Hoffenheim Win Streak: Hranáč & Coufal Impact

Hoffenheim took the lead three minutes before the break from a penalty converted by Kramarič. The same player then made it 2-0 before the break. The 34-year-old Croatian has already scored 134 goals in the Bundesliga, overtaking Giovane Élber and becoming the third best foreigner in history. Only Claudio Pizarro (197) and Robert Lewandowski (312) scored more goals.

The second half continued in the same spirit and after two minutes they added another goal for the home team when Leite headed Touré’s cross into his own net. Union eased the defeat with Khedira’s goal, but they failed to beat goalkeeper Baumann more than once and are still winless in 2026 (three draws, two defeats). Hoffenheim equaled a club record from 2017 with their seventh home win in a row. They are eight points behind leaders Bayern, who host Hamburg today.

Leipzig led from the 40th minute with a goal by Harder. At the end of the first half, however, Amiri equalized from the penalty spot, and in the 49th minute Mainz turned the score around with a goal by Silas, who replaced the injured Hollerbach in the 14th minute. In the 14th minute, through no fault of anyone else, he fell to the ground and screamed in pain, clutching his right calf. The Saxon club did not score again in the rest of the game and has not defeated today’s opponent at home since January 2022.

Leverkusen led 2-0 at halftime thanks to goals from Arthur and Tillman. Frankfurt reduced Koch in the 50th minute, but his efforts were thwarted twenty minutes later by the Tunisian Schirí, who saw two yellow cards within a few tens of seconds and was sent off. Moments later, the injured Kofane was replaced by Schick.

Eintracht have been waiting for a win for six games before the arrival of new coach Albert Riera and have fallen to eighth place. They lose to Bayer, who occupy the last cup, the sixth place, by eight points.
