Red card for Philipp Strompf (VfL Bochum)
The VfL Bochum defender sees the red card! The 27-year-old, who has already scored an own goal, receives the ball improperly in his own half and loses it to Undav. Then the Bochum man tackles his opponent from behind and is still the last man standing. The referee checks the scene himself in the review area and sends the player to the locker room.

VAR: Expulsion.

The VAR checks a possible sending off.

18:43
Way over! Wittek takes heart a good twenty meters to the left of the Stuttgart goal, but shoots the ball a few meters over.
41.
18:42
The Bochum team put in a more than decent performance and get into the dangerous spaces every now and then. Above all, the hard-working Wätjen is doing a lot of work on his side.
38.
6:39 p.m
Mittelstädt passes through to Leweling on the left side. He doesn’t find a teammate with his cross pass. Bochum can clarify.
36.
6:37 p.m
Wätjen again! Jeltsch slips away and loses the ball in his own half. Wätjen finishes flat from the half-left position, but Bredlow is in position and has the ball.

Bochum narrowly missed the equalizer
32.
18:34
Big opportunity for VfL Bochum! Wätjen wins the ball and picks up speed on the left side. He plays the ball sharply in front of the Stuttgart goal, where a VfB player first comes to the ball during a tackle and then Onyeka shoots over it as he falls.
31.
6:31 p.m
Free kick for Bochum near the halfway line. Wittek brings the ball long into the box, where Mittelstädt wins and clears the header duel.
28.
18:29
Currently almost everything is happening between the two penalty areas. Stuttgart is always looking for gaps in Bochum’s bulwark.
25.
18:26
When VfL comes into play in the front third, they always have space. Ultimately, the crucial precision is still missing.
22.
18:23
Leweling! The German international is served with a cross from the right side and tries a direct shot from the penalty spot. He doesn’t get enough pressure on the ball and Horn can hold onto it without any problems.
20.

Long-range shot by F. Alfa-Ruprecht
20.
18:21
Almost compensation for the hosts! After winning the ball in midfield, Alfa-Ruprecht is sent on his way with a long ball. He runs towards the opposing goal alone, but Bredlow, who storms out, bothers him a little. The striker shoots the ball just over from about 25 meters.
18.
6:19 p.m
Apart from conceding a goal, VfL Bochum is doing well. Defensively, Uwe Rösler’s men don’t allow much else and in between they can provide relief with counterattacks.
15.
6:16 p.m
The numbers also show that the guests control the game and are the more active team. The Swabians currently have 79 percent possession of the ball.

Tooor for VfB Stuttgart, 0-1 by Philipp Strompf (own goal)
VfB takes the lead – through an own goal! After a long Stuttgart throw-in from the left side, Strompf headed the ball over his goalkeeper into the far corner in the six-yard box. Horn can’t do anything anymore.
12.
18:12
The Bochum team are lurking on counterattacks from a stable defense and want to set dangerous pinpricks. The team in the blue jerseys only attacks the player with the ball from the halfway line.

Dangerous corner of Bochum

Electricity to the head! The central defender forces goalkeeper Bredlow to react strongly with his header at the second post. Stuttgart can then clarify.

First shot on goal by K. Wätjen
7.
6:08 p.m
Wätjen from an acute angle! After a quick win of the ball, the loan from Borussia Dortmund takes place at lightning speed. The 19-year-old picks up speed on the left, enters the penalty area on the left and shoots. Bredlow parries for a corner.
5.
6:05 p.m
VfB Stuttgart takes control of the game immediately. Bochum has eleven players in its own half and forms a five-man defense.

5:14 p.m
After a successful start to the first round with a 3-1 win against BFC Dynamo, VfL Bochum knocked first division club FC Augsburg out of the cup in the second round. Gerrit Holtmann scored the only and decisive goal against FCA and thus completed the little surprise.
