Bochum and Steinwender Come from Behind to Win in Cottbus
The Blue-Whites secure a late victory against Energie Cottbus – Bielefeld also celebrates a 3-1 home win over Eintracht Braunschweig.
VfL Bochum secures their first win since early September in the 2. Bundesliga, coming from behind after a 0-1 deficit against Energie Cottbus.
On the tenth matchday, Michael Steinwender and Tino Casali's club fell behind after just 21 minutes. Following a foul by goalkeeper Timo Horn, Tolcay Cigerci put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot.
Bochum Turns the Game Around After the Break
In the second half, however, the visitors managed to turn things around: Philipp Hofmann first scored the equalizer (70th minute), and assist provider Christian Rasmussen turned the game around shortly before the end (88th minute).
Former Bundesliga player Steinwender played the full match in his tenth appearance for the Blue-Whites and received a yellow card in the 72nd minute, while reserve goalkeeper Casali did not feature.
Braunschweig Loses Without Kovacevic and Entrup
In the second Friday match, Arminia Bielefeld emerged victorious. Maximilian Grosser (23rd minute) and Joel Grodowski (27th, 68th minute) scored for the East Westphalians, while Aaron Opoku temporarily netted a consolation goal for Eintracht Braunschweig.
Damjan Kovacevic did not feature for former ÖFB assistant coach Lars Kornetka's team, and Maximilian Entrup remains sidelined for the Lions due to a ligament injury.
