Thanks to a dream goal from Philipp Hofmann, VfL Bochum sparked a new spark of hope in the fog in the relegation battle. The striker scored the winning goal with his heel in the basement duel against newly promoted FC St. Pauli to make it 1-0 (0-0). The bottom of the table celebrated its second win of the season on the pitch, the third three-pointer at the green table after the “Köpenick scandal” has yet to be upheld in the appeal.
