Overview
- In a well-filled Ruhrstadion, VfL Bochum staged an official farewell match for Anthony "Toto" Losilla following his retirement in May.
- Play was halted in the eighth minute for a surprise: Losilla’s family unveiled a Legendensäule bearing his name and image at the stadium.
- Losilla featured for both tribute sides, playing one half for "Toto Allstars" under Thomas Reis and Thomas Eisfeld and one half for "Toto Friends" led by Peter Neururer and Frank Heinemann.
- A large group of former teammates took part, including Simon Zoller, Robert Tesche, Cristian Gamboa and others, with ex-keeper Manuel Riemann lining up at striker and scoring from long range.
- After ending his playing career post-relegation, Losilla continues at VfL as a co-trainer focused on youth development, with former colleagues sharing personal tributes ahead of the event.
