Full time: Hoffenheim 0-1 Cologne

Frustration for the hosts, who had 14 efforts on goal to Cologne's nine, but just couldn't find a way through. Ultimately, Saïd El Mala's fine solo in the first half proved the difference between the sides, allowing the Billy Goats to collect their third Bundesliga win of the season.

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.

Bebou inches away!

Coufal scampers down the right to reach a diagonal ball and volleys it across goal first time. It just needs a touch to go in but Bebou - at full stretch - just can't quite get there!
86'

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?
81'

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.

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.

Watch: Men in the way

Hoffenheim made a bright start to the second half, with Touré denied by a brave sliding block.
71'

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?
65'

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
63'

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.

El Mala has not been quite as lively in this half as he was on the first but he remains Cologne's best attacking outlet with his pace and direct running.

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.

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.

Schwäbe again!

Cologne's defence gets dissected again as Asllani threads it through to Touré, who is one-on-one with Schwäbe. The goalkeeper makes himself big and produces another good save though.
22'

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.

Hard fought

There have been flashes of individual class in this game, interspersed with some crunching tackles.

What a goal!

The youngster collects the ball wide on the left and immediately sprints forward. He gets into the Hoffenheim box and skips past three defenders before drilling a low shot past Baumann. A brilliant goal.

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.

Well over

Jóhannesson takes the free-kick but he can't get enough dip on it and the ball sails high over the bar.

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.

Big save from Schwäbe!

Damar has a chance to get the opener with a clear sight of goal, but his strike is too close to Schwäbe, who paws it away.

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.

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.

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.

More on that Cologne team

Cologne coach Lukas Kwasniok has made three changes to the side that lost 2-1 at home to VfB Stuttgart last week: Krauß, Maina and Ache all drop to the bench, with Heintz, Lund and El Mala starting instead.

Previous meetings

Hoffenheim have lost just one of their last six meetings with Cologne, winning three and drawing the remaining two. The most recent meeting between the pair was in the 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign, where there was nothing to separate the sides in a 1-1 draw at the PreZero Arena.

Lemperle to face old friends

Tim Lemperle was a key figure in Cologne's promotion back to the Bundesliga before moving to Hoffenheim in the summer, and has contributed two goals and one assist in four league appearances for his new side.

As things stand

The two sides currently sit level on seven points, with Cologne in seventh place and Hoffenheim in 10th. Hoffenheim come into this fixture on the back of a 1-1 draw with Freiburg, while Cologne fell to a second consecutive defeat at home to VfB Stuttgart.
