Cacau and Ciprian Marica helped Stuttgart to a 2-0 win over Bochum to go level on points with fifth-placed Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

Brazilian striker Cacau was an attacking threat from the outset and he gave the visitors the lead after 14 minutes when he slotted home from close range.

Four minutes later Marica sealed matters with a right-footed shot to make it 2-0.

The result saw Stuttgart close to within a point of third-spotted Werder Bremen in the Champions League qualifying berth ahead of the remaining weekend games, but left Bochum still hovering perilously close to the relegation zone.
