Over
Kwarteng shoots high and wide. Time is running out for the visitors in their search for a first point of the 2024/25 term.

Close call
Höler slots into the corner via the post, but is in an offside position when he picks up the ball. That could have been the points settled.

Almost the hat-trick
Adamu's header goes over the bar from close range. He will be hoping he does not rue that miss, and he is taken off shortly after.

Just wide
Hofmann almost finds the bottom corner - instead, though, his low attempt grazes the right post and goes behind.

Should be three!
For a man with such a brilliant right foot, Grifo should do better than firing his shot over the bar when blessed with plenty of time and space at the back post.

Turnaround complete
In the end, Freiburg needed just three minutes to go in front. Adamu has got his eye in, clearly, as his admittedly heavily-deflected shot nestles in the corner after some penalty-area pinball.
59'
Back on level terms!
It has been coming! Just like Boadu, albeit in what is his 18th game for his club, Adamu scores his first Freiburg goal in the Bundesliga as he places a composes finish into the top corner when one-on-one with Drewes.

The hosts are pushing for an equaliser, yet they can't get past the wall that is Drewes between the sticks.

Incredible!
Somehow, Freiburg are still behind! A free-kick beats everybody before arriving at Adamu's feet at the back post. From a tight angle, the centre-forward shoots goalwards, but Drewes is on the line to keep it out. The Bochum shot-stopper is having a brilliant game so far.

Almost two!
Bochum are finishing the half off strongly! Miyoshi's attempt from distance is curling towards the back of the net before Atubolu, running back towards his goalline, intervenes at the final moment.
45'
+ 2
Boadu, Zeidler and Bochum off the mark.
That effort was the goalscorer's first for his new club, while it was also Peter Zeidler's first as a Bundesliga head coach. It also means Bochum are off the mark this term, too.
45'
Out of nowhere
The visitors have been quiet so far, but they are now in front! Wittek fires something between a cross and a shot across the face of goal, and Boadu is there to tap into an empty net!

Another try from Dōan. Again, though, Drewes is equal to it. That battle continues to develop.

Adamu over
The striker tries his luck from a tight angle but can't keep his effort down. Freiburg, though, are turning up the pressure here and look the more likely to break the deadlock.
24'
Double stop!
Freiburg have burst into life, yet they remain on level terms. Dōan has been particularly dangerous in this clash, and he draws two crucial stops from Drewes from close range.
23'
Röhl denied
The first real chance of the game, as Drewes gets down well to keep out the youngster's low shot.

Great chance!
Grifo swings in a corner, and Dōan has a free header at goal from a central position. However, he puts it wide of the post.
10'
Back and forth
The two teams are exchanging possession so far here, with neither side dominating as of yet.

Eggestein over
The midfielder is always stretching and, although he gets his foot on the cross, it flies high over the crossbar.

Early chance
Debutant Miyoshi drags his attempt wide of the post inside the first minute. Nothing for Atubolu to worry about there.

Nul points
As well as losing twice in the Bundesliga to start 2024/25, Bochum went out of the DFB Cup to Bundesliga 2's Jahn Regensburg. That means Peter Zeidler has the unwanted record of being the club's first senior coach to lose his first three competitive games in charge.
