out why he's so highly regarded...

Can Hecking be Bochum’s hero?

Despite earning a hard-fought point against Leverkusen in Hecking’s first match in charge, Bochum have gone without a win in their opening 10 league matches for the first time in their Bundesliga history. It will be a tough trip to Stuttgart for Bochum, but their new boss has won 12 competitive matches against the Swabians, more than against any other team in his coaching career.
