TSG win thriller in Freiburg

Personnel & tactics:

Julian Nagelsmann made three changes to the starting XI that lost 3-1 against Bayern Munich when the Bundesliga restarted last weekend. The back four protecting shot-stopper Oliver Baumann consisted of Pavel Kaderabek, Kevin Vogt, Benjamin Hübner and Nico Schulz, while Dennis Geiger and Florian Grillitsch replaced Leonardo Bittencourt and Stefan Posch in a midfield three alongside Kerem Demirbay. Adam Szalai started in place of Ishak Belfodil and was joined up front by Andrej Kramaric and Joelinton.

Julian Nagelsmann switched to a back three after his team went 2-1 up, with Stefan Posch replacing Szalai and slotting into defence alongside Vogt and Hübner (64). The two final substitutions were like-for-like changes, with Nadiem Amiri (78) and Joshua Brenet (89) replacing Geiger and Schulz.

Moment of the match:

The fourth and final goal. Kerem Demirbay decided the outcome of an entertaining encounter with a thunderbolt from over 20 metres out.

Number of the game: 7

TSG Hoffenheim's 4-2 victory away to SC Freiburg finally put an end to their seven-match winless streak in the Bundesliga.
