Bruun Larsen gives Hoffenheim the lead!
A Hoffenheim corner is cleared by Leipzig, but only as far as Stach near the corner flag. He whips in a fantastic cross towards the substitute, who rises higher than Orbán to head home and give his side the lead for the first time this afternoon.

Hložek for his second!
The Czech forward has his second of the game as Hoffenheim draw it level for the third time this game. A good advantage played from the referee allows the newly on Bruun Larsen to pounce on a loose ball. He drives forward before laying it off to Hložek on the edge of the box, whose touch fools Geertruida and allows him to shoot, finding the bottom right corner.

Free-kick for Leipzig
Out wide on the left, Kampl takes, whipping it low towards the box. It bounces out to Openda, who gets to the byline and crosses, but Baumann is there to collect the cross.

Leipzig take the lead again
Nusa cuts in off the left by the touchline. He moves the ball onto his right, whipping a deep in-swinging cross towards Openda at the far post, but Nsoki, in trying to stop Openda from making first contact for a certain goal, puts the ball in his own net. Unlucky from the Frenchman.
63'
Fingertips from Baumann
After a Leipzig corner, the visitors regain possession. Kampl crosses into Orbán, who meets it with a great header, forcing an outstretched Baumann to make a brilliant save to deny him. Nothing comes of the subsequent corner.

Openda in behind
It's a foot race towards the Hoffenheim goal between Openda and Nsoki, but the defender just pips the forward to the ball, sliding in to clear the danger.

Bischof equalises
Kramarić goes down on the edge of the box for a free-kick to Hoffenheim from a good position. Both he and Bischof stand over it. Kramarić dummies, Bischof takes it with his left and bends it round the left of the wall, the ball striking the inside of the left post. Gulácsi stood rooted to the spot as the youngster got his first senior goal for Hoffenheim.
49'
Tabaković again
Prass drives down the left and fires a driven cross in towards Tabaković at the near post. He makes contact and this time it's on target, but Gulácsi parries well. Another chance goes begging for the striker.
46'
Early chance
One of Hoffenheim's stars from the first half, Hložek, drives powerfully into the Leipzig box. Under pressure, he manages to get a shot away towards the bottom left corner, but it's not powerful enough to beat Gulácsi, who gets down well to save.
46'
Back underway
The hosts get the ball rolling again here in Hoffenheim. Leipzig make one change at half-time: Geertruida replaces Klostermann.

Chance down the right
Kadeřábek breaks away down the right in a promising attack for Hoffenheim. But, his attempted cross is too close to Gulácsi, the keeper gathers it and the danger passes.

Openda in behind
Kampl plays a disguised reverse pass behind the back line of Hoffenheim. Openda runs onto it and gets a shot away from inside the box, but from a tight angle off the left. His shot is straight at Baumann from point blank range and the German keeper parries it, before smothering the loose ball.
36'
Šeško can't bring it down
A looping ball up from the back is played high in towards Šeško. Even with his height and a leap, the striker can't quite bring it down in the box to fashion a chance.
31'
Narrowly wide
Hložek, on the edge of the box, lays it off to Kadeřábek who arrives as an overlap down the right. He shoots back across goal with a low driven shot, but drags it just wide of the left post.

Bülter wins a corner
Once again Hoffenheim work it down the left. Bischof finds Bülter, whose attempt is blocked behind for a corner by Henrichs. Bischof takes, failing to beat the first man, but it comes back to him. He cuts in off the left, curls an effort with his right towards the far corner but he lashes at it and it's well wide.
26'
Hložek goes close again
Bischof releases Prass down the left with a lovely threaded pass. The full-back whips a cross in towards the back post where Hložek is waiting, but his vollied attempt flies narrowly over the bar.
24'
Baumgartner crosses
A loose ball is rolling towards the byline. Baumgartner just manages to reach it and crosses into Openda, whose shot is deflected behind for a corner. Kampl takes but nothing comes of it for the visitors.

Leipzig retake the lead!
Another goal inside three minutes of the first! This time a lofted pass is played over the top to Openda, who drives down the right. He whips a cross deep into the arriving Nusa on the edge of the box, who curls a delightful effort into the top right corner.
18'
What a response!
Hoffenheim show their spirit. The ball is worked out wide to the left and a low cross is fired back across goal. Three Hoffenheim players leave it, before it falls to Hložek. He fakes his shot, sitting Orbán down, before finishing into the top right corner.
16'
Orbán opens the scoring!
The Leipzig captain had stayed high, after his side had been awarded a free-kick for a foul on Baumgartner. Nothing came of the free-kick, but Leipzig got a hold of the ball again and worked it wide to Nusa. The winger puts an in-swinging cross into Orbán, who slides it home like a proper centre-forward would.

Risky from Baumann
The keeper takes his time on the ball and is pressed by Nusa. It looks like he might give it away, but he turns away from the press and manages to play out.

Leipzig counterattack
After Bülter connected with the corner, it drops to Baumgartner, who breaks quickly for Leipzig. He drives his side up the pitch down the touchline on the right, before squaring it to Openda. The Belgian's shot is then blocked.

Hoffenheim starting positively
It's been all the hosts so far, Leipzig haven't got out of their own half yet. They've looked confident in possession, a few shots and have won a corner, but nothing came of it.

Golden chance for Tabaković
Bischof threads a deft ball on the turn in towards Bülter, who had broken free down the left. He squares it in towards the unmarked Tabaković, who had the goal gaping, but shot wide of the right post from inside six yards.

Scarce set-play success
Hoffenheim have only scored one goal from a set-piece this season (a penalty vs. Kiel), whilst Leipzig are yet to score from a dead-ball scenario at all, an unwanted record shared with St. Pauli.
Upcoming milestone
A victory over Hoffenheim would be Marco Rose’s 100th as a Bundesliga head coach across spells with Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund and now Leipzig.
