# Eintracht Frankfurt Defeats VfL Bochum 2-0: Kostić Assists Twice, Kamada Scores to Move Away from Relegation Zone
Eintracht Frankfurt secured a crucial 2-0 victory over VfL Bochum in a match that saw key contributions from both sides. The game, which took place at Deutsche Bank Park, was significant for Frankfurt as they aim to climb the league table, while Bochum fought to maintain their hopes of avoiding relegation.
The first half was dominated by Frankfurt, who capitalized on Bochum’s defensive vulnerabilities. The visitors struggled to create chances, but Frankfurt’s clinical efficiency told. The first goal came in the 21st minute when Kamada, who has been inconsistent this season, fired a low shot past Bochum’s goalkeeper. The goal was a much-needed boost for Kamada, who has faced criticism for his performances lately.
Bochum, despite their defensive issues, kept the game competitive. Their best chance came in the 35th minute when a well-worked move resulted in a shot on target, but the goalkeeper saved it. Frankfurt doubled their lead just before halftime through a second goal, this time thanks to Kostić’s cross that found Kamada, who slotted it home. Kamada’s second goal of the season was a pivotal moment, as it moved him closer to solidifying his place in the team.
Kostić, who has been instrumental in Frankfurt’s recent form, played a pivotal role in both goals. He provided two assists, showcasing his playmaking skills. His presence in the final third was a constant threat, and his ability to read the game allowed Frankfurt to control the tempo.
Despite the defeat, Bochum will take pride in their performance. The match was a tough one for the visitors, but they can take encouragement from their fighting spirit. However, the result leaves them in a precarious position at the bottom of the table, and they will need to improve defensively in their next games.
For Frankfurt, this victory is a step in the right direction as they look to secure European qualification and move away from the relegation zone. Kamada’s resurgence in form will be a boost to the team, and Kostić’s creativity continues to be a key asset.
The match ended with a 2-0 scoreline, but the real winner was Frankfurt’s ability to take advantage of Bochum’s weaknesses. Both teams now look forward to their next fixtures, with Frankfurt facing RB Leipzig and Bochum aiming to bounce back against Union Berlin.
