Incredibly Bitter: Ilzer's TSG Loses 2-0 Lead Due to Own Goal

Christian Ilzer and his TSG 1899 Hoffenheim must continue to wait for their first Bundesliga win.

In the top match of the second round, the Kraichgauer side lose 2-3 against Borussia Dortmund. Marcel Sabitzer (from the 89th minute) and Carney Chukwuemeka (not subbed in) are on the bench for BVB. Patrick Wimmer is in TSG's starting eleven, Alexander Prass is out injured.

In a first half where Hoffenheim kept the Black and Yellows well contained offensively, the only goal came shortly before the break. Avdullahu sensationally scores his first Bundesliga goal. After a pass from Coufal, the number six curls the ball semi-high into the left corner.

Shortly after the restart, Lemperle makes it 2-0, with Anton decisively deflecting the ball (54th minute).

Hoffenheim Gives Up Lead Again

Within five minutes, a BVB side thought to be dead and buried manages to equalize: First, Guirassy scores with a chip to reduce the deficit (61st minute), before the goalscorer becomes the provider shortly after. The striker perfectly sets up super-sub Silva with a through ball. The Portuguese equalizes with the help of the post.

In the end, it gets even more bitter for Hoffenheim: Shortly after a free-kick chance from Rots, Ilzer's team concedes the 2-3. Hajdari unluckily deflects a low cross from Nwaneri with a tackle into his own net (86th minute).

Another Goal Fest from Promoted Elversberg

After two matchdays, SV Elversberg is already known for high-scoring games. Following their 3-2 opening win against Leverkusen, the promoted side wins 4-3 at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Bolin (11th, 44th) and Scally (56th) score for Borussia. For Elversberg, Mokwa (29th), Krattenmacher (66th) and Keidel (80th) find the net. In stoppage time, Krattenmacher scores the 4-3 for the team featuring ÖFB keeper Kristof.
