Bochum Upsets Dortmund in Thrilling Encounter
VfL Bochum secured a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in a captivating match played at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion in Bochum on February 15th, 2025. Despite a significant possession disadvantage (32% for Bochum compared to Dortmund’s 68%), the home side proved far more clinical in front of goal.
Two goals from Giorgios Masouras, the first assisted by Philipp Hofmann (33rd minute) and the second an unassisted effort (35th minute), proved decisive in a game where Bochum capitalized on their chances. Dortmund, while generating more attempts (17 shots to Bochum’s 18), only managed to direct two on target. Discipline also played a role, with Bochum receiving one yellow card and Dortmund none. Despite Dortmund’s overwhelming possession, Bochum’s finishing accuracy and decisiveness were key to their win in a Bundesliga Round 22 clash.
