Overview
- Hoffenheim, which beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 on Saturday, won through two VAR-awarded handball penalties that Andrej Kramarić converted.
- The first spot kick followed a review of Niklas Süle’s handball before halftime, and the winner came in stoppage time after Julian Ryerson was penalized.
- Serhou Guirassy had drawn Dortmund level in the 87th minute with a low strike from the edge of the box.
- The result leaves Dortmund 12 points behind Bayern with four matches left, so a single point in Bayern’s next game at Stuttgart would clinch the title.
- Hoffenheim’s victory strengthens their push for a top-four finish, and the day also saw Marie-Louise Eta debut as Union Berlin coach in a 2-1 loss to Wolfsburg.
