Michael Gregoritsch started in place of Lucas Höler upfront, and he and the team both had the aim to finally win in the Bundesliga again. After a short delay due to pyrotechnics in the Bochum end, SC initially had to excel in defence because it was the hosts who started more aggressively, let the ball do the running for them, and forced Noah Atubolu into a save after 14 minutes. Keven Schlotterbeck shot from the edge of the box and SC’s shotstopper turned the ball round the post for a corner.

One could say it is well deserved: Maximilian Beier was voted the “Rookie of the Month” for February by fans and experts. The TSG player beat Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig) and Max Finkgräfe (1. FC Köln) in the vote conducted by the German Football League (DFL). Beier scored three goals in February and is now Hoffenheim’s top scorer of the current Bundesliga campaign with 12 goals.

After delivering a strong second-half performance, SV Werder Bremen were unlucky to come away empty-handed from the matchday 25 clash against Borussia Dortmund at the wohninvest WESERSTADION. Donyell Malen put the visitors ahead with a skilful scissor kick in the 21st minute, which was followed by a second from youngster Jaden Sancho not long after (38’). Just before the break, Sabitzer was shown a straight red for a foul on Weiser (45’), giving Werder a numerical advantage in the second half. Although Justin Njinmah was able to fire one home for the Green-Whites (70’), luck wasn’t on Werder’s side on Saturday night, and they came away from the game empty-handed.

The head coach had the same squad on offer to face Heidenheim as in the 6-0 goalfest against Darmstadt last weekend. The hosts were without Mads Pedersen (suspended) and Patric Pfeiffer (thigh issue), as well as former FCH man Niklas Dorsch (foot). 

FCA needed just nine seconds to record their first chance of the afternoon, as Kevin Mbabu was able to get off a shot from inside the Heidenheim area. Finn Dahmen was then called up on parry a shot from Jan-Niklas Beste (10′), before the hosts would go on to take the lead. Arne Maier swung in a corner to the far post, where Jeffrey Gouweleeuw was there to meet it, netting his first goal of the season (23′). 

Augsburg had managed to score three set-piece goals in this season’s reverse fixture against Heidenheim, celebrating a 5-2 win in Thorup’s maiden game at the club. Dead balls are normally one of FCH’s strong suits as well, and travelled to Augsburg sitting in 11th place. The hosts were able to keep them quiet in the opening half, however, and took a 1-0 lead with them into the break. 

HOWEVER!
