The same minute brought the first booking of the match, with Bochum’s Cajetan Lenz shown a yellow card. After an early substitution saw Leandro Morgalla replace Maximilian Wittek for Bochum in the 37th minute, the visitors reshuffled further at half-time, introducing Callum Marshall and Mats Pannewig. Marshall himself went into the referee’s book in the 50th minute, along with Bielefeld’s Stefano Russo in a separate incident.

Bochum’s pressure after the break was eventually rewarded. In the 79th minute, second-half substitute Kwarteng, who had just come on for Gerrit Holtmann, levelled the score with a regular-play goal. He was set up by another substitute, Farid Alfa-Ruprecht, making the Bochum bench decisive in salvaging a point.

Bielefeld responded with a series of substitutions, including the withdrawal of goalscorer Grodowski for Marius Wörl in the 71st minute, but they were unable to restore their advantage in the closing stages.

The match finished 1–1, leaving both sides to settle for a point in the late stages of the regular season. Detailed statistics such as shots, possession figures, line-ups and attendance are not available in the current data set.
