Big save from Baumann!
At the other end of the pitch, Cologne very nearly seal it as Kamiński curls an effort towards the far post, only to see Baumann tip it around the post just in time.

Will Cologne hold on?
They've brought on several substitutes in the last few minutes. Will those fresh legs help them or will they need a while to get up to match speed?

Promising... but nothing
A cross from the right is clipped into the box. Moerstedt wins it at the back post but redirects the ball back across goal, but Bebou can't make anything of it.

Goalkeeper Efficiency of Marvin Schwäbe
Goalkeeper Efficiency
Goalkeeper Efficiency compares the number of saves a goalkeeper makes with his expected saves (xSaves). xSaves is calculated with the help of artificial intelligence. When a goalkeeper has a positive efficiency value, it means he has saved more shots than statistically expected.

Table talk
If it stays like this, promoted Cologne will climb into the top four, overnight at least. Hoffenheim will remain in a very congested mid-table.
73'
Like-for-like changes
The goalscorer, Said El Mala, makes way for Linton Maina in the Cologne attack. There's also a change at the back as defender Cenk Özkacar makes his second Bundesliga appearance at the expense of Dominique Heintz.

Plan B
Four changes in the space of five minutes from Ilzer, including the introduction of club record goalscorer Kramarić. Can the Croatian inspire a late turnaround?

Kamiński!
A fine long ball out of the back from Heintz sends Kamiński scampering away behind the Hoffenheim defence. He tries to lift it over Baumann but hits it too hard and the ball goes over the bar

Chance for El Mala
Hoffenheim struggle to clear a long throw-in and Cologne manage to recycle possession. The ball is threaded through to El Mala on the left-hand side of the penalty area. The angle is tight but he only as Baumann to beat so he takes on the shot, but the Hoffenheim keeper is equal to it.

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).

Superb from Schmied
Asllani creates some space inside the box but has the ball nicked off his toe by Touré, who surges into space. He looks certain to score - until Schmied lunges in with a block to send the ball out for a corner.
50'
Asllani has a go
In space a little way outside the Cologne box, Asllani looks up but has nobody to pass to. He fires off a shot at goal but it fizzes just over.

Up and running again!
The second half is under way, with Ache on for Thielmann, who was on the receiving end of some heft challenges in the first half.

Decision overturned
The referee initially awards Hoffenheim a penalty after Martel blocks a shot from Touré with his arm. Following a VAR review, he overturns his decision as Martel's arm was tucked in close to his body.

Close from El Mala
Hoffenheim just can't get to grips with the winger, as he cuts inside from the left again and unleashes a powerful shot from outside the box that whistles just over.

Shutting up shop
Cologne retreat to a 5-4-1 formation when out of possession, sitting deep inside their own half to deny Hoffenheim any space in the final third.

Crucial intervention!
Cologne lose possession cheaply in midfield and Lemperle instantly sprints forward. He's got a couple of team-mates to his right if he can find them, but Jóhannesson senses the danger and scurries across to block the pass. Hoffenheim would have been clean through otherwise.

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.
14'
Lemperle has a go
The Hoffneheim attacker jinks inside from the left and gets a shot away but it deflects off a defender's leg and goes out for a corner.
13'
Well over
Jóhannesson takes the free-kick but he can't get enough dip on it and the ball sails high over the bar.
11'
Dangerous location
Touré fouls Thielmann just outside the Hoffenheim box. He gets booked for his trouble and now Cologne have a free-kick in a very promising position.

El Mala making mischief
The young winger has looked very lively in recent weeks and he shows a glimpse of his talent here. Wide on the left, his pace takes him past his marker but his cross is cut out.
3'
First hint of danger
Touré brings down a long ball really well wide on the left. He's got space to run into and he gets to the by line before crossing into the middle, but the visitors manage to clear.

Peeeeep!
Matchday 6 has officially begun!
Kick-off!
Three changes for Hoffenheim too
Home boss Christian Ilzer has likewise rotated in three positions: Hajdari, Damar and Lemperle come in for Chaves, Prass and Kramarić - the latter being a big surprise on the bench.
