Kramarić with a chance to equalize! Rudy passes a free kick from the deep right flank flat towards the penalty spot. The Croatian pulls off with his right hand at full speed. In the half-right corner, Kobel parries with his left foot.

16:46
Yellow card for Oliver Baumann (1899 Hoffenheim)
Baumann had every reason to complain, but of course his warning was valid even after the goal was withdrawn.
56
16:45
VAR decision: The goal by M. Wolf (Borussia Dortmund) is disallowed, score: 0:1
After a solid shot from Wolf at the end of a counterattack from the right, which finds its way into the right angle, BVB initially celebrates the supposed second goal. Because of a clear foul by Schlotterbeck on Bebou in the making, the referee took the goal back.
55
16:45
After the extremely strong final phase in the first round, BVB has lost the common thread and is initially challenged almost continuously in its own half. The next Bundesliga three is far from a sure thing.
52
16:44
… and there is neither a penalty nor a free kick, but possession of the ball for BVB! The referee subsequently judged Can’s attacking Akpoguma as legal and thus avoided the question of the crime scene.
51.
16:41
After Can’s foul on Akpoguma, which may have taken place on the penalty line or even in the sixteenth, referee Martin Petersen, who initially decided on a free kick, from VAR called to the review area…
49
16:39
Again the outsider manages a good start. After a low cross from the right in the center of the penalty area, Kramarić gets the ball and shoots from nine meters and from the turn into the right corner. Schlotterbeck stands in the way and blocks.
48
16:39
Neither Pellegrino Matarazzo nor Edin Terzić made any changes at half-time.
46
16:35
Welcome back to the second round in the PreZero Arena! TSG held up surprisingly well for 30 minutes in the third match under Pellegrino Matarazzo, but were then literally played against the wall by the in-form BVB. Accordingly, the narrow break disadvantage is even flattering. Will Hoffenheim return to the race for points after the change of sides or will BVB top the table with their seventh league win in a row?

Kick-off 2nd half

Mid-term conclusion:
Borussia Dortmund leads 1-0 at the break of the Bundesliga away game at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The Black-Yellows had their first good opportunity through Bynoe-Gittens in the fifth minute. Otherwise, the hosts balanced the balance of power in the initial phase and scraped a double chance from Baumgartner and Kabak (17th) each narrowly missing the lead. In the aftermath, the Matarazzo squad worked hard against the ball and was able to prevent the offensive skills of the in-form visiting team from developing for a long time. In the last quarter of an hour, however, BVB shifted up a gear, constricted TSG in their sixteen and missed two big chances through Haller (34′, 35′). After a number of other promising scenes in the home sixteen, Terzić’s team was rewarded with a goal from Brandt’s back and took the lead (43′). Reus (45th) and Wolf (45th + 2) could have added the second goal. See you soon!
45
16:17
Wolf with the next chance! After a short pass by Guerreiro, Brandt shifts from the left to the half-right edge of the box to the ex-Frankfurter, who can finish with the right inside instep at full speed. He doesn’t put the ball far over the right angle.
45
16:15
Official injury time (minutes): 3
Round one in Sinsheim should be extended by 180 seconds.
45
16:15
Reus slips past 0:2! Haller reaches the baseline from the right and fits flat in front of the box. Reus wants to complete the unguarded straddling, but misses the ball by a few centimeters from a short distance.
43
16:13
Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 0:1 by Julian Brandt
Dortmund forces the deserved lead before the break! Brandt misses Reus’ sharp free-kick cross from near the left corner of the penalty area with his head on the central edge of the five. After contact with the ex-Leverkusener’s upper back, the ball still finds its way into the far corner.
42
16:12
Can tries a powerful shot from the middle of 22 meters with the right instep. He rushes unplaced to the home box, but has so much speed that Baumann can only raise his arms and save to the corner.
41
16:10
The Westphalians are pushing with all their might for the lead gate in front of the cabin aisle. Hoffenheim can still free themselves in the meantime and for the time being is only struggling to make it into half-time without conceding a goal.
39
16:09
BVB’s next shots! After a one-two with Reus, Guerreiro got stuck with an attempt from 15 meters inside Bičakčić. Moments later, Süle thunders the ball over the right angle from a half-right 18 meters.
36
16:04
Rudy from the second row! The ex-national player appears in the middle of the last black and yellow line and aims at the flat right corner from 19 meters with his right instep. He only misses it by a hair’s breadth; Kobel would have been powerless.
35
16:04
… and it has it all! Brandt’s corner kick from the right extends Schlotterbeck from the penalty spot in front of the left post. Haller quick-wittedly holds out his right thigh, but again finds his master in Baumann, who parries great again.
34
16:04
Haller demands Baumann everything away! The Ivorian maintained possession of the ball after a high cross from Wolf from the right at the penalty spot against three blue and whites. He shoots at the half-height right corner with his left foot. Baumann dives quickly and saves at the cost of a corner…
31
16:01
Bičakčić is preferred to winter signing Brooks, making his fourth league appearance this season. He now forms the back three together with Akpoguma and Vogt.

