Game on!
Leweling does well on the left and his attempted cross into the middle loops over Baumann and hits the post. It bounces back into the middle where Undav is lurking, completely unmarked, to head in from close range.

Skov restores two-goal advantage
Beier collects possession wide on the left, draws a defender to him and then slides the ball inside to Skov. Anton can’t get close enough to him and the Dane unleashes a powerful, angled drive into the far corner. Brilliant stuff from Hoffenheim!

Comeback on the cards?
What a lovely goal this is. Führich receives the ball near the halfway line, wide on the left. He drives forward, leaving a number of players trailing in his wake, before playing a neat one-two with Undav on the edge of the box and stroking past Baumman to give VfB hope.

Half-time: VfB Stuttgart 0-2 Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim have been absolutely clinical so far today and are good value for their lead. Stuttgart could have got a foothold back in the game around the half-hour mark, but Undav’s penalty was brilliantly saved by Baumann.

In off the post!
Beier is brought down by Rouault inside the area and after a VAR review, a penalty is given. Weghorst smashes it low to Nübel's right and although the VfB goalkeeper guesses the right way, the Dutchman's spot-kick is too precise and bounces in off the base of the upright.

Hoffenheim take the lead!
The visitors break forward at pace and after Beier's shot is well saved by Nübel, the ball falls kindly at the feet of Prömel, arriving in the box. The Stuttgart native coolly strokes in the opener from 16 yards! Can Stuttgart turn this around now without the goal threat of Serhou Guirassy up top?
