Bochum (dpa / lby) - 1. FC Nürnberg has conceded an unnecessary and unfortunate defeat at VfL Bochum after a great chance missed by center forward Manuel Schäffler.
At 1: 3 (1: 1), the “club” was on Saturday in the 2nd Bundesliga after the break to prevent the hosts from jumping to the top of the table.
But then veteran Robert Tesche (73rd / 83rd minute) struck twice for VfL, who demonstrated the strength of a top team.
In the first half, Schäffler had given Nuremberg the lead after a fine counterattack over Fabian Nürnberger and Robin Hack with a deflected shot (29th).
But Bochum countered less than two minutes later.
The "club" defended poorly in their own penalty area.
Robert Zulj scored after a header from Anthony Losilla.
One week after the 1-1 draw against Hamburger SV, the "Club" was again on a par with a candidate for promotion for a long time.
After the break, a win even seemed possible for coach Robert Klauss' team.
After a move over Hack and Sapreet Singh, Schäffler was free to finish.
However, the 31-year-old hit the ball over the bar from close range in the 65th minute.
Tesche did it better: The 33-year-old defended the ball against Fabian Schleusener and hit the corner from 17 meters.
He followed up the 3: 1 volley.
