The result was no fluke either as statistics show the hosts were in control for large portions of the game.

Hoffenheim produced 2.25xG from 13 chances with three big chances while Dortmund could only offer a paltry 0.7xG from their eight shots at goal.

This was despite the visitors holding the lion’s share of possession throughout the game.

The deadlock was broken by an Andrej Kramaric penalty in the 42nd minute and it seemed as if that might be enough to secure the win for the home side until Serhou Guirassy grabbed a late equaliser in the 87th minute.

However, just when it seemed as if Dortmund had rescued a point, Hoffenheim were awarded another penalty eight minutes into stoppage time at the end of the game, which Kramaric duly slotted to hand Hoffenheim a well-deserved win.
