Tooor for SC Freiburg, 2: 3 by Lucas Höler
Standard kings strike again! Shortly before the right corner flag, Günter circles a free kick perfectly into the far corner. Just under a meter from the line, Höler holds his head in the perfect cross and pushes over the line. Right in front of the guest block there is exuberant cheering.

Grifo moves from the left to the middle, but from 15 meters he snibbles too centrally on goal.

19:52
Höler has a good chance! A half-field cross from Günter’s left backcourt actually goes too far to the right, but the team-mate gets to the outside of the penalty area before the baseline. Volley is Sallai in the middle, where Höler goes in the ball. But he doesn’t hit the ball properly from four meters, so he slips over the slipper with his left hand and misses it on the left. That was really tight!
60
19:50
The game calms down a bit again, but without losing any of its excitement. The teams on both sides want more!
57
19:46
Bebou is sent down on the left half, but he takes too long in the penalty area. Lienhart blocks the right-footed shot. Dabbur reaches the corner from the left, but from five yards he’s too close to aim the volley accurately. He tiptoes past the left.
54
19:44
The game picked up speed due to the double strike, both teams came out of the dressing room awake and want the threesome.

Tooor for SC Freiburg, 2:2 by Christian Günter
The compensation falls immediately! There are just 94 seconds between the hits. The ball comes from the right into the center, where Grifo immediately puts it to the left. From about 20 meters Günter does not hesitate half left and pulls flat into the right corner. Although Baumann stretches, he can no longer steer the shot around the post on the wet lawn.
49
19:37
Tooor for 1899 Hoffenheim, 2: 1 by Angelo Stiller
Hoffenheim turns the game! Kramarić pulls into the middle from 20 meters on the left, attracting two defenders. But he finds the gap and sticks perfectly through to Stiller. Eleven meters in front of the goal, he has the space on the left and can use his full instep to flatten into the right corner. A great shooting technique after even better preliminary work.

Kick-off 2nd half
45
19:20
Mid-term conclusion:
With 1:1 it goes into the cabins. Somewhat surprisingly, SC Freiburg converted their first good chance through Sallai (23rd). After that, the guests developed some momentum, but despite a few actions around the penalty area, no further chance followed. Hoffenheim stabilized and played almost every attack down the left flank. The active area is therefore not by chance the preparer for Kramarić (32nd). Overall, however, the hosts are still a little too rarely in front of goal, even if the good phase after the goal lasted a little longer than on the other side. So it remains exciting in round two.
45
19:16
Grifo pulls the following free kick from a central 25 meters just over the bar in the right corner. But the shot took so long that Baumann would have been there.

Official stoppage time (minutes): 1

19:14
Yellow card for Diadie Samassekou (1899 Hoffenheim)
Schlotterbeck advances and is knocked over by Samassékou from 25 meters before he only has the defense in front of him.
42
19:13
The Hoffenheim momentum after the goal is slowly ebbing away. However, the audience in the arena was involved in the game during this phase.
39
19:09
The ball comes from the left into the backcourt, where it is then placed again on Baumgartner. But he then needs too long on the right in the penalty area, allowing Günter to approach. Under the resulting pressure, the Austrian misses to the right from 15 meters high.
37
19:08
It’s almost like only space can flank. Kadeřábek is on the right in the halffield, but he breaks off and hits the ball on the left wing, where Raum then crosses in from the backcourt at almost the same height.
36
19:06
This goal is the consequence of Hoffenheim’s pattern of playing more than every second attack on the left wing.
32
19:02
Tooor for 1899 Hoffenheim, 1: 1 by Andrej Kramarić
Kramarić equalizes! A high ball from the center gives space on the left wing a lot of space. He goes up to ten meters in front of the baseline and then gives half-height to the center. On the five, Kramarić holds his open right foot in the flank and thus crosses the line from a short distance in the short left corner. Hissing Gulde and Lienhart, the Hoffenheim captain snuck into a good position and then sprinted into the ball.
31
19:00
Grifo hits the near post from the left three corners in a row, but a head is always in the way.
28
18:59
The tour gives the guests a lot of lift. Whipped on by the guest block, it is now more and more energetic to go forward, especially Grifo wins a lot of dribbles via the left.
25
18:57
With the score, Freiburg jumped to a place in the Champions League because Leipzig didn’t play until Monday.
23
18:52
Tooor for SC Freiburg, 0:1 by Roland Sallai
The Freiburg tour out of nowhere! Shortly before Hoffenheim’s penalty area, there are five players in red and combine directly in the direction of the goal. Suddenly Höler gets the ball centrally on the sixteen line and only has one defender in front of him. He turns up and lays to the left to Sallai, who pushes the inside right into the right corner from 13 meters. It was quick and the guests were already leading!
20
18:50
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.
17
18:48
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.
16
18:47
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.
13
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.
10
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.
7
18:39
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.
5
18:36
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.
3
18:35
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.
1
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.
