Traoré into the book
The defender's late challenge and follow-through sees him go into the referee's book late on.
90'
+ 4
Chaves' fifth
That's the fifth yellow card of the season for the Brazilian defender which means he will be suspended for Hoffenheim's next game against St. Pauli.
90'

Kramaric goes close!
The Croatian tries to get a first-time shot away past Muller after receiving a clipped ball into the box, but the touch is too heavy and the ball flies well over the Heidenheim net.
90'
Bischof wide again!
Another Bischof shot goes wide from range, as Hoffenheim are struggling to find the decisive finish in front of goal needed to win this tie.
89'
Toure on target!
Substitute Toure has been a breath of fresh air for Ilzer's attack and has a chance to put a cross for Tabakovic but decides to have a go himself and the shot is safely gathered by Muller.
88'
Traore fancies a shot
Now it is Traore who advances forward to take a pop at Baumann's goal from wing-back, but the shot is more hope than hit as we approach the end of normal time.
86'
Five minutes to go
Heidenheim have had the greater number of chances here in the second half and haven't always been clinical. But now Hoffenheim are enjoying greater control, can the home side recover here and claim three very important points?

Now Hoffenheim on top of the action
Schmidt's side are now on the backfoot as the home side look to be refreshed with Toure's addition to the action, a series of shots at Müller's goal produces some complaints of a hand-ball but the referee says nothing doing.
81'
Fresh legs in attack
Another youngster enters the fray now as Ilzer throws on Toure from the bench once again with the hope of changing their fortunes in attack. We are into the final 10 minutes of normal time here.

78'
All Heidenheim now
Yet another cross nearly finds the head of a Heidenheim player in the Hoffenheim box as Schöppner is unable to make solid contact, but Schmidt's side can certainly be more confident of the two teams to grab a winner here.
77'
Wanner goes close!
Pieringer plays in a disguised through ball in behind Hoffenheim's defence and Wanner escapes pressure to get a shot away, Baumann does just enough to deny the youngster a chance to give the Storks the lead.
75'
More changes needed
Ilzer needs to introduce more fresh legs into play here, with Heidenheim maintaing their intensity, the home side could do with an addition or two to keep up and bring something different to the table.
74'
Beck at the near post!
The resulting corner sees a powerful inswinger into the Hoffenheim box, Heidenheim win the first contact and the ball falls to Beck, whose shot is yet again not good enough to get the better of Baumann.
73'
Dancing feet of Wanner
The impact of Wanner in the attack is already evident, showing some great moves with the ball to produce a cross headed away by a Hoffenheim defender.
71'
Remarkable change in intensity
There is a big change in the intensity from the Storks so far, who are recovering the ball a whopping seven seconds quicker than the first period.

Wanner enters the action
The second assister of the evening also now departs, making way for the supremely talented Paul Wanner, no doubt Schmidt is looking to push on.

Change is afoot
Gendrey makes way for Geiger after a successful return from a groin injury. Ilzer shuffles his team as Geiger moves into midfield and Akpoguma drops into the backline.

Heidenheim capitalise on pressure
Much like Hoffenheim's goal in the first half, Heidenheim now do well to capitalise on the sequence of half-chances of their own, Schmidt will have loved the genius from his Georgian striker who opens his account for Heidenheim in style.

Beck shoots wide
Heidenheim work it well to get the ball into the Hoffenheim final third through lines of pressure, Beck is the one who charges forward but the sequence ends with a tame shot at Baumann's goal, which goes wide.
63'
Kramarić key in attack
As ever, Kramarić is at the centre of everything that has been positive about Hoffenheim's atttacking moves. The Croatian has been put under pressure 16 times by the Heidenheim defence and has successfully dealt with a superb 75% of the time.

