Bochum goalkeeper Andreas Luthe has ended his career after helping the club stay in the Bundesliga in a penalty shoout-out victory against Fortuna Düsseldorf. "This was my last game in professional football. I will not renew [the contract]," Luthe told broadcasters Sat.1 late Monday. Luthe, 34, had returned to Bochum as reserve keeper in January and was between the posts in the play-off tie against Düsseldorf because first choice Manuel Riemann was dropped for internal reasons. He saved a penalty from Andre Hoffmann in the shoot-out after Bochum had fought back from a 3-0 home defeat in the fi...

Fortuna Düsseldorf coach Daniel Thioune said his team remains calm ahead of the possible promotion to the Bundesliga. "The external euphoria is normal. But to our inner circle is relatively clear that the euphoria is misplaced and not a companion of ours," Thioune said in a news conference on Sunday. Düsseldorf host Bundesliga side VfL Bochum on Monday for the second leg of their promotion/relegation tie and have a 3-0 advantage from the first game. "Bochum will not play restrained football. We're prepared for that - we showed that in Bochum. Our players are able to adapt quickly," Thioune sai...

Fortuna Düsseldorf go into the Bundesliga promotion/relegation play-off tie with Bochum in a confident mood and hope to have history on their side. Düsseldorf finished third in the second division and will face the Bundesliga's 16th-place finishers Bochum away on Thursday and at home the following Monday. Düsseldorf are among only three second-tier sides to prevail in the 15 play-off ties since they were re-introduced in 2009, in 2012 against Hertha Berlin. "We know Bochum well, it's almost a neighbourhood duel," captain Andre Hoffmann said on the club website. "These will be two very close ga...

Bochum defender Felix Passlack has been banned for one match over a red card offence and will miss their final Bundesliga match of the season at Werder Bremen. Passlack was sent off in Bochum's 5-0 home defeat against champions Bayer Leverkusen for a last-man foul against Nathan Tella. The control committee of the German Football Federation (DFB) originally wanted him banned for two games but Bochum appealed and the DFB sports court imposed a one-game ban on Tuesday. Bochum are 14th but depending on other results could slip into the relegation play-off spot if they don't get a point in Bremen.

Bochum squandered a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw with bottom club Darmstadt a week ago and lost in Cologne on Saturday from a pair of stoppage time goals. "We haven't managed to have stability in the long term and make the la...
