Nuremberg celebrates turning point: dramatic 2-1 win against Bochum in the basement duel!

In a highly anticipated basement duel in the 2nd Bundesliga, 1. FC Nürnberg beat VfL Bochum 2-1 last weekend. This important game took place on September 22nd, 2025 and brought about a turning point for Nuremberg, who were able to leave the bottom of the table behind them.

The game began with an unpleasant series of celebrations. Nuremberg quickly took command and missed several chances, including by Pape Diop in the 24th minute. But VfL Bochum also had their opportunities, but could not benefit from them. A supposed goal by Fabio Gruber was disallowed due to a narrow offside position (32nd minute), which put Bochum under further pressure.

Turning point in the second half

The second half was to be the key to Nuremberg's success. In the 68th minute it was Julian Justvan who scored the first goal for Nuremberg after a nice pass from Finn Becker and made the fans cheer. But Bochum didn't give up and came back into the game in the 87th minute thanks to a penalty kick from Ibrahim Sissoko. The excitement in the stadium was hard to beat.

But the guests held their nerve in stoppage time. Adriano Grimaldi scored the decisive goal in the 90th + 2 minute, which ultimately secured Nuremberg's victory. Coach Miroslav Klose, who has been under pressure in recent weeks, was positive about his team's performance after the game.

Crisis situation at VfL Bochum

Looking ahead to the next games, Nuremberg has already scheduled its next duel against Hertha BSC, while Bochum has to prove itself against Fortuna Düsseldorf on Saturday. Given the current situation, both teams urgently need points to save their season.

The 2nd Bundesliga is known for its unpredictability, and this trend shows once again how quickly things can change. The coming period will probably be crucial for the promotion of some teams and the salvation of the other teams. It remains to be seen whether Nuremberg can carry this momentum forward for the next challenges and how Bochum will react to the latest changes.
