**Eintracht Frankfurt Dominates VfL Bochum in Crucial Win**

**Eintracht Frankfurt** delivered a strong performance to secure a 2-0 victory over **VfL Bochum** in a Bundesliga clash that moved them further away from the relegation zone. The match, played at **Deutsche Bank Park**, was a crucial one for both sides, but it was Frankfurt who emerged victorious with a composed display.

The scoreline was set by two well-taken goals, both netted by Frankfurt players. **Croatian international Ante Kostić** opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a clinical finish, slotting the ball into the bottom-left corner after a neat pass from **Milen Bažović**. Kostić, who has been in impressive form recently, doubled his tally in the 55th minute with a powerful strike from outside the box, leaving the Bochum goalkeeper **Paulo Gomes** with no chance.

Bochum, who were aiming for a much-needed three points to climb out of the relegation zone, struggled to create chances. Their best opportunity came in the 35th minute when **Edimilson Bundi** tested Frankfurt’s goalkeeper **Evan Hilp** with a long-range shot, but the young goalkeeper stood firm.

The win extends Frankfurt’s unbeaten run to five games and keeps them in the hunt for a top-half finish in the Bundesliga. Head coach **Heiko Herrmann** praised his side’s resilience and ability to adapt to Bochum’s defensive pressure. “We showed great character today,” Herrmann said. “We controlled the game and capitalized on our chances. Kostić and Kamada were instrumental, and I’m proud of the whole team effort.”

For Bochum, the loss is a blow as they prepare for a tough schedule, with upcoming fixtures against **RB Leipzig** and **Bayern Munich**. Manager **Thomas Reul** admitted his side had struggled to break down a well-organized Frankfurt defense. “We need to work on our finishing in front of goal,” Reul said. “Frankfurt’s defensive solidity was the difference today, and we’ll need to address that in our next games.”

With this result, Frankfurt moves up to 10th place in the Bundesliga table, while Bochum drops to 15th. Both teams will have their work cut out in the coming weeks, but for now, it’s Frankfurt who are riding high after a performance that oozed confidence and composure.
