BL: Hoffenheim hung by Mainz

Faced with Mainz this Sunday on the occasion of the 12th day of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim confirmed their surprising aversion to home matches. Worst team in the championship at home but third best team away from home, the German club had to settle for a draw (1-1) against the 16th in the Bundesliga. And the bill could even have been higher.

Surprised by a goal from Marco Richter (39th, 0-1), Pellegrino Matarazzo’s players reduced the gap at the start of the second half thanks to Dane Robert Skov (49th, 1-1). However, they will have to give thanks to their goalkeeper Oliver Baumann, decisive from the penalty spot in front of Barkok at the end of the match (69th). With this result, Hoffenheim is in 6th position while Mainz, 16th and play-off, remains just above the waterline.
