The game was a thriller towards the end. Borussia Dortmund laid siege at times but were consistently denied by Manuel Riemann. With an xG of 2.9 and a shot count of 21-10, BVB had the better chances. But Bochum defended with passion and picked up a point despite an xG of just 0.7. The match facts.
Fast start: The first two shots at goal both went in; Bochum’s goal in the fifth minute was their fastest of the season.
Commanding: Mats Hummels completed 93% of his passes – including long balls – and won a very good 71% of his challenges.
Quick turnovers: Dortmund needed only 10.7 seconds to win the ball back, which was far less than Bochum (18.1). That even went down to nine seconds after the break.
In form: Karim Adeyemi has scored four goals in his past seven Bundesliga games.
Troubles on the road: BVB are winless in six competitive matches on their travels (four in the league, one in the DFB-Pokal, one in the UEFA Champions League), with three of those ending in defeat.
Oldie: Anthony Losilla found the net again after 35 Bundesliga games without a goal and became the oldest goalscorer of the season aged 37 years and 49 days.
