TSG eSPORTS had already achieved their goal for the season ahead of the final weekend of the VBL Club Championship by WOW. By finishing fifth in the divisional phase and reaching the playoffs, our team more than lived up to expectations. At the big offline event at the Strassenkicker Base in Cologne, our trio went one better: TSG eSPORTS secured a place in the final by beating Schalke 04 in the play-offs on Friday and joined a final weekend line-up featuring the ten best teams in Germany. Although TSG were ultimately eliminated in the group stage, they can still look back with pride on an outstanding season. The new German Club Champion in eFootball is SC Paderborn 07, who dethroned RB Leipzig in the final.

Andrej Kramarić is known at TSG as a reliable penalty taker – and he proved it for the Croatian national team. After their match against Tunisia – played as part of a mini-tournament in Egypt – remained goalless, TSG’s record goalscorer converted his attempt in the penalty shoot-out to help Croatia reach the final against the hosts.

Serge Gnabry was lightning quick to react: after Nadiem Amiri had slipped a ball through to him, the 22-year-old looked up briefly, saw Leipzig keeper Péter Gulácsi standing a little too far in front of his goal, and then tried his luck from 43.5 metres out – with spectacular results. The ball took flight, dipped perfectly into the space between the goalkeeper’s gloves and the crossbar and rippled the back of the Leipzig net. 3-0 to TSG; the battle between two teams near the top of the table was decided. And TSG had a clear winner for their Goal of the Year, a real masterpiece created in the Kraichgau.

“We already had the clear goal of integrating Tim into our professional squad by the summer at the latest. However, due to our personnel situation, he has taken his chance now and earned this early step-up through his performance in training and his two very solid and refreshingly composed performances in the Bundesliga,” says Pellegrino Matarazzo, adding: “Integrating talented youngsters like Tim Drexler is an essential part of this club’s approach. I am convinced that Tim will continue to develop with us over the coming weeks and months and that we will really enjoy working with him.”

The schedule for the rest of the season has now been finalised. On Wednesday, the German Football League (DFL) announced the exact timings for matchdays 31, 32 and 33. TSG Hoffenheim will play twice on Friday and once on Sunday. All games on the final matchday, when TSG Hoffenheim host Bayern Munich (18 May), will as always be held simultaneously on Saturday at 15:30 CET.
