Bakker equalized four minutes later and in the 56th minute Frimpong gave Bayer the lead. His shot got behind Pavlenko thanks to the significant contribution of the flowing defender Stark.
Hložek scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute with a header from the left side. The defeat of Bremen was mitigated by the penalty, the league’s top scorer Füllkrug.

Rönnow, who was catching brilliantly in the Union goal, was finally put through by substitute Wimmer six minutes before the end after two minutes on the pitch.
After losing 1:2 at Freiburg, Hoffenheim’s footballers fell to last place, Pavel Kadeřábek played the entire match in the visitors’ jersey. Freiburg started cautiously, even so they took the lead early on. After a pass from Grif, Hoffenheim goalkeeper Baumann and defender Brooks collided. Eggestein benefited from this and scored for the first time since December 2021. Stiller equalized shortly after the break. In the 84th minute, defender Kabak received a second yellow card, and five minutes later they took advantage of the home team’s power play.
