Full-time Bochum 2-2 Kiel

Porath wins a corner

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.
79'

Passlack booked

His foul breaks up a promising attack for Kiel and allows Bochum to get back. He sees yellow.
77'

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

With Holtby now off, Arp takes the free-kick for Kiel in the middle of the park. It falls to Rosenboom on the edge but he shoots wide.

Double change

A double substitution for Kiel sees Kelati and Holtby go off for Arp and Skrzybski. Can they help their side rescue a point?

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.
53'

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

The striker has been marauding down Bochum's left all half, grabbing himself and assist for the first goal and being involved in the second. If Kiel want to get back into this they may want to find a way to keep him quiet.

Holtby goes down in the box

Bero booked

Bero receives the first booking of the game for his protest after a challenge from Sissoko is penalised. But once again, Kiel can't make the set piece count.
36'

Daschner for the second!

After a series of crosses into the Kiel box, Hofmann gets on the end of one and knew exactly where Daschner was. He lays it into his path for the midfielder to just place the ball into the net. They've turned it around.

Kiel go close

The ball is worked back into the Bochum box by Kiel, who chip it through to Pichler, who had got the wrong side of his man. The striker can only tip it over the bar though. Kiel are looking brighter though.

A better free-kick

The delivery is better this time, but is cleared away.

The challenges are flying

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.

A quiet start

As both sides look for their first Bundesliga points of the season, they seem to be sizing each other up. No great chances as of yet.

Free-kick

Puchacz beats his man down the left and is fouled outside the box. The free-kick is whipped in to the far post but is headed wide.
