This goal further solidified Hoffenheim's dominance and ensured they maintained control of the game.
The match was characterized by high intensity and constant pressure from both sides. Hoffenheim's attacking play was relentless, with Kramarić and Baumgartner contributing significantly to the scoring. Their performances were complemented by strong defensive work from the team, particularly from midfielders like Max Kruse and Julian Brandt, who helped maintain possession and prevent any反击 opportunities for Hertha BSC.
