The Kraichgauer simply do not have first clbad: Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim missed the fifth victory of the first victory in the Champions League. The 2: 3 (2: 2) against Schachtar Donetsk TSG failed in the group stage, the chances of the "consolation prize" of the Europa League are extremely bad. (The game in ticker gleanings)
Croatian Vice-Champion Andrej Kramaric (17th) and Swiss World Cup participant Steven Zuber (40th) scored for Hoffenheim. Ismaily (14th) and Taison (15th / 90th + 2) were successful for Donetsk. Adam Szalai, the TSG striker, saw the yellow-red card for a repeated game (60.) – TSG coach Julian Nagelsmann won it.
"The yellow-red card is in my eyes an absolute scandal, which was also not a yellow card," warms up the future coach of Leipzig. He also said: "We made our exceptional game outnumbered, but the ball just came in."
Nagelsmann shoots the referee
"This is a good referee, but it was not at the level of the Champions League," added Nagelsmann. DAZN in a significative way.
But even with the operation of his troop, Nagelsmann was unhappy. "It's also a quality late in the day to take advantage of the opportunities you play." Nevertheless, he could not blame his team, explained Nagelsmann.
The boys gave everything, it was not enough. It's bitter, "said Hoffenheim's coach.
Steven Zuber is also disappointed. "Once again, we played a very good game, but in the end, we decide little things," said the shooter.
"We lost our first 15 minutes," said Nico Schulz. "The second goal is my mistake," said the national team. It was just unfortunate.
In two weeks, the Hoffenheim must compete in Manchester City – and hope that Fernduell's Schachtar will still be at least eliminated from third place in Group F. "It's going to be tough, Manchester City is a good team," said Schulz. (SERVICE: The group table F)

Before the match, Nagelsmann's main concern was to control the defensive weakness of his team. "Basically, we just have to better defend, that's the key," said the 31-year-old, whose team has conceded nine goals in the previous four games.
Hoffenheim starts blurry
The pros obviously did not listen to their coach. The hosts, who lacked Dennis Geiger, Benjamin Huebner, Nadiem Amiri, Lukas Rupp, Joelinton and suspended Kasim Adams, were initially blurred. The weak initial phase of Hoffenheim was immediately sanctioned by Donetsk. (SERVICE: Results and schedule)
In both quick goals, the defense's behavior was still mediocre. Captain Kevin Vogt, Harvard Nordtveit and international Nico Schulz do not look attractive. Nevertheless, the Kraichgauer were in front of 22,920 spectators in the Rhein-Neckar-Arena who were only briefly shocked. Kramaric brought the TSG back to the game after Ishak Belfodil's preparatory work with a jack to watch.

Hoffenheim stronger after the break
About ten minutes later, the Hoffenheims were lucky that Junior Moraes got closer to the goal of the TSG (28). After this scene, it did not happen much. The Nagelsmann team did almost nothing in attack. There was virtually nothing to do in the game and creativity. Compensation through the Zubers header was rather a coincidence.
At the beginning of the second half, the Hoffenheim increased the number of hits and put pressure on the Ukrainians. The leader of the club's majority shareholder Dietmar Hopp was in the air. However, the emergency period ended without the TSG being affected. Instead, the Hoffenheims had only ten men on the field, Szalai quickly committing two fouls sanctioned by referee Ivan Kruzliak (Slovakia) of a yellow-red.
Despite the shortfall, Zuber had almost shot Hoffenheim in the lead, but the Swiss had only hit the crossbar (69). Subsequently, the Kraichgauer continued its efforts to reach the third goal, but over time the forces decreased. Just before the final whistle, the guests hit the post. A little later, Taison destroyed all the dreams of the Kraichgauer.
