Tooor for SC Freiburg, 0:1 by Roland Sallai
The Freiburg tour out of nowhere!

Although TSG has three strikers, all three tend to be a bit backwards. This leads to the curious situation that not a single player is in the penalty area when space raises its head in front of a cross.

At the other end, Sallai was released by a direct contact on the right in the penalty area, but before he could shoot from 12 meters out, Raum poked his pick at the far left of his own goal for a corner.

Kadeřábek simply hits the ball high into the middle from the right-hand field. Kramarić is surprisingly free two yards left of the penalty spot, but he can’t put pressure behind the header into the right corner, allowing Flekken to pick up easily.

18:44
The ball runs a lot in the Freiburg three-man defense. Dabbur, Kramarić and Bebou attack it again, but there is rarely any real pressure.

18:41
A press ball on Freiburg’s right wing goes wide in front of the assistant. Both claim the throw-in, but Raum gets possession after his successful tackle. He clenches his fists and yells at the audience, Kübler, on the other hand, can’t believe it.

Kramarić too complicated! Somewhat surprisingly, the ball comes to him on the left because Gulde completely misjudges a high ball. The Croatian can move into the penalty area with a lot of space, but for some reason he throws across from 13 meters. In the middle, however, a Freiburg player is in front of Bebou. He has to bring that up as a striker.

That could count as a first shot on goal. A high cross comes from the left from 14 meters into the middle. Sallai keeps his skull clean, but the ball slides over his forehead and further towards the corner flag. He didn’t hit him.

In the first few minutes, both feel their way forward for the first time, but without taking any risks. Freiburg plays a little more on the outside, while Hoffenheim are always far ahead.

18:31
Here we go! The blue team from Hoffenheim hit the front right away and shifted the game into the attacking zone.
18:28
The players step onto the lawn and the important duel for the European places can start right away.
18:07
The Hoffenheim coach Sebastian Hoeneß, on the other hand, longs for the “liberation blow”. There is no longer any time to wait for points. In the “very, very important game” he therefore wants to win at all costs.
18:02
“You have to start well and close a lot of spaces in the middle.” This is Christian Streich’s match plan, who admits that he is always “tired” at the end of a season. But so are the other coaches.
17:58
In comparison, Streich also makes two changes: Gulde and Höler start in place of Jeong and Demirović. So everything points to a chain of three.
17:57
Freiburg’s mini series of three competitive wins in a row ended on the last day in a 3-3 win against Mönchengladbach. Only in added time did the Breisgauers concede the equalizer after having previously turned 0:2.
17:54
In comparison, there are two changes. Posch is suspended and is replaced by Kadeřábek. In addition, Bruun Larsen has to give way to Baumgartner on the bench.
17:52
Things are not going well at TSG at the moment either. Today’s hosts could not win the last six games, resulting in a measly three points. Recently there was a 2: 2 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
17:48
The duel has happened before in this stadium this season: Freiburg, who made it to the final, won 4-1 in the DFB Cup round of 16.
17:45
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, is in eighth place and can close the gap to Union Berlin, who could only play a draw yesterday. In the event of a defeat, however, the gap to the Köpenicker would be five points and to the Europa League places even six points with two games left.
17:42
For both teams it is about the international qualification. The SCF can even dream of the Champions League, also because Leverkusen and Leipzig only play on Monday. At least in the meantime you could overtake Leipzig with a win and take fourth place with Leverkusen on three points.
