VfL Bochum picked up the next point to secure their place in the league with a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt. VfL Bochum want to do the same again against FC Bayern Munich.

A racy game that ultimately had no winner. In the end, he was satisfied with the 1:1 in Frankfurt, emphasized VfL Bochum defender Keven Schlotterbeck. Captain Anthony Losilla also echoed this sentiment.

“It was a very, very, very intense game. In the end it was just back and forth, both had their chances. In the end, it’s a fair point. Both sides could have won,” said the Frenchman.

Omar Marmoush had put Frankfurt ahead after 14 minutes, Moritz Broschinski equalized for VfL just a little later (17′). It was the youngster’s second goal of the season after scoring to make it 1-0 against FC Augsburg the previous week.

On the Bochum side, Takuma Asano missed a chance to win the game after 66 minutes when he failed to beat SGE keeper Jens Grahl. Losilla explained why VfL looked to attack on the road against a European Cup contender instead of defending the 1:1 with man and mouse: “We’ve learned from last week.”

VfL Bochum: Augsburg drama should not be repeated

VfL had conceded a last-minute equalizer against FC Augsburg thanks to a penalty from Ermedin Demirovic. “If we stand too deep, the opponent gets into a lot of dangerous situations. We wanted to prevent that. That’s why we kept going high. That paid off. “

The away weakness that has chronically accompanied VfL in the Bundesliga since their promotion was countered this afternoon. “We told ourselves that we shouldn’t just play boldly at home, but also away. I’d rather lose the way we’re playing than stand at the back and not actively participate in the game. “

In the end, there was indeed no defeat in Frankfurt. The extent to which this will also work against the reigning German champions will become clear on Sunday, February 18 at 5:30 pm. The seven goals conceded will be a thing of the past and will no longer concern him, assured Losilla.

“We want to continue to play courageously at home. Of course, we’re up against a very strong opponent, but we know that we can also upset strong opponents. Anything is possible at home.” with gp
