Amazing Anton!
Guirassy turns the ball forward to Anton to slam in what will surely be a winner after Baumann had raced out moments earlier to clear from under the feet of Carney Chukwuemeka - taking a knock in the process!
Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.

Hoffenheim level again!
Another twist! Jurásek floats a cross from the left for his fellow Czech, Kadeřábek, to volley in to draw Hoffenheim level - we are due to have another four minutes of stoppage time.

The Dortmund winger uses his pace to dart behind the defence again and just has Oliver Baumann to beat - but his effort is too tame to trouble the Hoffenheim shot stopper.
54'
Toure tips over
The teenager is supplied on the left, sets up a shot and flashes over from a fairly improbable angle.

Ryerson receiving treatment
The Dortmund right-back has taken a blow to the face and requires some treatment before the game continues.

Svensson swirls corner in
Daniel Svensson delivers a devilish corner from the right that Baumann has to leap to tip past the far post.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Close one
Bensebaini fouls Toure just outside the box, and a VAR check verifies whether it was not in fact inside and worthy of a penalty. The set-piece is confirmed just out to the left of Dortmund's area, and Geiger swings his free-kick over the bar.
24'
All sorts going on...
Dortmund manage to win the ball immediately after Hoffenheim restart, and Serhou Guirassy is fed with a long pass forward that Baumann races well out of his goal to clear. Jamie Gittens then tries to lift the ball into the empty net from around 40 yards out, but goes wide.
21'
Guirassy opens the scoring!
Dortmund spring open Hoffenheim on a quick attack, with Daniel Svensson reaching a ball behind the defence before laying it across for Serhou Guirassy to stroke in. The referee's assistant flags for offside, but a VAR check confirms Svensson was onside, and the visitors have the lead!
