Another double change
Höfler, who has rarely been used recently, is given another chance. Sildillia also comes on, replacing the excellent Dōan – that's a defender coming on for an attacker in the final minutes.

Like last season?

49'
That was close!
Bülter crosses from the left into the danger zone. Toure waits at the far post but misses the ball by just a few centimetres!

What a first touch!
Dōan brilliantly plucks a long ball out of the air behind the defence. The goal scorer plays the ball out to the left, from where it comes back into the box. Kübler takes the shot but smashes the ball over the bar with full force.
44'
Inspired
After scoring two goals, Freiburg arevery much on top, playing casually between the Hoffenheim ranks.

Assists leader
And that was Grifo's ninth assist of the season, taking him third on the league's assists chart with one more assist than he managed all last season.
40'
Top scorer!
That was Dōan's ninth goal of the season, which takes him top of the Freiburg scorers chart, one strike ahead of Vincenzo Grifo.
39'
Too much elbow
In an aerial duel with Dōan, Nsoki extends his arm too far and receives a warning.
36'
Dōan makes it 2-0!
After a sustained spell of pressure from Freiburg, Dōan works a one-two on the approach to the area before firing a low shot through his defender's legs and past Baumann at his near post - the same corner Höler found eight minutes ago! Freiburg are really taking control of this match...

Hoffenheim look to hit back
As Hoffenheim look to conjure an immediate response to Freiburg's opener, Bischof meets a deep cross from Toure at the far post. But he can't control it and the ball flies into the stands.

Important save!
Toure chips the ball into the box and Kramaric controls it and shoots. Tabaković deflects the ball just in front of Müller, making it really dangerous. But the Freiburg keeper is alert and makes the save!
22'
The visitors are back in the game!
Ginter clears up a situation that Freiburg brought upon themselves – he gets to a cross from the right just before Tabaković. He appears to have picked up a minor injury and requires a brief spell on the sidelines, but he gets back to his feet and seems able to continue.

Manzambi!
A first chance for the newcomer! After a mistake in Hoffenheim's build-up play, Eggestein poounces and picks out the young Swiss player. He creates space for himself in the penalty area, but then shoots too hastily. The ball is blocked. The follow-up shot is also harmless.

Hoffenheim on the ball
The visitors are in control at this stage, passing the ball around smoothly. However, they are unable to get into the final third.
10'
Another mistake
After Kübler, it is now Dōan who fails to control the ball, the Japan international missing out on a promising situation in the opponent's penalty area.
8'
Inches in it!
Tabaković pounces on a poor first touch from Kübler, deftly back-heeling for Kramarić on the edge of the area. Last weekend;s two-goal hero wastes no time and fires a low effort a the far post. It beats Müller, but also the post, by the narrowest of margins. That was close!
5'
Old habits
As has often been the case this season, Dōan plays himself free on the right and crosses into the box – no danger this time, however, as the cross is a little too imprecise.
4'
Müller with the save!
Hoffenheim work the ball to the edge of the area, where Kramarić shows some fine close control before firing for the far post. Luckily for Freiburg, Müller is equal to the task, diving to his left and palming the ball wide.

Long pass forward
Hoffenheim play long right away, and Freiburg youngster Makengo immediately gets a first opportunity to clear the ball.
