Half-time conclusion
Dortmund goes into the break with a 1-0 lead against Hoffenheim. At the start of the game, Hoffenheim was the better team. After less than two minutes, Berisha should have taken the lead. After that, Hoffenheim initially had the ball a lot, but as the playing time increased, BVB became more and more dominant. The picture changed in that the guests now played on the counterattack. Dortmund created some good chances to score. But there was always a lack of accuracy in the penalty area. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim also had a few good opportunities themselves. The 1-0 win by Reus in the 43rd minute was long overdue. It could have been 3-2 at halftime.

Great for Borussia Dortmund, 1-0 by Marco Reus
That’s where it happened! BVB takes the lead. First Brandt plays a nice side switch to Reyna on the left wing. Then the American sends Bynoe-Gittens to the baseline in the penalty area. This scene has happened several times today, but this time Bynoe-Gitten’s cross pass in front of the goal finds a taker. Reus takes the ball from an eight-meter central position with his left. He shoots himself against the supporting leg, causing the ball to go into the top right of the goal, unstoppable for Baumann.

30′
6:30 p.m
The Hoffenheim team always go into duels quite aggressively. Osmers is still without a yellow card, but he shouldn’t overuse it. There were already fouls worth yellowing.

Big opportunity for BVB! Reus goes into the penalty area on the right and shoots. Baumann blocks the shot in the middle. Moukoko is there. However, the striker cannot finish straight away because an opponent is in his way. He puts the ball to the left again and wants to shoot, but Bynoe-Gittens hinders him. In the end the angle becomes too acute, so Moukoko’s shot is blocked by a defender.

2′
6:03 p.m
That has to be 1-0 for Hoffenheim! Dortmund do not get the ball cleared properly after a low cross from the left. This gives Bebou the chance. He shoots with his right from ten meters. Kobel parries the hard shot. The ball flies directly to Berisha’s feet, who shoots from five meters towards the “empty” goal. Only Schlotterbeck stands in the way of a 1-0 win for Hoffenheim. The defender defends the ball with his chest.
17:22
Pellegrino Matarazzo makes four changes at Hoffenheim compared to the win against Stuttgart. Stach, Bebou, Berisha and Bülter start instead of Grillitsch, Kadeřábek, Skov and Bischof.

About the personnel: Compared to the 3-3 draw against Frankfurt, Edin Terzić changed in five positions. Moukoko, Süle, Ryerson, Brandt and Bynoe-Gittens start instead of Füllkrug, Hummels, Bensebaini, Sabitzer and Malen.
5:13 p.m
Today’s opponents from Hoffenheim have an even weaker goal difference than Dortmund. With 20 goals to 16, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team has already scored 18 points and is in sixth place. It’s been a lot of ups and downs in the league recently: in the last four games there have been two wins and two defeats. At the end of September, 1899 lost 1:3 against BVB. Most recently, the Kraichgauer team stopped VfB Stuttgart from flying high on Saturday. Hoffenheim won 3-2 and inflicted VfB’s first defeat since August 25th. Anything is possible at TSG at the moment.
5:07 p.m
BVB has been unbeaten in seven competitive games. Most recently there was a wild 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. It was another Dortmund game in which the black and yellow were not completely convincing, but still scored points in the end. Edin Terzić’s team is playing very result-oriented this season. Dortmund has by far the weakest goal difference among the top clubs in the Bundesliga. While Leipzig (plus 18), Bayern (plus 27) and Leverkusen (plus 19) are all clearly positive, BVB is at plus 9.
5:06 p.m
Hello and welcome to the 2nd round of the DFB Cup. Today at 6:00 p.m. Borussia Dortmund meets TSG Hoffenheim.
