VfL Wolfsburg’s struggles away from home continued on Saturday afternoon as they were beaten 3-1 by VfL Bochum, their sixth consecutive defeat on the road. Patrick Osterhage opened the scoring for the hosts in the 19th minute. Bernardo made it 2-0 with a header on 39 minutes, before Mattias Svanberg pulled a goal back for the Wolves in first-half stoppage time.
In the second half, the visitors had opportunities to draw level but conceded a third goal late on, Christopher Antwi-Adjei finishing off a counter-attack to wrap up a first home win of the season for Bochum.
The Green-and-Whites don’t have much time to catch their breath as they travel to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB Cup round of 16 on Tuesday 5 December (kick-off 20:45 CET).