Heidenheim seeing more of the ball
Hoffenheim are happy for the Storks to have the ball and Schmidt's side are keeping it simple in possession, spraying the ball to the wide areas and attempting to cross it into dangerous areas, but Hoffenheim hold firm.
55'
Gimber skies it!
Another set-piece results in a chance for Heidenheim, Dorsch's initial corner is cleared but chased down by Beck, who does well to get past Orban and penetrate the Hoffenheim box to find Gimber around the penalty spot, but the defender shoots well wide of Baumann's goal.
53'
Baumann stretches!
Finally Baumann is called into action by Heidenheim's attack, the second of two shots from Mainka in the box following a Dorsch free-kick produces a full-stretch save from the Hoffenheim number one.
51'
Beautiful football from Hoffenheim
Another great sequence constructed with Orban and Kramaric at the heart of it, the Nigeria international releases a superb through ball for the Croatian, whose goes past Muller's goal with Tabakovic just inches away from getting a touch.
50'
Østigård goes down
The Norway defender goes down after attempting to connect with a cross and in doing so, tangled with Gimber in the Heidenheim box. The play carries on for a few moments before Baumann boots it out so the defender can get some treatment. No injury worries though, and the play resumes soon after.
48'
Bischof from range again!
After a brief spell of Heidenheim controlling possession, Hoffenheim now break forward and a cross from the left finds its way to Bischof from just outside the box, which is well struck but fizzes well wide of the away goal.
46'
Heidenheim get us underway
Just the one change at the break as Zivzivadze comes in for Siersleben for Heidenheim, who get the second-half started the the PreZero Arena.

Little added time
The referee has signalled for two minutes extra time as we approach the break.
45'
Tabakovic goes close!
Another nearly moment for Hoffenheim as we approach half-time, a driven ball from Kadeřábek into the Heidenheim box finds the feet of Tabaković, the Bosnian's first-time shot is deflected away from Müller's goal.
42'
Storks lacking creative spark
Schdmit's side have been up to the mark in every physical duel so far but are lacking some creative spark to really help them find the spaces behind this Hoffenheim defence. No doubt something for the Heidenheim boss to address in the dressing room.
40'
Orban fires over!
What an opportunity that was! A superb move of efficiency from Hoffenheim, with Bischof playing through to Tabakovic down the right flank, a cross from the Bosnian finds the feet of the Nigerian striker Orban, but he somehow fires over after taking a touch. That should have been 2-0!
39'
Physical Heidenheim not making it easy
Schmidt's side are giving it their all in the 1v1 duels, especially in the air, with another challenge on Bischof around the halfway line.
37'
Hoffenheim in control
As we approach half-time, that goal seems to have come at a good time for Hoffenheim, who followed up their half-chances with a full chance of their own. Heidenheim's pressing intensity has dropped off slightly, Schmidt will be eager to address them at the break.

Tiki taka Heidenheim
Some really fancy interplay just outside the Hoffenheim box from the Heidenheim attackers but they overcook the passing and the danger is quelled by the home side.
27'
Better from the home side
Ilzer's side are showing more offensive impetus now with Obran and Kramaric looking to take the reins in attack, but once again, no shot on target from their latest sequence as Heidenheim hold firm.

Almost a scare for Akpoguma
A late trip from Beck on the Hoffenheim substitute sees him go down, it is a painful one, but he is okay to carry on, much to Ilzer's relief.
20'
Crossing is the way to go
Both teams are looking to hurt each other in the box with early crosses, with two crosses in the space of a minute from both sides attempting to unsettle defences. It remains 0-0 though, no shots on target just yet.
18'
Busch from range!
Now it is Heidenheim's turn to test the goalkeeper from range, Oliver Baumann glances a powerful strike from wingback Marlon Busch, whose attempt to test the Hoffenheim keeper from 18 yards only manages to hit his water bottle on the side.
16'
Acrobatic Siersleben clearance
The German defender puts it all on the line to clear a cross headed for the feet of Tabaković, the ball goes out for a Hoffenheim corner, which produces little in the way of danger.
15'
Bischof has a pop!
Not a bad effort from more than 25 yards out as Tom Bischof attempts a powerful strike from range, Kevin Müller is unaffected though in the Heidenheim goal.
13'
Second yellow in two minutes
This time, it is striker Pieringer who sees yellow for aggressively leaning into Kadeřábek and catching a late tackle on the Czechia international.
10'
No luck for Kramarić
That free-kick comes from Andrej Kramarić who aims to put the ball into a dangerous spot in the box, but Heidenheim's clearance leads to the feet of Valentin Gendrey who lashes the shot well over the post.
9'
First yellow of the day
Defender Siersleben gets a yellow card from the referee as a birthday present today, as he goes in from the side on Hoffenheim striker Gift Orban. This could be an interesting set-piece opportunity for Hoffenheim.
7'
No control in the opening minutes
Neither side has been able to find their rhythm and settle into the game just yet. With turnovers for both sides in midfield so far.

Early change enforced
Christian Ilzer is forced to replace Samassékou in midfield due to injury, Kevin Akpoguma replaces him.
