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

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

TSG 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 in the 26th minute, putting the hosts firmly in command. The first half ended with Hoffenheim extending their advantage to 3-0 through an own goal in the 45th minute, capping a dominant opening period where they dictated the tempo.

The second half saw both teams make several substitutions, with Hoffenheim bringing on players like A. Kramaric and M. Moerstedt around the hour mark, while Augsburg introduced changes at half-time. Despite Augsburg’s efforts to mount a comeback, including a disallowed goal for offside by S. Essende in the 83rd minute, Hoffenheim maintained their clean sheet. A yellow card to Hoffenheim’s M. Moerstedt in the 74th minute was the only notable disciplinary action, as the hosts comfortably saw out the victory.

Hoffenheim’s 60% possession underlined their control of the game, allowing them to create more scoring opportunities as evidenced by their seven corners compared to Augsburg’s two. Although Augsburg recorded an impressive 75 successful dribbles against Hoffenheim’s 33, this individual flair did not translate into meaningful attacks, contributing to their failure to score. The hosts also benefited from one recorded assist, while Augsburg had none, highlighting Hoffenheim’s more effective teamwork in the final third.

Substitutions played a role in maintaining momentum, with both sides using all five available; for Hoffenheim, A. Kramaric came on for F. Asllani at 59’, M. Moerstedt replaced B. Toure at 60’, O. Kabak entered for Bernardo at 72’, A. Prass took over from G. Promel at 72’, and M. Damar substituted for T. Lemperle at 85’. Augsburg’s changes included K. Jakic replacing M. Komur at 46’, E. Rexhbecaj coming on for H. Massengo at 46’, P. Tietz entering for D. Giannoulis at 71’, M. Wolf replacing C. Zesiger at 72’, and A. Claude-Maurice taking over from A. Kade at 82’, but these failed to shift the game’s balance. Only one yellow card was issued, to Hoffenheim, with no reds or penalties influencing the result.

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 set the tone for Hoffenheim’s dominance. W. Burger then added a second in the 26th minute without an assist, further solidifying their lead, before an own goal in the 45th minute effectively sealed the win. Substitutions around the 60-minute mark, including M. Moerstedt coming on for B. Toure, helped Hoffenheim manage the game, though Moerstedt received a yellow card for a foul in the 74th minute.

A potential turning point for Augsburg was thwarted in the 83rd minute when S. Essende’s goal was disallowed for offside following a VAR check, denying them a consolation. Half-time changes for Augsburg, such as K. Jakic replacing M. Komur, aimed to inject energy, but Hoffenheim’s structured approach ensured no further breakthroughs.

TSG Hoffenheim lined up in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation, which provided a solid defensive base while allowing creative freedom in midfield. The understanding between W. Burger and B. Toure proved effective, with Burger’s involvement in both scoring and assisting key to their success.

FC Augsburg deployed a 3-4-2-1 shape, focusing on width through the wing-backs to support their forward line. Despite strong individual dribbling efforts, the setup struggled to break down Hoffenheim’s defence, limiting their attacking partnerships.

W. Burger earned Man of the Match honours for his pivotal role in Hoffenheim’s victory, scoring one goal and providing the assist for another in the first half. His composure in midfield helped dictate the game’s pace, and although he remained on the pitch throughout, his contributions were central to the clean sheet and comfortable win.
