Full-time Bochum 2-2 Kiel

Pichler's blushes spared

In a carbon copy of their first goal, Pichler breaks behind the Bochum lines but drags his shot wide from close range. The offside flag is raised afterwards anyhow.
80'

A late push for Kiel

Kiel haven't lost their energy just yet, but as has been the case for most of the game, the final pass can never quite seem to find its target. They seek a goal to avoid losing their opening four Bundesliga games.

Passlack booked

His foul breaks up a promising attack for Kiel and allows Bochum to get back. He sees yellow.

Hofmann booked

The forward sees a yellow card for impeding the restart for the visitors after a foul.

Not enough on it from Arp

Kiel break away down the right and ball is swung into Arp, who has a free header but just cannot generate enough power behind the ball. Comfortable stop for Drewes.

Working hard

Despite being behind, visitors Kiel have covered more than three kilometers more than Bochum.

Good chance for Bochum

Their first good chance of the second half is set up by substitute Kwarteng, who plays Broschinski through. His hard right-footed shot down to the keeper's right is well saved and goes behind for a corner.

Another set-piece for Kiel

Double change

Big chance for Gigovic

Rosenboom works the ball down the right before squaring it to Gigovic from the byline, but the winger can only put it over in a chance very similar to that from Kelati in the first half. But this is better from Kiel.
60'

Long throw-in

A new trick is implemented by Kiel on their set pieces as a long throw goes into the box, where it almost finds Pichler, but is cleared away.
56'

Kelati goes close

A cross from the left is met by Rosenboom, who knocks it down to Kelati on the edge of the box. The shot is hesitant and dragged narrowly wide past the left post.

Momentum fading

A few early fouls, and players picking up knocks has just taken the sting out of the start of this second half. Both teams seem more inclined to play long than they did in the first half.

One to watch: Boadu

Daschner for the second!

Kiel ride a couple strong challenges but are ultimately fouled by the hosts. They've given away a few fouls - can the visitors capitalise?

Another free-kick

Kiel win another free-kick in a similar position to the last but on the right this time. Captain Holtby plays it to the far post but massively overhits it, resulting in a goal kick for the hosts.

Deflected

Bochum work the ball down the left and cut it back to the edge of the box where they manage to get a shot off, but it's delcted by the sea of legs in the Kiel penalty area.
