Tottenham Hotspur vs TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

A day after Tottenham's comfortable 3-0 win at the stadium, the two sides met again behind closed doors at Hotspur Way and this time couldn't be separated, sharing the points in a 2-2 draw built around wholesale squad rotation on both sides. The closed-doors clash burst into life early. Adam Hlozek sent Hoffenheim ahead from the penalty spot in the 16th minute, only for Ben Davies to restore parity four minutes later, finishing off a Matheus Fernandes assist to make it 1-1. Both benches used the fixture to get minutes into players who hadn't featured the previous day, with further goals arriving before full time to complete the 2-2 scoreline. With pre-season winding down, the result mattered less than the minutes. Roberto De Zerbi got a look at squad players building fitness ahead of the Premier League opener, while Hoffenheim used the double-header to sharpen cohesion across their group before their own domestic campaign gets underway.
