Full-time: Hoffenheim 3-0 Augsburg

The visitors improved in the second half, but the damage was done in the opening 45. Goals from Toure and Burger, along with a Zesiger own goal, set the tone for an impressive win for the hosts, who continue their push up the table.

Great effort

Claude-Maurice bursts through the middle before trying to lob the ball over Baumann, but the Germany goalkeeper is equal to the well-struck effort.

Augsburg think they have a goal back

But it won't count! Tietz lays the ball off to Essende, who charges forward before hammering home a thunderbolt. Unfortunately for Augsburg, Tietz was narrowly offside in the build-up, and the goal is disallowed.

A second half lacking in chances

After Hoffenheim's first-half dominance, this second period so far has lacked something of a spark, with both sides seemingly content to see out the game as it stands.

Half-time: Hoffenheim 3-0 Augsburg

It's 3-0 to the hosts at the break, and that doesn't flatter them. Hoffenheim have been on top since the beginning and deservedly took the lead through Toure after 16 minutes. Burger then pounced on a rebound to add the second before an unfortunate Zesiger own goal just before the break pushed Hoffenheim further out of sight. Augsburg will need to improve dramatically to stop this game getting further out of hand.
Half-time

It's 3-0!

Coufal whips in a good cross from the right that Banks can only head against his teammate Zesiger whilst under pressure from Prömel. The ball then bounces off the unfortunate defender and spins into the corner past Dahmen. It's a long way back for Augsburg now.

A big chance

Baumann rushes out to clear as Essende and Hajdari battle, but makes a mess of the situation. The ball is then quickly recycled to Giannoulis, who has a go with the goalkeeper still out of his box, but he can't hit the target. That was certainly a chance.

Better from Augsburg

Good football leads to Essende having a go, but his shot is blocked and therefore easy for Baumann.

Baumann's recognition before kick-off

It's been an enjoyable day for Baumann so far. Before the game, he received recognition for his 500th Bundesliga appearance last weekend, and now his side are leading comfortably after half an hour.

More danger

Asllani threatens to wriggle free in the box, but his effort is well-blocked by Matsima.

Burger makes it 2-0!

Wonderful football from Hoffenheim sees Coufal feed Prömel on the right. He tries his luck, but can't beat Dahmen. However, Burger is first to the loose ball to hammer home for Hoffenheim's second.

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).

Hoffenheim lead!

Burger sends a long ball forward that leads to Lemperle and Matsima battling for the ball on the edge of the box. Neither player can get to the ball, however, and Toure pounces on the opening to fire through Dahmen to open the scoring.

More on those teams

Hoffenheim make just the one change from their 1-1 draw at Mainz as Lemperle comes into the starting XI for Kramarić. Sandro Wagner, meanwhile, makes two changes to his Augsburg side that eked out a narrow 1-0 win over Hamburg. Schlotterbeck misses out through suspension after being sent off in that game and is replaced by Zesiger, whereas Claude-Maurice is replaced by Essende.

Christian Ilzer on facing Augsburg

“Sandro Wagner has initiated a transition there as coach. When you change things, there is always resistance that needs to be managed, and you need a certain persistence to deal with it. Sandro is doing it very well: you can see what he envisions. As an opponent, you need a precise game to find solutions against them. They also have a clear idea of what they want to do with the ball. Augsburg will not make it easy for us.”

Sandro Wagner on facing Hoffenheim

“They’ve started the season really well, play proactive football and have the momentum on their side. We need to nullify their strengths and bring our own qualities into the game.”

A happy birthday for Augsburg's boss?

Sandro Wagner will celebrate his 38th birthday on the same day as the match in Hoffenheim. Incidentally, Wagner enjoyed the most successful period of his playing career at Hoffenheim. After joining from Darmstadt in 2016, Wagner scored 15 goals in 42 Bundesliga matches for the Sinsheimers - more than he did for any other club.

Ilzer's Sinsheimers in fine fettle

For the first time in more than three-and-a-half years, Hoffenheim have gone five matches in a row without defeat. The last time this happened was between February and March 2022 under then coach Sebastian Hoeneß (now of VfB Stuttgart).
