Bochum beat Eintracht Frankfurt II 4:0 on Sunday in the third round of the 2. Bundesliga women's regular season. The result leaves the hosts four points clear at the top of the table after winning all their opening matches. Frankfurt II remain at the bottom, having lost every game they have played so far.
What stood out was the gap between the two sides from the first whistle. Bochum moved with purpose and control, while their visitors struggled to find any rhythm. The hosts did not let the tie slip, and Frankfurt II could not respond when they needed to.
Recent form tells a similar story. Bochum have won their last two league fixtures, including a 2:1 victory over Viktoria Berlin and a 3:0 win against Hertha Berlin Women. Frankfurt II, meanwhile, have picked up nothing from their last four competitive matches, with losses to Ingolstadt and SG Essen among them.
The table goes out of the window in these games, but the difference in confidence is visible. Bochum are unbeaten in five across all competitions, while their opponents have fallen apart after every opener they have faced this season.
This result extends Bochum's perfect start to twelve points from four games. Frankfurt II stay on zero, fourteen points adrift of the leaders after three rounds. The gap is already substantial, and the hosts will hope to keep building momentum.
