As was the case in the first half, Hoffenheim's initial attack thrust has petered out. Breitenreiter reacts by bringing on Dabbur and Damar for Geiger and Baumgartner.

Doan ties Angelino in knots down the Freiburg right and cuts the ball back into the middle, where Kyereh collects. He tries to fashion space to shoot but ends up laying the ball off for Eggestein on the edge of the area and his low effort whizzes just wide.

Grifo dummies a ball into his path and space suddenly opens up for Günter just inside the Hoffenheim box. He shapes to shoot for the far corner but Vogt slides in from way out and makes a sensational block.

Hoffenheim have been on top in this second half so far and get their next sight of goal when a corner is only half cleared to Prömel, lurking just outside the box. He chests it down and shoots at goal but it loops well over the bar.

The Freiburg duo are often their team's route to scoring goals but they've been pegged back by Hoffenheim targetting that side of the pitch today. Normally Andre Breitenreiter's side produce 30% of their forward forays down the right; today it's been 50%.

The Austrian breaks into the left-hand side of Freiburg's box and draws Flekken out to him but lashes his shot over the bar.

The hosts had four shots on goal in the opening 12 minutes but have only mustered one since then, while the away side have had five of their own in the last 25 minutes or so.

Akpoguma tries to shield the ball out of play at the byline but Doan picks his pocket. He goes for a shot despite the tight angle but fires it straight at Baumann, who is able to clear.

Freiburg are pushing high up the pitch but are forced to track back after a long balll releases Rutter down the left. He's crowded out inside thebox by a combination of Sildillia and Ginter, but the latter's clearance is poor and lands straight at the feet of Kabak. He lets fly with a powerful drive from distance but it's wide of the target.
