Across the league, Preußen Münster and VfL Bochum played to a 1‑1 draw. The match began evenly, but Münster proved more clinical. In the 35th minute Imad Rondic opened the scoring for the hosts, a skillfully executed pass from captain Hendrix finding the loan‑player from Köln, who flicked the ball past Bochum’s keeper, Oliver Horn. Bochum had several opportunities early on, notably a near‑miss by Koji Miyoshi in the 14th minute, but the goalkeeper from Schenk was decisive. In the second half Bochum pushed for an equalizer, yet Münster’s defense remained solid. Despite bringing on fresh legs such as Moritz Kwarteng and Oliver Olsen, the visitors could not force a breakthrough. The win moved Münster up to 12th place, widening the gap to the relegation zone, while Bochum must look to regroup and avoid slipping further down the table. The fixtures featured intense duels and tactical changes, but none altered the final results.
