Should the record champion lose against VfB Stuttgart after his party trip to Ibiza on Sunday (5:30 p.m./ dazn), the renewed fall of the East Westphalia into the second class would no longer be prevented before the season finale.

"We hope that Bayern will give us a little bit of protection. If we still have the chance next week, everything is still possible," said Bielefeld's midfielder Patrick Wimmer at dazn: "It was again a combative power. But we are missing that today Efficiency. That is why we are back without points. "

Captain Manuel Prietl added: "At the moment I am a bit speechless. We were doing a lot, that would have been the opener for the relegation. We keep the game open for a long time, come back into play with a standard, but have too little punch forward. It is simply bitter and disappointing. We are now dependent on others. We have to win, that's the last straw we have. You always have to hold out until the last match day. We have to all be over again Mobilize forces. "

Joakim Nilsson (35th) in the meantime equalized for the Arminia to 1-1. But an own goal of George Bello (89th) sealed the 16th defeat. The gap to the table-16. Stuttgart continues to be two points. Even a victory in the last game against RB Leipzig would only be enough if VfB runs empty. Due to the Bielefeld defeat, it is also clear that Hertha BSC can no longer descend directly.

Sebastian Polter (22nd) had put the already saved Bochum in the lead. A week after the 4: 3 triumph at Borussia Dortmund and the rushing celebration for relegation, VfL said goodbye to eleven players, whose contracts expire.

"I am sure that one or the other who gets a bouquet of flowers today will also play here next season," said sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz at dazn: "The talks are underway."

Bielefeld: Where was the unconditional will to win?

There was nothing to be seen from a Bochum hangover after the party. The hosts started aggressively and committed. At first, Polter failed to Bielefeld's keeper Stefan Ortega (2nd), then Gerrit Holtmann put a header from five meters just over the goal (3rd).

The Arminia, which would like to have the planning security of VfL, held back. Coach Marco Kostmann had announced that it did not "go from the first minute all-in", but "to increase the risk with increasing season". Bochum continued to have the clear chances: Ortega fended off two shots from Milos Pantovic with brilliant parades (13th/15th). Only behind the line did the goalkeeper Polter's header caught the Pantovic flank.

The guests rarely appeared near the Bochum penalty area. A long-range shot from Masaya Okugawa in the arms of VfL keeper Manuel Riemann was the first approach (33.). The equalization is all the more surprising: after a free kick from Gonzalo Castro, Nilsson hit his head completely freely.

After the change of sides, the Bielefelders initially acted further. There was little to see from the absolute will to win. The hosts continued to have more of the game - and were rewarded shortly before the end.
