Cologne wins to fight off relegation

Zoran Tosic scored both goals Friday as Cologne beat Bochum 2-0 to all but make sure of avoiding relegation in the Bundesliga.

Bochum is without a win in nine games and remained one point above the relegation zone. It could drop into it when the 31st round is completed over the weekend.

Tosic picked up a long pass, broke free and rounded Bochum's goalkeeper Philipp Heerwagen to slot home from a sharp angle in the 15th minute.

The Serbia international, who is on loan from Manchester United, sealed Cologne's third home victory of the season - and the first since December - with a superb finish after swapping passes with Lukas Podolski in the 77th.
