Bochum sensationally overcame a 3-0 Bundesliga relegation play-off first-leg defeat to retain their place in the top flight, doing so 6-5 on penalties after a 3-0 victory over Fortuna Dusseldorf, who will stay in the second division after a six-match winning streak at home came to an end.

A three-goal first-leg deficit had never previously been overcome in a Bundesliga relegation play-off tie, but Bochum set about assailing that with an opener inside 20 minutes.
