Kramarić fires TSG into Europe
Line-up
Head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo stuck with the same starting line-up for the third game in a row. It was the same 11 players that drew 1-1 against Leipzig and claimed a 6-0 win in Darmstadt.
The scenario
TSG had their fate in their own hands in the race for Europe. A win would mean Hoffenheim could not be ousted from seventh place. Everything from sixth to eighth place was possible before kick-off.
Moment of the match
The goal for 4-2: Andrej Kramarić pulled off his famous turn in the opposition box and then slotted into the bottom-right corner left-footed. Then it was clear: TSG Hoffenheim will play in European competition next season.
Number of the game: 4
TSG Hoffenheim will be involved in European competition for the fourth time in the club's history next season. TSG will play on the international stage again in 2024/25, after 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2020/21.
Scorer point run
Andrej Kramarić registered at least one scorer point for the seventh match in a row. The Croat assisted the goal to make it 2-1, then scored the goals for 2-2, 3-2 and 4-2 himself. The attacker amassed 12 scorer points (seven goals and five assists) in the season run-in.
Outlook
The season is over for TSG Hoffenheim and the focus will now be switched to the DFB-Pokal final. Because if Bayer 04 Leverkusen win against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, TSG Hoffenheim will play in the Europa League next season. If Kaiserslautern win, TSG will play in the Conference League.
