Could've sealed it
A golden chance for Hoffenheim! Jurásek is waiting in the middle unmarked as Hoffenheim have a two-on-one, but the cross from the left is massively overhit. That could've been it...
83'
Huge chance for Undav!
An inswinging cross from the right finds Undav at the penalty spot. He connects but doesn't get enough contact on it and the ball trickles into the arms of Baumann.
82'
Over from Undav
Führich's cross finds the forward at the front post. He swivels quickly and unleashes a left-footed shot from close range but at a tight angle. His shot flies over the bar.

Roof of the net
Mittelstädt's cross is deflected from the left, nearly carrying it into the goal. Baumann didn't look comfortable as it lands on the roof of the net.

Double substitution
Woltemade and Rieder both come in for Leweling and Millot. An attacking substitution for the home side - can they find the breakthrough?

Chance for Hložek
Hoffenheim counterattack quickly and a cut-back from the byline finds Hložek. Chase is right on him, however, and he can't get his shot away.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Leweling squares it
The winger breaks into the Hoffenheim box with some pace and makes it to the byline. He cuts it back but can't find any of his Stuttgart teammates.
48'
Bright from Bischof
An early corner for Hoffenheim. Bischof takes it short and gets the ball back, beats his man and shoots at the near post with his left foot. It was an awkward save to make for Nübel but he makes it well. A positive statement of intent by the visitors this second half.
46'
Two changes at half-time
Stuttgart make two changes during the interval to try and turn this game around. Vagnoman comes in for Rouault and Führich comes in for Karazor.

Half-time Stuttgart 0-1 Hoffenheim
An electric start to the half saw chances cleared off the line by each side. The game then grew flat for a longer period in the middle of the half, though the challenges remained very hard. Stuttgart dominated possession but Hoffenheim were too compact and difficult to break down. A mistake from Mittelstädt at the very end of the half allowed Gendrey to find himself in a one-on-one situation and to finish coolly for the visitors.

Gendrey breaks the deadlock!
Kramarić picks the ball up in the middle of the park. He plays a ball through to Gendrey, but it's too close to Mittelstädt. The Stuttgart man however fails to clear and Gendrey picks his pocket and finishes calmly into the bottom left.

Free header for Undav
Rouault heads across the box for Undav, who rises unchallenged and heads again, but the ball was always rising over the bar. That was a good chance for the in-form striker.
40'
Challenges flying in
This game is just beginning to get a little heated. In the last few minutes there've been one or two really strong challenges put in by each team.
35'
Mittelstädt goes again
From the subsequent corner, it's played short and worked to Mittelstädt on the edge of the box. He fakes his shot with his left and works it onto his right, shooting in space, but the shot is dragged narrowly wide. Two chances in quick succession from the German international.
34'
Good strike by Mittelstädt
A Leweling cross from the right is half cleared by Hoffenheim, but only as far as Mittelstädt. The wide man strikes with his left, connecting well with the ball but Baumann just manages to tip it behind for a corner.
30'
Good delivery by Leweling
A dangerous, more direct cross comes in from the winger towards the penalty spot, but Hoffenheim are alert to the danger and it's cleared away.

Hložek heads
A cross comes in from the right and finds Hložek, who connects with the ball but can't generate enough power to trouble the keeper as Nübel gathers calmly.
18'
Settling
Following those two efforts that were cleared off the line, chances have since come at a premium and the game has just calmed down a little with the ball getting congested in the midfield.

Early change
After an earlier collision with Millot, Drexler is unable to continue due to a sustained knock, and is replaced with Chaves.

Another goal-line clearance!
A short corner taken by Stuttgart is worked to Stiller. He whips a ball in and Karazor rises highest, his header beating the keeper. But once again in the opening 10 minutes the ball is cleared off the line!

Blocked off the line!
A beautiful cross deep from Prass sends Hložek through! He touches it down, rounds the keeper and gets his shot off, but some heroic defending from Stuttgart has it blocked off the line. This is a good start here by Hoffenheim!
