Four goals, hard duels, but hardly any movement in the table cellar: Holstein Kiel and VfL Bochum do not progress equally after a draw in the Bundesliga basement duel. The penultimate table from the north missed the leap in the 2-2 (1: 2) on Sunday against the more playfully convincing bottom from Westphalia, Bochum continues to wait for the first away win of the season.
Bochum quickly shook off the lightning start of the Kieler by Steven Skrzybski to lead (3rd). Myron Boadu turned the game with two goals within 123 seconds in favor of the guests (37th, 39th) – but the accurate Dutchman was injured in Bochum’s dismay before the half -time break on the left thigh. In the second round, defender David Zec equalized (50th).
:“As the Bayern are on it, we can almost write it down”
Was that already with the championship for Bayer 04? Because coach Xabi Alonso against Wolfsburg weakens his eleven with a radical rotation, the Leverkuseners have to watch how Bayern hints off – a short assignment by Florian Wirtz raises questions.
Due to the defeat of 1. FC Heidenheim, Holstein moves up to one point in 16th place. Bochum also remains with three points behind the FCH within reach, especially since VfL could get two additional points from the scandal game at Union Berlin.
Both coaches had deliberately avoided speaking of a “final” before the duel. Nevertheless, it was clear to everyone involved that the loser could take a possibly consequent crack – the pressure was great. VfL was hardly shocked by the perfect Holstein start into the game. In return, the guests also demanded a penalty – but referee Felix Zwayer continued to run (5th). In the eleventh minute of play, Bochum would have had to compensate, but Boadu had to hire his visor and grimaced a few meters before the goal after a sharp cross from Gerrit Holtmann.
Bochum, with the two winter accesses Tom Krauss and Georgios Masouras in the starting eleven in the first half, also playfully made a lot of pressure. The hosts, who had to change their goal shooters Skrzybski and also defender Marco Komenda early due to injury, could hardly break away from the defensive – the consequence was logical. At Boadus left shot to compensate, Holstein goalkeeper Timon Weiner did not make a good figure.
In the second round, too, the Kielers then got off to a better start. After a dangerous shot by Armin Gigovic (48th), ZEC prevailed and the game was open again. In the 73rd minute of the game, Lewis Holtby cheered on the supposed leadership goal of the storks – but Zwayer collected the goal again because of a foul. “I don’t say anything to the referee anymore. So if that’s a foul. This is a scandal, ”said Holtby:“ He runs into my hand. If this is a foul, the best way to stop next season. ”
