Overview

• Preußen Münster beat Bochum 2:1, with Joshua Mees scoring in the 27th and 49th minutes after Philipp Hofmann had briefly leveled.
• Bochum have three points from four matches and sit 15th, as home fans booed following a largely chance-starved display.
• Sporting chief Dirk Dufner confirmed interest in a loan for Farid Alfa-Ruprecht, who was at the stadium and is under contract with Bayer Leverkusen through 2030 after joining from Manchester City this summer.
• A planned move for Yusuf Kabadayi from FC Augsburg fell through late after a veto by Bochum’s club bosses.
• Coach Dieter Hecking and goalkeeper Timo Horn pointed to a missing cutting edge in attack, and Bild reports the club is working to finalize Alfa-Ruprecht and target at least one additional forward before the deadline.
