FCA Hoffenheim beats 1-0 and remains undefeated – Europe in view!

Before the game at TSG Hoffenheim, Jess Thorup continued to be reluctant. Referred to the relegation not reached in the arithmetical relegation in the Bundesliga Or to the fact that participation in the European Cup is not issued as a solution. The focus would be on the next game, according to the coach of FC Augsburg. But the questions about an international competition should not be less. Because also in Hoffenheim, the impressive series of Augsburgers kept. The team did not win 1-1 (0-0), but remained undefeated in the eleventh league game. The series without a goal ended. A transformed penalty gave FCA goalkeeper Finn Dahmen the first goal after 684 minutes.

Thorup was lacking on the occasion to change something on his starting eleven. Therefore he trusted that eleven who Against VfL Wolfsburg 1-0 had won. Mergim Berisha had not taken a seat on the replacement bench. Thorup had announced a short -term decision whether the loan player from Hoffenheim could participate. This was negative. In the first few minutes, Berisha would not have enjoyed the game. The Augsburgers waited while the Hoffenheimers searched for playful solutions. Goalkeeper Finn Dahmen survived the initial phase without a goal and hired goal-blazing records by Manuel Neuer and Tim Wiese (619 minutes each). Later he overtook Oliver Reck (640).

FCA is lucky in the first half of a post hit

It was noted to the hosts that they had not won a home game since mid -November. Her offensive lectures did not seem convinced. At the same time, the guests were limited to the bare essentials in their attack campaigns. Turning, without the game, the first 20 minutes presented themselves in which TSG attackers Marius Bülter had the best chance by header (18th). Augsburg’s passivity would then have punished almost Bazoumana Touré. But Dahmen’s series held because the Hoffenheimer headed to the post (25th). A little later Bülter had the next chance, but made his direct acceptance (26th).

Neither captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw on the field nor Thorup on the sidelines liked the pomadious lecture, with waving poor they demanded more actionism. Happiness and Dahmen also prevented the deficit in the next attack (32nd). And the FCA? More than a blocked shot on the goal of the otherwise pale Alexis Claude-Maurice did not succeed until the break (37th). The Augsburgs flattered that it was 0-0 at the break.

Thorup reacted, Samuel brought dining to the disappointing Phillip Tietz. A few seconds after the restart, this measure was positive. The imposed Cédric Zesiger flanked, eating the ball out of the air and sank it in the short corner to 1-0 (46.). This goal left an impact on the Hoffenheimers, while the Augsburgers now got security in their game with their own ball.

Questionable penalty ended series by goalkeeper Finn Dahmen

Hoffenheim remembered little on the offensive for a long time, then it equalized. Chrislain Matsima blocked a shot from Dennis Geiger before Gouweleeuw jumped to the arm. Referee Tobias Reichel pointed to the penalty point with a delay – a discussable decision. TSG captain Andrej Kramaric stayed cool, loosely fell to 1-1 (71.). After 684 minutes of Dahmen’s record series.

Hoffenheim tried to score the decisive goal in the final phase. When Dahmen fisted and then scored Haris Tabakovic, the hosts demanded another penalty. However, this was rightly denied. So it stayed with the draw, which helped the Augsburgers more than Hoffenheim.
