Insanity is a flexible term, you can use this word to express the positive context as abbreviated as the negative. The enthusiastic version came from David Raum. “If you win a game like this with the last action – it’s definitely crazy,” said the Hoffenheim offensive defender after TSG’s 2-1 win at SC Freiburg. Chris Richards scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time. A huge header after Raum’s corner kick cross. Three points for Hoffenheim, nonetheless.

Freiburg were left empty-handed, losing a Bundesliga game which, according to their coach Christian Streich, they should have never lost. Madness! What is the problem! “The game was a draw,” said Stritch, grumbling about referee Frank Willenborg. “I understand a lot of things, but that’s where it ends.”

Hoeneß understands the brilliance of Streich

In a few scenes before TSG defender Chris Richards led the ball for Hoffenheim’s last second winning goal, Willenborg did not punish a jersey thrown by Kevin Vogt at Freiburg’s Lukas Höller, but immediately after Hoffenheim’s Sebastian. A hooker by Janik Haberer on Rudy. TSG took advantage of this. A free kick eventually brought it into the corner, making it 2–1 possible in the 94th minute, a fourth consecutive Hoffenheim win.

Trainer Sebastian Hoenes understood the emotional surge in Ally Stritch. “I can follow Christian’s idea,” he said. “I would definitely take the same approach in his position.”

Guests also get a little dizzy

Hoffenheim’s sense of happiness was great. On the one hand because it was a lucky win, which was done in favor of a slight lapse. According to Hoeneß, you “hit the lucky punch in the last second” and are therefore “extremely happy”. Yes, such successes make people happy.

Match winner Chris Richards said: “It’s always a great feeling when you can beat a team like this.” SC Freiburg had just humiliated Borussia Monchengladbach. A spectacular 6-0 win over the Lower Rhine. This time the Sports Club scored only one goal, with a header from Nico Schlotterbeck making it 1:1 (21st minute).

Next top match at Leverkusen on Wednesday

Hoffenheim are now fourth in the Bundesliga table and have pushed SC Freiburg to fifth. The next top match will be on Wednesday evening. TSG are then challenged at Bayer Leverkusen, who are third in the table.

Not only was the Hoffenheim goal too late in Freiburg, but also too early. David Raum scored the first goal 1-0 in the third minute of the game. It was his first goal in the Bundesliga for the youth international from Firth to TSG. Preparing hits is indeed a specialty of rum, but this time they did it differently. “I lay sideways so often that I thought to myself: I’ll take heart.” Shot down. Inside. did everything right.

Teammate Richards also managed to celebrate the first Bundesliga goal of his career. “You can never forget such a goal in your life.” It was “very special to me”. But first hits like this often cost a little money. It is clear to M/s Richards and Raum. “Me and David, we’ll have to spend some.”

Griffo rewards a penalty, Bauman saves

Vincenzo Griffo had nothing to celebrate. With an unfortunate Hoffenheim past the Freiburg leader missed a penalty. This had never happened to him in the Bundesliga before. Griffo had scored ten out of ten penalty kicks. But this time he failed because of TSG goalkeeper Oliver Baumann. After a good hour of play, it was not a 2–1 lead for the sports club. Griffo folded: “I’m really sorry.” Coach Stritch feuded. “If you take the penalty”, then “speaks a lot for us, because then we can go to the Switch game”. So close the back and wait for the counterattack.

but that did not happen. It was the fourth minute of stoppage time, much to Freiburg’s disappointment and much of Hoffenheim’s delight. David Raum said: “These are the moments when you play football.” Madness.
