Schalke 04 Secures Seventh Consecutive Home Win Against VfL Bochum
In a thrilling encounter at the Veltins-Arena, FC Schalke 04 emerged victorious against VfL Bochum with a final score of 2:1. This marks Schalke's second home win of the season and their seventh consecutive victory against their rivals.
The game, the 61st league meeting between the two teams since 1963, was the first in the lower league. The crowd of 62,083 fans played a significant role in Schalke's push for the win in the final minutes.
In the first half, both teams had one big chance each. Kevin Vogt of VfL Bochum missed a penalty against Schalke's goalkeeper Loris Karius (25.), while Antwi-Adjei, a former Bochum player who joined Schalke in 2024, found his match in goalkeeper Timo Horn.
The coach of Schalke, Miron Muslic, will be pleased with his team's resilience, especially in the closing stages of the game. Hasan Kurucay (76.) and Bryan Lasme (79.) scored the crucial goals for Schalke, securing the win after a tense finale.
Gerrit Holtmann scored the initial goal for VfL Bochum (65.), but they remained stuck on three points, continuing their winless run in the second division.
It's worth noting that Antwi-Adjei was the victim of a racist insult in the recent DFB-Pokal game against 1. FC Lok Leipzig. However, this incident did not seem to deter him from contributing to Schalke's victory.
After three games, Schalke 04 has six points, a improvement from their performance in the past two second-division seasons. The highlights of the game can be found on RTL.
Despite the win, Schalke 04 remains unbeaten at home in the second division, a testament to their strong form at their home ground. VfL Bochum will be hoping to find their winning ways in the upcoming matches.
