Overview

• Kaiserslautern beat Bochum 3:2 before 48,155 fans as Ivan Prtajin scored twice, preserving four wins from four home games this season and six straight at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion.
• A substitution mix-up briefly sent Prtajin off before he returned to play, which coach Torsten Lieberknecht described as a communication error before completing the swap on the second attempt.
• Bochum slumped to a sixth consecutive defeat days after presenting Uwe Rösler as head coach, leaving the recent Bundesliga relegates under immediate pressure to halt the slide.
• Chemnitzer FC drew 2:2 with Eilenburg after Dejan Bozic was sent off in the 64th minute and William Kallenbach struck in stoppage time, with unclear TV images fueling debate over the red card as coach Benjamin Duda vowed a hard review.
• Dynamo Dresden and Karlsruher SC finished 3:3 after Jakob Lemmer’s late equalizer, keeping KSC on 15 points and setting up an Oct. 18 derby against Kaiserslautern following the international break.
