Hoffenheim 2-3 Dortmund: sharper shots erase a two-goal deficit

AI-written review based on match data · How we make it

Key numbers

  • xG 2.02 v 1.17: Dortmund's chances were better
  • xG per shot 0.18 v 0.07
  • Led for only about 4 minutes, still won

Dortmund recover from two goals down

Hoffenheim scored in the 45th and 54th minutes to build a two-goal lead in Sinsheim. Serhou Guirassy and Fábio Silva then levelled by the 66th minute, and Albian Hajdari turned the ball into his own net in the 86th. It was a comeback on the road that leaves Hoffenheim pointless after two matches.

Hoffenheim shot more, Dortmund shot better

Hoffenheim had more of the ball and more shots, yet their xG per shot was 0.07 against Dortmund's 0.18. Dortmund took a large share of their efforts from inside the box, 91% of them. That gap helps explain why they finished with the higher xG despite having only 40% of possession.

A defender and a substitute drive the response

The recovery began with Waldemar Anton, who set up Guirassy's goal in the 61st minute. Substitute Fábio Silva then levelled in the 66th from Guirassy's pass, after 28 minutes on the pitch in total. Julian Ryerson created four chances, the most of any player. Anton's assist started it all.

An own goal ends a level contest

With the score at 2-2, the own goal in the 86th minute cost Hoffenheim −1.0 FN xPts, as a draw turned into a defeat. Dortmund now top the table while Hoffenheim, who led for roughly 21 minutes, are pointless after two matches.

Player of the match
Waldemar Anton 8.5Dominant

He topped the FN Score with seven interceptions and an assist.

Anton made nine defensive actions, the most in the match, and won seven of his ten duels. Those numbers are the bulk of his rating, but he also supplied the pass for Guirassy's goal in the 61st minute. That goal began a recovery that brought the equaliser in the 66th minute and the winner in the 86th.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
