Bochum (dpa / lby) - SSV Jahn Regensburg did not succeed in the final step towards relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga against league leaders VfL Bochum.
After a good start with the eleventh goal of the season by Andreas Abers (26th minute), the Upper Palatinate lost 1: 5 (1: 2) in the first promotion candidate on Sunday.
"Even if we still have a game to catch up, it's all real finals for us now," said goalkeeper Alexander Meyer.
“We have the next game on Thursday.
Now we have to show a different face, we are not allowed to present ourselves like that. "
The chances of a surprise for the guests were only gone after Benedikt Saller (59th) received a red card due to a gross foul.
Just two minutes later, the Bochum team took advantage of the majority to 3-1 through Gerrit Holtmann.
Robert Zulj (78th) and Silvere Ganvoula with a converted foul penalty in stoppage time still increased for the Bochumers, who are close to promotion to the Bundesliga.
Jahn also beat himself. Jan-Niklas Beste (38th) made an own goal at 1: 2.
The full-back, who had prepared the Albers header with a precise cross, easily cleared a cross from Robert Tesche with his left foot.
He hit the ball unlucky - goal instead of corner.
Beste also caused the penalty kick shortly before the end.

Tesche (29th) had previously scored the much too quick 1: 1 with a long-range shot for Bochum, who ultimately won too high.
Jahn still has three chances against Kiel, Sandhausen and St. Pauli in order to stay in the 2nd division perfectly.
"The way we performed today, how one or the other was on the road, makes us think," said coach Mersad Selimbegovic.