Ermin Bičakčić comes on at 1899 Hoffenheim

Substitution at 1899 Hoffenheim: Ozan Kabak
27
15:57
Yellow card for Ozan Kabak (1899 Hoffenheim)
After a volleyball on Hoffenheim’s half-right offensive side, Kabak missed the game device with his tackle and only hit guest captain Reus. Not only does Turkey receive a yellow card; he also injured his left ankle while boarding and cannot continue.
26
15:56
Angeliño crosses from the left wing with a lot of spin behind the black and yellow defensive line. The addressed Kramaríc has no chance of processing, because BVB keeper Kobel advanced in time and plucked the ball out of the air at the penalty spot.
23
15:52
The Terzić selection has so far lacked the necessary pass security to consistently cover the high start-up of the Kraichgauer. Again and again she gives the ball before the center line and gets into trouble.
20
3:50 p.m
Schlotterbeck on the other side! Süle nods the ball after a Brandt corner from the right from the penalty spot to the half-right edge of the five. Schlotterbeck reaches the preparatory work with his forehead, but heads past the near corner uncontrollably.
17
15:47
Nearly the lead for Hoffenheim! After a cross from the right and a header from Kabak, Baumgartner tries to poke the ball into the net from a good six meters under pressure, but gets stuck on Kobel. Kabak heads in from two meters, but nods over the goal with a strong reserve.
14
15:44
In the aftermath of a corner, TSG put a first urge onto the pitch, but missed contacts in positions ready for a goal after almost a quarter of an hour. BVB goalkeeper Kobel is still waiting for his first real test.
11.
15:40
Reus takes measurements! As a result of a short execution of a corner from the right flag, the ex-Mönchengladbacher appears on the middle edge of the sixteen and shoots with the right inside instep in the direction of the left corner. The ball sails deflected into the left goal. The following two corners bring the guest nothing.
8th.
15:37
The Matarazzo selection recorded slight ball possession and field advantages in the early minutes, but did not achieve anything in and in the opposing penalty area. BVB is still looking for access when working against the ball.
5.
15:34
BVB has the first chance! Captain Reus drives the ball over the half-left offensive corridor to the sixteen and sticks steeply through to Bynoe-Gittens. He shoots the short corner with the second contact from a good nine meters. There Baumann parries with a strong reflex.
3.
15:34
The afternoon in Sinsheim begins with a curious incident: although a Hoffenheim free kick slipped through from the right wing has not yet crossed the left baseline, the responsible ball boy runs onto the field and simply passes the ball back in the direction of the Dortmund box. It continues with a dropped ball.
1.
15:30
Hoffenheim versus Dortmund – Bundesliga Saturday in the PreZero Arena has begun!
15:28
A few moments ago, the 22 main actors left the catacombs for the lawn.
14:58
In the Westphalians, who won the first leg at Signal-Iduna-Park in early September thanks to a goal by Captain Reus (16th) and who have already scored four goals from standard situations after the winter break, coach Edin Terzić is after the 4-1 home win against Hertha BSC five times. Instead of Hummels, Özcan, Malen (all on the bench), Ryerson (eye injury) and Adeyemi (torn thigh muscle), Süle, Guerreiro, Bellingham, Bynoe-Gittes and Haller start.
14:54
On the side of the Kraichgau, who are the second weakest home team in the German football league with eleven points and who could slip to a direct relegation zone in the event of another defeat this afternoon, coach Pellegrino Matarazzo has compared to the 0-1 away defeat at FC Augsburg made three personnel changes. Akpoguma, Rudy and Kramarić edge Brooks, Delaney and Dolberg onto the bench.
14:48
Borussia Dortmund is the complete opposite of today’s host in the 2023 calendar year, as the black and yellow were able to successfully make all eight competitive appearances after the long winter break. While they made it into the DFB Cup round of 16 and got a good starting position for the second leg of the Champions League at Chelsea FC, they made up nine points in the Bundesliga over leaders FC Bayern Munich and can claim their first championship in eleven years create again on your own.
14:38
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim has been stumbling towards the relegation zone for four months and has not been able to stop the negative series, which now consists of ten games without a win, even under the successor of Pellegrino Matarazzo. As a result of the 1:3 home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, the blue and whites had to admit defeat at FC Augsburg by conceding a goal in the 88th minute – meanwhile only the better goal difference separates them from the relegation place.
14:30
A warm welcome to the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon! On matchday 22, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim will challenge Borussia from Dortmund, who are aiming for the top of the table. Troubled Kraichgauers and in-form Westphalians will face each other on the lawn of the PreZero Arena from 3:30 p.m.
