Stuttgart, Deutschland - On the 28th matchday of the Bundesliga, VfB Stuttgart set a clear sign in the relegation battle and won against VfL Bochum 4-0 (2: 0).

After the break, Demirovic marked the 3-0 in the 48th minute and made the hat trick with his third goal in the 85th minute. Bochum remained harmless aggressively, and despite changing impulses by coach Dieter Hecking, the team did not score. The Bochumer only had the first real chance in the 60th minute, which, however, did not count, such as bundesliga.com reported.

Bochums desperate descent battle

After this bitter defeat, Bochum is faced with the urgent task in the remaining season to score more points than the competitors in the last six games.
