TSG Hoffenheim TSG Hoffenheim - VFB Stuttgart VfB Stuttgart

Stuttgart give the ball away cheaply inside their own half and Tabaković is able to charge at the away side's defence. He has options to his left but opts to shoot from range and it's blocked away to safety.

Hoffenheim break forward and the ball is worked to the right side of the Stuttgart box, where Orban takes a touch inside his marker ands curls an effort beyond Nübel into the top corner of the net. Superb finish from the Nigerian.

Two fantastic stops in a row from the goalkeeper. The first denies Undav from a tight angle, before Woltemade is kept out from point-blank range. Where would Hoffenheim be without Philipp in this match?

Neat play down Stuttgart's right flank sees Bischof play Stach in behind the defence. The midfielder attempts a backheel into the area but it's blocked by a defender. It's just that final pass that might cost Hoffenheim points from this match.

The Hoffenheim stopper comes to gather a corner, misses it and then catches the resulting cross back into the box.

The hosts have come out strongly. Stach is sent charging through behind the Stuttgart defence but it's just out of reach and Nübel gathers.

Undav is caught in possession in his own half and Hoffenheim launch forward. After a string of passes, Bülter smashes one from distance and it cannons into Jeltsch's face. The defender goes down in a heap and needs medical attention. The game is paused for a moment while this takes place.

Perhaps in frustration more than anything, Bischof hacks down Stiller in midfield and gives away a free kick. The referee gives the youngster a stern warning.

Mittelstädt pings a long diagonal to Undav, on the right of the Hoffenheim box. The striker cuts it back to an unmarked Karazor, who fires across goal. Philipp is equal to it, tipping it on to the left post. It soon comes back, with Woltemade carrying into the box and shooting again – Phillipp denies him again. A goalmouth scramble ends with the ball being cleared. Incredible reactions from the 'keeper.

Every time Hoffenheim win the ball back and advance into Stuttgart's half, they're quickly dispossessed and placed on the back foot again.

Going a goal behind has shaken Hoffenheim awake. Bülter and Stach have shooting chances in quick succession, though both are blocked.
