Düsseldorf (dpa) - VfL Bochum has taken another big step towards the return of the Bundesliga.

The league leader of the 2nd Bundesliga won the top game at SpVgg Greuther Fürth with 2: 1 (1: 1) and took off a bit in the tight promotion race.

Hit by Anthony Losilla (7th minute) and the former Fürther Robert Zulj (61.) from a penalty kick ensured the important success on matchday 24.
