Huocun coach Rangnick continued to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, Nelson replaced Jaisler with a torn cruciate ligament and a central defensive combination with Comper, in midfield, Weiss, Eduardo and Salihovic's strongest Hoffenheim combination returned to the starting lineup, and the Brazilian teenager Wellington and Edu and Xiao Qing on the front line teamed up with three arrows, Sanogo is very tragic, although he scored on his debut at Hoffenheim, but it seems to have spent all his luck completely, and his current performance is really not stable.

Hoffenheim still took the initiative in this game, because the midfield is almost the strongest combination of the team, and now this lineup is Ibisevic is not there, if Gustavo is still suspended, or Hoffenheim will be able to reproduce the invincible attacking combination in the first half of the game.

The atmosphere at the Rheinnecka Stadium is quite hot, Hoffenheim have publicly shouted the slogan of winning the championship, and they are still six points clear of the second-placed team with only eight league games remaining.

Hoffenheim at home started with a strong attack, and the away team Bochum was based on a solid defense, although the players of the Bochum team tried very hard to stabilize the defense, but they were quite passive in the game, and the Hoffenheim players were secretly happy, originally they were always attacked by injuries in the second half of the game, and they basically always had players injured, but now, they are fine, and the players of the Bochum team have suffered.

The sixth minute of the game. Edu received Xiao Qing's pass and broke through to the right side of the penalty area and slid out of the net from long range, Hoffenheim.

In fact, Hoffenheim's actions may indeed be a bit big under the crazy pressing, because of their crazy attack because of their crazy pressing, although Hoffenheim did get some players in the previous game; But in the second half of the game, it was Hoffenheim's players who were injured and they played the tragic role of missing the game due to injury. And now that Hoffenheim have the upper hand in a reasonable collision, it may be able to show that Hoffenheim is really out of the trouble of injury, and now they finally don't need to worry about bad luck again!

Hoffenheim had the advantage in the game, and although the game was only at the beginning, they began to suppress the Bochum team; Now, coupled with the fact that Bochum's main midfielder was unexpectedly unable to continue due to injury at the beginning of the game, this naturally made the morale of Hoffenheim's players even higher, and they did have more confidence at this time.

In the twenty-third minute of the game, the home team got a great opportunity, Xiao Qing and Edu suddenly switched positions, Xiao Qing broke through the cross with the ball on the side, Demba Ba crossed from the side, and the outflanked Salihovic missed the ball under the interference of Bochum goalkeeper Fernandes, but Hoffenheim youngster Wellington could not keep up, he missed the outflanking of the empty goal, and he wasted a chance to score.

Although the team failed to score, although it was indeed a squandered chance, the morale of the Hoffenheim players was still high, and they were determined to win this game, and they believed that this game would be won by them.

In the thirtieth minute of the game, Eduardo and Salihovic combined and shot at goal, and the ball missed the post again; Five minutes later, Xiao Qing received the ball in front of the penalty area and turned to shoot into the penalty area, but the Bochum goalkeeper lifted the ball off the crossbar with both palms; In the 41st minute, Huo Cun lost a good chance to score again, Xiao Qing rampage in front of the penalty area, and the Bochum team's defensive focus was completely focused on him, but at this time, Xiao Qing suddenly crossed, and Eduardo's threatening long-range shot outside the penalty area was firmly saved by Fernandez.

Although it is true that Hoffenheim has not scored a goal now, the atmosphere at the Rheinneckar Stadium is extremely hot, because the current Hoffenheim offensive is like a tide, because the current Bochum team is simply unable to parry; At this time, Hoffenheim fans have reason to believe that Hoffenheim will definitely be able to score, and they are confident that the team can continue to win in this round of matches and sit firmly at the top of the table to attack the championship!

Although Hoffenheim are scoreless now, it doesn't matter, the Hoffenheim players believe they will have a chance to score in the next leg, and they believe that with a little more effort and seriousness, then they can still take the lead in the game. For this victory, the Hoffenheim players are determined to win!

There was not much time left in the first half, but the Hoffenheim players were confident that the victory would be theirs and that the goal was coming.

In the forty-third minute of the game, Salihovic burst into the front, Xiao Qing, who received Salihovic's hanging pass, did not hesitate to volley directly, although Xiao Qing's shot was very sudden, but the Bochum goalkeeper Fernandes, who performed eye-catching in this game, once again saved Xiao Qing's shot from the bottom line.

Xiao Qing watched Fernandez get up and keep clenching his fists and shouting loudly, Xiao Qing was indeed a little depressed, but now Xiao Qing is more motivated; There's no way he's going to let Fernandes be so flamboyant, there's no way he's going to watch Fernandez continue to perform like this. Xiao Qing needs to help his team score, so he must beat Bochum goalkeeper Fernandes!

Eduardo is ready to take a corner kick, this time Xiao Qing did not squeeze in front of the goal, Xiao Qing stood in the hinterland of the penalty area to contain the defense of the Bochum team, although Xiao Qing may fight for the top in front of the goal will give the Bochum team a huge pressure on the defense, but now Xiao Qing can make his teammates in front of the goal less defensive pressure, after all, even if Xiao Qing did not compete in front of the goal, but he can still give the Bochum team huge pressure, and the defense of the Bochum team cannot not pay attention to Xiao Qing.

Eduardo's corner kick was indeed a straight shot to the far point of the goal, and it seemed that Xiao Qing was just a diversion point in the corner kick attack this time; But when Teber's header was back, all the Hoffenheim fans were excited when they saw Xiao Qing striding towards the small penalty area.

Although Teber's header was a little sudden, although the quality of his header back may not be too high under the interference of the Bochum defenders, it doesn't matter, Xiao Qing is still sure that he can convert this opportunity into a goal!

Xiao Qing's speed was very fast, when the ball fell, when the ball was about to land, although the defenders of the Bochum team at this time had rushed out in order to block Xiao Qing's shooting space, Xiao Qing suddenly stretched out his right foot, and his instep slightly picked up the ball.

Xiao Qing volleyed a cushion, the defenders of the Bochum team were caught off guard, they didn't expect Xiao Qing's shot to come so suddenly, and more importantly, the Bochum goalkeeper Fernandes, who had performed eye-catching before, was completely deceived this time, he didn't expect Xiao Qing's shooting method to choose to shoot at all! So although he jumped up in a hurry, he still couldn't stop the ball from grazing the crossbar with his fingertips and into the net!

Xiao Qing was excited after the goal because he helped the team take the lead, and also because Anna was on the scene; And Hoffenheim fans are also very excited, a 1-0 lead is enough to ensure that the team has taken the lead in this game, they believe that the team will definitely be able to win this game, Hoffenheim has already made efforts in the championship battle, they have further grasped the initiative!
