German Bundesliga
Prass scores in Hoffenheim’s victory over Werder!
Coach Christian Ilzer and TSG Hoffenheim continued their winning streak in Germany's Bundesliga on Tuesday, thanks in part to a goal from Austrian international Alexander Prass!
With a 2-0 win at Werder Bremen, their fourth victory in a row, they successfully defended third place despite being a man down for almost 40 minutes. Fourth-placed RB Leipzig lost ground with a 1-1 draw at relegation candidates St. Pauli and are now two points behind Hoffenheim.
Bremen still only three points above the relegation zone
In the postponed match of the 16th round, Prass put his club on the road to victory with his first goal for the Kraichgauers (44th minute). Shortly after Wouter Burger was sent off (52nd minute), Grischa Prömel (54th minute) sealed the final score. The supposed equalizer by Prass's Austrian national teammate Romano Schmid (63') was disallowed by VAR due to offside. Bremen, who were without the suspended Marco Friedl and brought on Marco Grüll after an hour, remain just three points above the relegation zone.
Leipzig got off to a promising start at St. Pauli with a shot from Alexander Schlager (8th minute) that hit the post, and took the lead through Yan Diomande (66th minute). But Ole Werner's team was unable to build on that. In stoppage time, the home side scored a well-deserved equalizer through a penalty kick by Martijn Kaars. They are currently one point away from the relegation spot and four points behind 15th-placed Bremen. Schlager and Nicolas Seiwald played the entire game for Leipzig, while Christoph Baumgartner played until the 85th minute.
