VfL Bochum vs. 1. FC Köln: Bundesliga NOW in the live ticker – 1:1

36 .: Tooor for 1. FC Köln!

34th: Then Bochum get back into the opposing penalty area, because Kostas Stafylidis prevails on the right against two Cologne. The guests also do not get the entry cleaned up. The ball falls to the right of the goal area in front of Jürgen Locadia’s feet. Marvin Schwäbe parried his right-footed shot with a great reaction and right foot.

32nd: But of course Effzeh is far from giving up. why? The Rhinelanders have their share of the game whenever the game ends even better.

30th: With further efforts to get something up and running, neither side can get beyond the beginnings. Of course, that plays into the hands of the team in front.

27th: Cologne would like to offer a reaction immediately. At least two corners are worked out. However, this does not create any danger.

25th: Gooool! VFL BOCHUM – 1. FC Cologne 1:0. Now the hosts have an opportunity to counterattack. Jürgen Locadia held the ball well and served Gerrit Holtmann, who was moving up, at the right moment. The angle in the box on the right seems to be getting too sharp again for him. But this time his right-footed shot finds its way through the legs of Marvin Schwäbe into the near corner.

23rd: After a throw-in on the left, Effzeh suddenly becomes dangerous. Dejan Ljubicic has some space, puts the ball low in the middle. Bochum’s Maxim Leitsch slips there. Anthony Modeste is free to shoot on the left. With a little reserve, the Frenchman shoots over the crossbar.

19th: The hosts go to work in a much more targeted manner and thus emit more danger. In terms of game shares, the Cologne team are certainly doing well, but hardly anything constructive is happening with the guests.

17th: Now VfL has a changeover situation. Gerrit Holtmann can no longer be stopped and storms into the penalty area from the right half. A passing station does not open up, so the winger shoots from an unfavorable angle with his right foot. Marvin Schwäbe stops the ball with a foot defense.

16th: Bochum then provides some game culture again. Gerrit Holtmann puts the ball through the box on the right corner of the penalty area. Eduard Löwen shoots immediately with his right foot – but misses the long corner.

14th: As a result, both teams lose each other a little in the duels. So something usually comes at the expense of game flow. So here too.

12th: Then we experience a somewhat more hearty duel for the first time. Luca Kilian takes no prisoners against Elvis Rexhbecaj. Referee Jöllenbeck still lets the yellow card stick.

11th: Now there is the first corner kick of this encounter. The kick for Cologne Louis Schaub. Luca Kilian gets the header, but cannot seriously challenge Manuel Riemann.

9th: Milos Pantovic plays into the middle from the right. Freestanding Anthony Losilla spins quickly and shoots with his right hand from a inside right position. Marvin Schwäbe responded brilliantly, defending with his right leg. Only then does the offside whistle sound.

8th.: On the opposite side, Anthony Modeste is now trying from the second row. The right-footed shot misses the goal of Manuel Riemann.

6th: Only now does the first final act emerge. A low cross from the left by Gerrit Holtmann slips through to Milos Pantovic, who immediately shoots from twelve meters. Jonas Hector blocks the right-footed shot. Elvis Rexhbecaj then tries to get in the background, but misses the box.

3rd: Both teams are looking for their rhythm. This is also moderately successful. When closed, not much runs together on the lawn.

1: The ball rolls!

VfL Bochum vs. 1. FC Köln: Bundesliga NOW in the live ticker – kick-off

Before start: Incidentally, the first half of the 3rd round went 2-1 to Cologne. Before that, they had last faced each other in competitive matches in the 2018/2019 second division season. There were two away wins – Effzeh won 2-0 in Bochum. The last VfL success in front of a home crowd came in the last season together – also in the 2nd division. In November 2013, the Westphalians asserted themselves 1-0.

Before start: Bochum are aiming for their third home win in a row, having beaten Wolfsburg in the Ruhr Stadium at the beginning of the year (1-0). The last time VfL lost at home was just before Christmas against Union Berlin (0-1).

Before start: So the last two home games for the Rhinelanders did not end well. Insofar as one on the Cologne side can be happy that it is time to travel again. Because abroad, Steffen Baumgart’s team celebrated the only win of the young year at the start of the second half of the season at Hertha BSC (3:1). So you are now unbeaten away for four games. The last bankruptcy on foreign territory was in Dortmund at the end of October (0:2).

Before start: The cup week went very differently for the two clubs. While Effzeh legitimately and ultimately also curiously failed in a penalty shoot-out at second division Hamburger SV (3:4), VfL did not show any weaknesses in the Bundesliga duel at home against Mainz (3:1) and reached the quarter-finals after the Bundesliga away game three days earlier was lost against this opponent with 0:1. With a look at the Bundesliga table, we see the conflict between the eleventh and the ninth. There are five points between the two teams.

Before start: On the guest side, Steffen Baumgart rotates again. After the game on Tuesday there are a whopping six changes. Watching from the bench when Kingsley Ehizibue, Jannes Horn, Kingsley Schindler, Jan Thielmann, Mark Uth and Sebastian Andersson. Benno Schmitz, Salih Özcan, Florian Kainz, Ondrej Duda, Louis Schaub and Anthony Modeste are used from the start.

• Schwäbe – Schmitz, Hübers, Kilian, Hector – Özcan – Ljubicic, Kainz – Duda – Modeste, Schaub

Before start: Compared to the cup game on Tuesday, Thomas Reis makes two changes. Instead of Cristian Gamboa and Patrick Osterhage, who both take a seat on the bench today, Kostas Stafylidis and Eduard Löwen slip into Bochum’s starting XI.

• Riemann-Stafylidis, Bella Kotchap, Leitsch, Danilo Soares-Losilla-Lion, Rexhbecaj-Pantovic, Holtmann-Locadia

Before start: The top game on matchday 20 of the Bundesliga kicks off at 6:30 p.m. today at the Vonovia-Ruhrstadion in Bochum.
