Hoffenheim 3-0 FC Augsburg: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Hoffenheim 3-0 FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 29 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Hoffenheim took control early in the match, opening the scoring in the 16th minute when B. Toure found the net with an assist from W. Burger. They doubled their lead ten minutes later as W. Burger scored unassisted in the 26th minute, capitalising on Augsburg’s defensive lapses. The first half ended with Hoffenheim extending their advantage to 3-0 through an own goal in the 45th minute, setting a dominant tone before the break.

The second half saw Augsburg make tactical changes at the interval, but Hoffenheim maintained their grip despite substitutions around the hour mark. A yellow card to Max Moerstedt in the 74th minute added some tension, yet Augsburg failed to create meaningful chances. Further changes from both sides in the latter stages did little to alter the flow, with Hoffenheim comfortably seeing out the win.

Hoffenheim’s 60% possession underlined their dominance, allowing them to dictate the tempo and create more opportunities, as evidenced by their seven corners compared to Augsburg’s two. While Augsburg edged successful dribbles at 70 to Hoffenheim’s 45, this did not translate into attacking threat, with Hoffenheim recording one assist and no goals conceded. The single yellow card for Hoffenheim and five substitutions each highlighted a match where tactical adjustments failed to shift momentum for the visitors.

Substitutions played a role in maintaining energy levels, with Hoffenheim seeing A. Kramaric replace F. Asllani at 59 minutes and M. Moerstedt come on for B. Toure a minute later, followed by O. Kabak for Bernardo and A. Prass for G. Promel at 72 minutes, and M. Damar for T. Lemperle at 85 minutes. Augsburg responded with E. Rexhbecaj replacing H. Massengo and K. Jakic for M. Komur at 46 minutes, P. Tietz for D. Giannoulis at 71 minutes, M. Wolf for C. Zesiger at 72 minutes, and A. Claude-Maurice for A. Kade at 82 minutes, but these changes could not spark a comeback.

The match’s decisive moments came in the first half, starting with B. Toure’s goal in the 16th minute, assisted by W. Burger, which broke the deadlock and shifted momentum firmly to Hoffenheim. W. Burger then added a second unassisted in the 26th minute, exploiting space in Augsburg’s defence, before an own goal in the 45th minute sealed a commanding lead. Key substitutions, such as A. Kramaric replacing F. Asllani at 59 minutes and M. Moerstedt for B. Toure at 60 minutes, helped Hoffenheim manage the game, while Max Moerstedt’s yellow card at 74 minutes was a minor disruption without altering the outcome.

Augsburg’s halftime changes, with E. Rexhbecaj replacing H. Massengo and K. Jakic for M. Komur at 46 minutes, aimed to inject energy but yielded no breakthrough. Later swaps, including P. Tietz for D. Giannoulis at 71 minutes, failed to create turning points, leaving Hoffenheim’s early goals as the defining factors in a one-sided affair.

Hoffenheim lined up in a 4-3-1-2 formation, with a solid midfield trio providing balance and support to the attacking pair upfront. Standout partnerships included the link-up between B. Toure and W. Burger, which proved effective in breaking down Augsburg’s defence early on.

FC Augsburg deployed a 3-4-2-1 shape, relying on wing-backs for width and two attacking midfielders to feed the lone striker. Defensive partnerships in the back three aimed for stability, but they struggled to contain Hoffenheim’s forward movements throughout the game.

W. Burger earned Man of the Match honours for his influential performance, scoring one goal and providing an assist for the opener. His composure in midfield helped Hoffenheim maintain control, dictating play and contributing directly to two of the three goals.
