BOCHUM, Nov 17 (SW) - Bochum claimed a crazy win in the Bundesliga on Friday as they came from two down and then held on to beat 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt by a 4-3 scoreline.

Albert Streit scored twice within the first five minutes of the match to give visiting Frankfurt an early 2-0 lead, but the match turned around in the 28th minute when Aleksandar Vasoski was sent off after conceding a penalty to Bochum.

Zvjezdan Misimovic then stepped up to the penalty spot and pulled Bochum back within a goal before they turned on the presure and quickly captured the lead.

Marcel Maltritz scored in the 33rd minute to level the score at 2-2 before Heiko Butscher snatched the lead for the home side five minutes later.

Theofanis Gekas made it 4-2 to Bochum just two minutes after the restart as they looked like they would continue their dominance, but Ioannis Amanatidis pulled one back for Frankfurt in the 56th minute to make it a game.

Bochum, though, resisted and held out to preserve the lead and claim a valuable three points at home.
