Full-time: Hoffenheim 0-1 Union

The visitors pick up only their second away win of this Bundesliga season thanks to substitute Brenden Aaronson's clean finish from Yorbe Vertessen's cut back. Both sides were reduced to ten men when Stanley Nsoki and Kevin Volland saw second yellow cards but the visitors won't be thinking too much about that as their season revival sees them up to 12th place in the standings.

Union hit the post again!

That's the second time Union have hit the woodwork. Josip Juranović's free kick takes a big deflection and the ball ends up thwacking off the upright.

Super sub Aaronson!

USMNT international Brendan Aaronson may just have won it for Union! The super sub takes one touch inside the box before cutting a clean finish back across the goalkeeper and into the corner of the Hoffenheim goal.

Tidy from Beier

A super through pass from Weghorst allows Maximilian Beier to race through on the Union goal. The 21-year-old shows a cute step-on-the-ball, spinning trick to leave his marker for dead before shooting narrowly wide. That was all very pleasing on the eye.

Half-time: Hoffenheim 0-0 Union

No goals but plenty of incident in Sinsheim with both teams finding the woodwork and then reduced to ten men later in the half when Stanley Nsoki and Kevin Volland both received second yellows.

Volland sent off!

Scenes in Sinsheim! This is incredible. Shortly after Nsoki saw red for a second bookable offence, Volland has now been sent off for his second booking following a late challenge on Kramarić! Unbelievable.

Nsoki sent off

Nsoki and Volland have been involved in some serious back and forth for the past minutes and after the pair were eventually separated and booked, the former goes in on the Union forward again from a long ball. Volland drops to the floor, Nsoki is shown a second yellow and ordered off. That's all a bit silly from the Hoffenheim player.

No go Gosens

Robin Gosens pops up at the back post to tap into the empty net but there was an offside in the build-up and that won't count.

Prömel hurt

Grischa Prömel has picked up an injury and can't continue here and the former Union player is replaced by Wout Weghorst for Hoffenheim.

Union hit the woodwork

After Hoffenheim had struck a post earlier in the game, now it's Union's turn to crack one off the upright with Hollerbach the man whose neat, low strike just failed to go in.

Khedira injured

Poor Rani Khedira's game is already over after the visiting captain had his foot stepped on in that move that saw Bebou hit the post. Khedira - who has had his injury problems this season - limps out of the contest with Alex Král entering the game.

TSG hit the post!

Almost the perfect start for the hosts as Bebou initially sees a shot saved before sending the follow-up against the upright. That's got the crowd going early on.

Bjelica's view on Hoffenheim

"Hoffenheim are a very good team who definitely want to get a result at home. We want to stand up against that and take our chance to also get something away from home. After a very good week of training, a number of players have returned, so we want to take this positive energy into this away game."

Matarazzo's view on Union

"They didn't start the season well but have solidified under their new coach. Union defend with passion and resolutely, then look to counter and use set pieces in attack. It's not easy to score from open play against Union. Only Bayern have managed in recent weeks to score from open play. Every other goal they conceded was from a counter or set piece."
