Match Report
Hoffenheim secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Werder Bremen at the PreZero Arena, with the match defined by two early flashpoints that left the visitors on the back foot from the very start.
Yukinari Sugawara was sent off for Werder Bremen after just five minutes following a VAR review, leaving his side to fight for over 85 minutes with ten men. Hoffenheim made their numerical advantage count in the 26th minute when Bazoumana Touré converted after a neat assist from Andrej Kramarić. Frustration mounted in the away camp as Cameron Puertas picked up a booking for time wasting and manager Daniel Thioune was also shown a card from the touchline.
The win keeps Hoffenheim firmly in contention for European qualification, while Werder Bremen, sitting 15th with the season nearing its end, have little room for error in the final weeks.
