2. Bundesliga: Grimaldi's Stoppage-Time Header Lifts Nürnberg Past Bochum for First Win

The result eases pressure on Miroslav Klose after a winless start.

Overview

  • Julian Justvan opened the scoring in the 68th minute, Ibrahim Sissoko equalized from the penalty spot in the 87th, and Adriano Grimaldi won it with a 90+2 header.
  • A Fabio Gruber header that would have given Nürnberg an earlier lead was overturned for a razor-thin offside after video review using the league’s new semi-automated system.
  • The win moved Nürnberg off last place and ended a 188-day wait for a home victory.
  • Bochum’s defeat came in interim coach David Siebers’ debut following the departures of Dieter Hecking and Dirk Dufner and extended the team’s losing streak to four.
  • The high-interest relegation fight was broadcast free-to-air on RTL with streaming available on RTL+, Sky/Go and WOW.
