Match Report
Hoffenheim squandered a golden chance to pull clear in the top-four race, throwing away a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with ten-man Stuttgart. Tiago Tomás broke the hosts' hearts with a stunning stoppage-time equalizer in a wild six-goal thriller at the PreZero Arena.
Andrej Kramaric got Hoffenheim rolling with a clinical opener (8'), before Bazoumana Touré (23') and a second Kramaric strike (47') built a 3-1 cushion despite Chris Führich's sharp counter (20'). Stuttgart captain Atakan Karazor was dismissed for a cynical foul, yet Ermedin Demirovic (72') pulled one back before Tomás pounced on a rebound deep in added time to complete the comeback.
The draw leaves both sides level on 58 points, with the battle for fourth place — and a Champions League spot — still unresolved heading into the final fixtures.
