The Bundesliga match on the 23rd round finished in a 1‑1 draw for VfL Bochum and 1. FC Nürnberg. Nürnberg opened the scoring in the 38th minute when Mohamed‑Ali Zoma finished off a low cross from close range. Bochum struggled to make an impact early but had chances, particularly through Marshall, before the break.
After the half‑time switch the game became more open, but Nürnberg was not able to extend their lead and lost good opportunities. In the 72nd minute, Francis Onyeka converted a penalty to level the score. In the closing stages both teams pressed for a winner, yet the chances proved scarce and the match ended in a fair draw. For Bochum it was another point in a winless streak, while Nürnberg secured at least a single point on home soil.
In the parallel fixture, Greuther Fürth defeated Arminia Bielefeld 2‑1, picking up valuable points in the relegation battle. Fürth took the early lead as Branimir Hrgota headed home from a short cross on the left in the 4th minute. Bielefeld struggled to settle in but came back with a corner‑converted header from Robin Knoche in the 19th minute, tying the game.
After the side‑change Fürth once again had the upper hand, and Dennis Srbeny secured a 2‑1 lead in the 53rd minute. From then on Bielefeld swung the initiative in phases, but found it hard to breach the hosts’ compact defence. The match finished with Fürth’s narrow 2‑1 win, a result that helps the club’s fight against relegation, while Bielefeld was left without the gains they had sought.
