Relegation thriller in Bochum: Referee Wagner in focus!
Today, November 2nd, 2025, all football-loving hearts in Germany are looking at the Ruhrstadion, where 1. FC Magdeburg and VfL Bochum meet. The meeting is particularly important because both teams are in the middle of a relegation battle in the 2nd Bundesliga. So the air is noticeably tense!
VfL Bochum is known for its duel-focused and robust style of play. The spectators can expect a high-scoring but tough duel in which every decision on the pitch will be of great importance. Referee Felix Wagner, a rising talent, will officiate the game. Wagner, who has been active in the third division since last season, has already refereed 13 games there and achieved an average grade of 3.12.
Felix Wagner: A name that thrives in football
Wagner has already managed two games in the 2nd Bundesliga this season. His debut, the game between Karlsruhe and Braunschweig (2-0), received a grade of 4.0. Although he didn't make any serious mistakes, some petty decisions caused a stir. His second game, the encounter between Elversberg and Kiel (1-0), also ended with a similar grade and some controversial decisions, including a hotly debated penalty and harsh yellow cards. In total, Wagner showed six yellow cards in these two games - a number that may be in the fans' eyes again this Sunday.
What is particularly explosive is that Bochum have already met Wagner in the DFB Cup; The match against BFC Dynamo ended with an impressive eight yellow and two red cards. Gerrit Holtmann, a VfL player, was critical of Wagner's decisions at the time. It remains to be seen whether these experiences will have an impact on today's game.
The referee team
Wagner can look forward to active support today: Marco Achmüller and Simon Schreiner act as linesmen, while Martin Thomsen Endriß acts as fourth official. Pascal Müller will also work as a video referee, supported by Markus Häcker. The team will do everything they can to manage the game in a fair and structured manner.
How should the situation develop in the relegation battle? Will Magdeburg be able to exploit their home advantage or can Bochum strike away? The answer to this is on the pitch – the great football adventure begins!
