Hoffenheim 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
Goals: 0-1 Götze (17'), 1-1 Adamyan (79'), 2-1 Kramaric (87')

The hosts ended a four-match winless run with their 2-0 victory at Union Berlin during the week and looked to build on that early on with Ihlas Bebou breaking through the backline before being denied by a sliding Mats Hummels, who was captaining Dortmund in the absence of the injured Marco Reus. BVB took the lead with just over a quarter of an hour gone when Mario Götze turned home Achraf Hakimi’s low cross for his third goal of the season. Jadon Sancho then had a chance when through on goal but sliced his effort wide moments before Hoffenheim rattled the bar with a trademark Robert Skov free-kick from some 30 yards. Thorgan Hazard then returned the favour at the other end when Oliver Baumann tipped a rising driven effort onto the crossbar.

There was a rare sight for the start of the second half as the two sides made three substitutions at half-time, including Hummels being replaced by Lukasz Piszczek after hurting his wrist early in the game. One of the goalscorers in Tuesday’s draw with RB Leipzig, Julian Brandt, forced a good save out of Baumann before Hakimi flashed an effort across the face of goal. Moments after a last-ditch slide denied Sancho a shot, Christoph Baumgartner fired a volley wide on the run after a long ball over the top. All three TSG subs would eventually have an impact as Jürgen Locadia’s close-range effort after Pavel Kaderabek's cross was blocked by a scrambling Roman Bürki before Adamyan tapped home the rebound to level things up. The comeback was complete with just a few minutes to go when Kramaric sprayed the ball out wide before heading in the cross himself and claim the three points.
