Kramarić's spot-kick brace ensures Hoffenheim defeat Dortmund
The PreZero Arena has been been a happy hunting ground for Borussia Dortmund of late, winning on their last five trips to Sinsheim. Today proved different however, as the hosts ran out 2-1 victors courtesy of two Andrej Kramarić penalties.
Hoffenheim started like a house on fire, pinging the ball off the crossbar inside the first six minutes when Tim Lemperle latched onto Wouter Burger's cross. At the other end, Daniel Svensson couldn't keep his headed effort on target for the visitors.
The game's pace slowed down thereafter, with Dortmund next to threaten on a 25th-minute counterattack. Julian Ryerson and Marcel Sabitzer combined to release Fábio Silva, but the pace of the latter's delivery ultimately beat Maxi Beier at the back post.
Although Gregor Kobel spectacularly denied Andrej Kramarić a minute later, the hosts would take the lead from the penalty spot. A VAR call spotted Niklas Süle's handball three minutes before the break, with Kramarić able to pick out the right corner for 1-0.
