Atubolu again
The Freiburg stopper gets both hands behind a fierce hit from Damar. The ensuing corner is initially cleared, before Coufal thrashes a long-range effort off target.
88'
Huge save!
Two of the subs combine as Bebou feeds Lemperle in the Freiburg area. He cuts inside his marker before shooting for the bottom corner, only to be denied by the on-rushing Atubolu. Superb goalkeeping. Was that the chance?

Carded
Osterhage takes one for the team by pulling down Asllani, who was about to put his head down and charge towards the Freiburg penalty area.
77'
Blocked!
Asllani has a shot from inside the Freiburg box blocked, before the referee calls play back for an earlier challenge on Matanović. That's been pretty much the story of the second half - very stop-start.
73'
Double change
Ilzer shows his hand, with Grischa Prömel bringing some fresh legs to the midfield and the fit-again Tim Lemperle providing a different kind of attacking threat to Kramarić.

Talking tactics
Those changes are having the desired effect for Freiburg. They're controlling the play, helped by the presence of Matanović as the obvious target man in attack.
67'
Close!
Much better from Freiburg as Treu and Matanović combine to set up Osterhage on the edge of the area. He jinks away from his marker before getting off a well-hit shot that whistles just past the upright via a deflection. Hard, fast and direct - that's what the home side have been looking for!
64'
Impact subs
Derry Scherhant and Igor Matanović made a real impact from the bench in Freiburg's last home game. Scherhant scored once and Matanović a brace as Schuster's side came from behind to beat Stuttgart 3-1. Can they deliver the goods once more?

Patched up
Bernardo's abandoned the head gear, but that earlier cut is still causing him problems as the medics tend to the wound once more.
59'
First change
Damar, who started the defeat to Bayern, replaces Prass. He has one assist in four competitive games so far this season.

Nobody home
Grifo pings a cross into the Hoffenheim area, but he gets his angles wrong on this occasion. It's got too much on it for Adamu and goes harmlessly out of play.
48'
Ticking off
Play's called back in midfield, with Makengo adjudged to have caught Burger late. That's one booking apiece now.

Caution
Chaves lunges in on Dinkçi as Freiburg break. The play initially continues, before the Hoffenheim defender is called back for the challenge.

Well read
Hranáč does really well to spot the danger and clear after Grifo's eye-of-the-needle pass threatened to send Adamu in on goal.
44'
Seven added minutes
No surprise after that collision between Kübler and Bernardo. Will there be a late twist in the first-half tale?
41'
Set-piece threat
Prass finds Bernardo with a free-kick from the left, but the Hoffenheim defender can't adjust his feet and it's put behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.
38'
There's the change
Kübler can't continue after that earlier clash of heads. He's visibly groggy as he departs the field of play and heads straight down the tunnel for further treatment. Philipp Treu is on at right-back.

Substitution
36'
Penalty box ping-pong
It's Hoffenheim's turn to ask the question of the Freiburg defence as a cross is swung over from the left. Hranáč tries to get something on the bouncing ball, but is shown away from goal. That could have gone anywhere!
32'
Come and get it
Beste fires an inviting corner in towards the near-post area, but Hoffenheim get it clear. That's a serious dead-ball double act Freiburg have in him and Grifo.

Aerial clash
Bernardo's down receiving treatment after a clash of heads with Kübler, who's also being attending to by the medical team.

What a difference a goal makes
There was just 10 minutes between those jubilant scenes. It was a wild opening, but the pace has since slowed.

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).

Asllani levels!
Vladimír Coufal takes advantage of some clumsy defending, the Czechia international racing away up the right-hand side and putting a fourth Bundesliga goal of the season on a plate for Fisnik Asllani in the six-yard box. Electric stuff in the early stages!
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.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Theatrical
Beste weaves into the Hoffenheim box, trying to skip away from two blue shirts. He goes to ground as the back-tracking Chaves intervenes, but the referee is unmoved.

Kramarić!
Great technique from the Croatian, who hammers an effort goalwards on the volley. Atubolu is at full stretch and beats it to safety.

Freiburg lead!
Wow, what a start! Adamu slides in at the far post to return a Vincenzo Grifo corner with interest. The unmarked Lukas Kübler reacts fastest to turn it over the line and, after a lengthy check for a possible offside, the goal is given.

Confusion in the ranks
The Hoffenheim defence don't deal with a long ball into the penalty area. Junior Adamu is on the chase, but Oliver Baumann is off his line to make an unorthodox clearance.

More on those teams
Schuster makes two changes to the Freiburg team that beat Basel 2-1 in the Europa League in midweek, with left-back Jordy Makengo and forward Eren Dinkçi recalled at the expense of Christian Günter and the suspended Johan Manzambi. There are also two changes in the Hoffenheim ranks following their 4-1 loss to Bayern last weekend. Club record scorer Andrej Kramarić and defender Arthur Chaves come back in; Albian Hajdari misses out, but Muhammed Damar is on the bench.
