At the right corner flag, Majer is ready for a dead ball. But in the end this brings in nothing.
61.
16:57
The 1:1 wasn’t necessarily announced, but the Wolves managed to steal the edge from their opponents in the second half. Now we have a completely open box here.

Tooor for VfL Wolfsburg, 1:1 by Lovro Majer
The new man takes pictures straight away! Wind asserts himself technically well on the right wing, then passes to Svanberg. Behrens places his flat cross on the half-right side of the sixteen-yard box for Majer. From 14 meters he flicks the ball into the far corner with his left foot.

Yellow card for Ozan Kabak (1899 Hoffenheim)

16:51
Two changes for the North Germans. Baku comes in for Mæhle, and Vranckx also has to be replaced due to injury. He leaves the lawn with a bandaged thigh and Majer steps back onto it.

On the left, Rogério has plenty of time to cross. His cross slips through friend and foe, then Vranckx commits an offensive foul.
49.
16:43
The second round starts a little quieter than its predecessor. Nevertheless, it can be seen that VfL is trying to gain a little more possession of the ball.

Things continue with personnel changes for the home team. Svanberg takes over for Černý.

Kick-off of the 2nd half
45.+5
16:28
Half-time conclusion:
Break between Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim, the guests lead 1-0. They got off to a real lightning start when Beier’s fine individual action from Tohumcu’s pass was rewarded with a goal. As a result, they kept the pressure on before the Wolves slowly found their way into the match. Until the half-time whistle, both teams missed several good opportunities to score. At TSG it was mainly Kramarić and Weghorst, while Lower Saxony could have scored the equalizer through wind. Overall, the lead for the Sinsheimers is okay, although the Autostädters should by no means be written off here. It remains exciting, see you soon!
45.+5
16:23
End of 1st half
45.+4
16:22
Directly back to the other side: Weghorst pushes a free kick cross from the right half of the field with his head from ten meters towards the goal. Casteels defends for a corner, which ultimately fizzles out.
45.+3
16:21
Wind misses the next opportunity. The striker nods a Paredes cross from the left eight meters over from half-right.
45.+2
16:21
…Kramarić direct attempt rushes past the right corner of the goal.
45.+1
16:19
In a similar position to the one from which Stach just shot, Tohumcu now takes a free kick…

16:19
Official added time (minutes): 4
43.
16:17
Sting! The former Mainz player tries his luck from 18 meters in the middle. In the end, the ball lands on the roof of the goal.
40.
16:13
On the right wing there was a misunderstanding between Mæhle and Černý, so the Blue-Whites threw in. The first small whistles come from the audience.
37.
16:11
On the left side of the box, Kramarić passes it off to Beier. His shot from 15 meters from the inside flies clear over the box to the right.
35.
16:07
Now we can continue.
34.
16:07
Strips of paper and other objects have been flying onto the field for two minutes. Everything is being hauled off the pitch with buckets and leaf blowers, so the game has just been interrupted.
31.
16:04
Always wind! This time Paredes prepares from the left for the attacker, who is only the second winner from 14 meters from half left against Baumann.
30.
16:03
It goes up and down. Černý finds Mæhle, who is starting on the baseline, with a through pass through the right half-space. Wind takes the flat back pass directly from twelve meters, but Baumann parries with his feet. Before that, Mæhle was also offside.
27.
4:00 p.m
The other side again. Tohumcu sends Beier to the left into the penalty area, who in turn passes it flat into the half area. Kramarić takes it straight away, but throws the marble over it.
26.
3:59 p.m
Wolfsburg’s new signing registers. When a counterattack was played quickly, Vranckx put Behrens through on the half-right. From ten meters from the right he fails in the short corner to Baumann.
25.
15:58
Weghorst claps for Kramarić with his back to the goal. His left-footed shot from 18 meters from a central position deflected into the arms of Casteels.
23.
15:57
Maybe this attack will help the Kovač team develop even more courage going forward. The people of Sinsheim are also vulnerable.
20.
15:53
…that’s not bad either – Bornauw’s header from six meters from half-left whizzes over.
19.
15:53
And suddenly Wind hits the post! The Dane initially initiates the game by passing to Paredes to the left in the box. Černý cleverly lets the wind through his flat pass towards the penalty spot. From the turn, the attacker peppers the ball onto the right post. Then Hoffenheim clears for a corner…
18.
15:52
The guests are currently generating a lot of ball possession. With longer passing relays, they ensure that Wolfsburg has to run a lot.
15.
3:48 p.m
Hoffenheim coach Matarazzo should be happy with the start of his team. She plays forward quickly and has already scored a goal. The only drawback: the Wolves keep coming up with promising crosses. They are not yet well prevented,
12.
3:46 p.m
Kramarić! The attacker appears nine meters in front of the opponent’s box after a flat pass from the right wing. However, when he was in a good shooting position, he missed the ball and failed to finish.
9.
15:43
VfL would like to respond quickly. Rogério in particular always creates offensive moments on the left side with his crosses.
6.
3:39 p.m
Tooor for 1899 Hoffenheim, 0-1 by Maximilian Beier
In 1899 we are in the front by two revolutions of the hand! Tohumcu serves Beier with a good pass from the kickoff circle in the half-left attack lane. The 21-year-old wobbles Bornauw in the sixteen-yard box before shooting from eleven meters into the far corner from the left.
4.
3:38 p.m
Double chance TSG! First, Beier missed a flat cross from Stach from the right side in the six-yard box. A little later, Weghorst nods a high Kadeřábek cross from the right eight meters over.
3.
3:36 p.m
Numerous whistles sound around the Volkswagen Arena. The fans are expressing their dissatisfaction with the DFB’s investor involvement. There can therefore be no question of a good atmosphere.

Here we go.

Game start
3:10 p.m
The Kraichgauers, who are currently listed two places ahead of Lower Saxony, are also aiming for this. If we were to win today, we would have 28 points, which would reduce the gap to Eintracht Frankfurt in sixth place to three points. However, the trend among Baden-Württemberg residents is even more worrying than among North Germans. Since the beginning of December (3-1 against VfL Bochum) there have been a whopping three defeats and only two draws in five Bundesliga games. Here too it is time for a liberation.
14:51
Things just aren’t going well for the wolves. They haven’t been able to get a single win in the new year. Instead, there were only draws against supposedly weaker opponents or basement children (1:1 at 1. FSV Mainz 05, at home against 1. FC Heidenheim and most recently at 1. FC Köln). In the table, this means that they are in eleventh place in the no-man’s land of the table. Sixth place is already nine points short, the lead over 16th place is seven. So that nothing else happens downwards, we should have another threesome today.
