1899 Hoffenheim cruised to a dominant 3-0 win over SC Freiburg, powered by a powerful second-half display and two crucial assists from VladimÃr Coufal.
1899 Hoffenheim produced a commanding performance at the PreZero Arena on Saturday, defeating regional rivals SC Freiburg 3-0. A quick brace early in the second half decided the Bundesliga game.
Hoffenheim entered the match in formidable form, sitting third in the Bundesliga with five consecutive wins. Seventh-placed Freiburg looked for points to strengthen their push for European qualification.
The home side thought they had an early lead in the 5th minute thanks to Andrej Kramarić. However, the VAR intervention correctly ruled out the goal for offside, keeping the score level.
The first half was a tight match, marked by strong challenges. Hoffenheim’s Bazoumana Touré and Grischa Prömel received yellow cards in the 9th and 24th minutes.
Despite Hoffenheim’s dominance of possession, the tie remained at half-time. Both teams knew that the next goal would be crucial in this highly contested derby.
Hoffenheim quickly broke the deadlock just after the restart in the 46th minute. Fisnik Asllani scored the first goal, taking advantage of a strong assist from VladimÃr Coufal.
The drive went firmly Hoffenheim’s way five minutes later. Defender Ozan Kabak headed in a second goal in the 51st minute, again assisted by the impressive Coufal.
Freiburg struggled to respond, making several substitutions to provide fresh impetus. However, Hoffenheim’s defense held firm, thwarting their attempts to find a way back into the game.
As the game wound down, substitute Valentin Gendrey added a third for Hoffenheim in injury time. His shot at 90+5 minutes off an assist from Anton Prass sealed a complete victory.
The statistics underlined Hoffenheim’s superiority, with 62% possession and 25 total shots compared to Freiburg’s 12. Their xG of 1.8 far outstripped Freiburg’s 0.71, reflecting their attacking threat.
This emphatic victory consolidates Hoffenheim’s position in the top three of the Bundesliga. It represents a blow to Freiburg’s European aspirations, leaving them much to think about.
