Holstein Kiel secured a 1-1 draw against VfL Bochum in the 2. Bundesliga, as part of the celebrations for the club's 125th anniversary. The VfL Bochum remained unbeaten in their second game under Uwe Rösler. Francis Onyeka scored for VfL, while Louis Köster scored the late equalizer for the hosts. In the second half, the home team pushed for the equalizer and were rewarded for their improved performance. The VfL Bochum pressed early and made it difficult for the hosts to get into the game. Nevertheless, Holstein Kiel took the initiative in the initial phase. The best chance of the first half was Jonas Therkelsen, who prevailed on the left wing against Leandro Morgalla and just missed the far corner with a shot. On the other side, Mats Pannewig tested the Kiel goalkeeper Jonas Krumrey, who safely caught the ball. Overall, both teams lacked precision in their finishing in the first half, so it was goalless at halftime. Shortly after the restart, referee Florian Lechner pointed to the penalty spot after a duel between Cajetan Lenz and Marko Ivezić on the edge of the penalty area. Francis Onyeka safely converted the penalty to give Bochum the lead. The Storks reacted with fierce attacks: Alexander Bernhardsson failed with a powerful shot at the right post in the 63rd minute. Marcel Rapp responded and brought in fresh forces with Louis Köster and Niklas Niehoff. The Kiel team increased the pressure, while the Bochum team withdrew further. In the 86th minute, the hosts were rewarded for their efforts: the substituted Köster headed in a cross from Bernhardsson to equalize 1-1. In the aftermath, Kiel pushed for the winning goal, but Marcus Müller failed to beat Timo Horn.
