17' The deadlock is broken! Kevin Volland gets on the scoresheet on 17 minutes.
22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

30' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Florian Grillitsch on 30 minutes.
35' The home supporters are growing impatient. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim must find a spark to ignite this game.
