The scenario: A victory against fast-chasing Blomberg was almost a must in the battle to hang on to third place in the league, and with it the guarantee of a place in the European League next season. In recent months, HSG Blomberg-Lippe had fought to get within two points of BVB. A Blomberg victory would have seen them pull level with BVB with two matches to go before the end of the season.

Ruben Vargas and the rest of the Switzerland national team got back to winning ways following a rather disappointing 2-2 draw in Kosovo. The winger was substituted on during added time in Switzerland’s 3-0 victory over Andorra, as the “Nati” put themselves in prime position to qualify for EURO 2024. They currently sit top of Group I with 14 points from six games.

Germany U21s kicked off their EURO 2025 qualifying campaign with a win. Antonio Di Salvo’s team defeated Kosovo 3-0, with all three goals coming in the second half. FCA new arrival Tim Breithaupt kept things tight and organised in the middle of the park when he came on for the second 45.

Mert Kömür dazzled for Germany U19s in Spain. After scoring Germany’s winner against England (1-0), the 18-year-old attacker was on the scoresheet again in their 6-1 win over Switzerland. Kömür bagged the goal to make it 3-0 in the 20th minute, before coming off at half time.

Dion Beljo already has two goals to his name this season in the Bundesliga, and he added to his tally while on international duty with Croatia U21s. He put his nation 3-0 up in the 75th minute, as they started their qualifying campaign with a 4-2 win over the Faroe Islands.

Whoever wins this game will face the winners of the Real Madrid vs Chelsea tie, and it’s looking like this side of the bracket might determine the overall champion. It’s an absolute stacked competition.

The partnership of Grifo and Weißhaupt worked well down the left, with Bochum sitting back early on looking for chances to start a counter-attack. The first shot for either side came in the 12th minute from a VfL corner, which was flicked on at the near post to Bernardo at the back, who could only direct his header wide. A long ball by Bochum keeper Manuel Riemann led to the opening goal after a quarter of an hour. Asano switched the play with a cross for Paciencia, who took it on the volley on the edge of the box, timing it beautifully to pick out the bottom corner. It was a goal from nowhere, but Bochum were the side with the best chances to date.

In Márton Dárdai and Jessic Ngankam, Hertha have two players called up to the Germany U21s squad for the U21s EUROs. Antonio Di Salvo originally called up a provisional squad of 26 players, including goalkeepers, before cutting three players on 14th June.
