00:00On a losing streak at home and abroad, the Germans badly need a result against Besiktas this evening.
00:07But getting one will not be easy.
00:09The black have been virtually the same side that started in the Bundesliga last weekend.
00:13With two major exceptions in their hour of need, the call has gone out to 35-year-old Andrej Kramaric.
00:20Vatslan Cerny is injured, so Ilhan Fakula starts on the right.
00:24And Dushan Glaubic is unwell, leading to a start for South Korean international struggle.
00:36Hoffenheim in the darker kits tonight, almost purple.
00:40To the home side here.
00:43A little by Berger.
00:45It'll be a first opportunity for Hoffenheim, Bernardo put it into the box and it gets...
00:57Delivered by the Chikia International once again.
01:00Bernardo was there, but couldn't direct it, Golds.
01:11Kukchuk.
01:20Besiktas have been in magnificent form this season.
01:2311 wins from 14, in all competitions.
01:30So they...
01:31Besiktas corner.
01:34Bertu takes it himself.
01:38Hoffenheim clear.
01:51Besiktas has absolutely thrashed Marseille 4-1.
01:55And Istanbul on match day one, another good example of how they've been so deadly in front of going home
02:01matches this season.
02:02They've been averaging three goals a game at home.
02:09Away from Istanbul.
02:10It's not quite been so spectacular.
02:14Something that Italiano wants to improve upon.
02:22Arrived in the summer.
02:24Italiano after leaving Bologna.
02:26And Serie A by mutual consent.
02:32Moria turns cross.
02:34Dangerous one.
02:36Cavac got it.
02:37Advanced majority of that crowd noise you can hear is coming from the Besiktas fans.
02:43Quite a racket as Klojic goes through.
02:47Goalkeeper Neuble out of his ground.
02:49And it's back from Cramaric.
02:51Hoffenheim trying to lift the tempo.
02:55Hoffenheim out muscled.
02:57Great work.
02:58Hoffenheim in with a chance.
03:03That strange incident was the last act of the first half.
03:12Goalist as we go into the second half of this Europa League match day two game between Hoffenheim and Besiktas.
03:21Neatly done by Borilov.
03:25Fackler to his right.
03:28Here is the youngster driving across the face of goal.
03:35Probably a team.
03:38Now Trosser.
03:39He's in for Besiktas.
03:41Oh, he can't finish.
03:44Huge opportunity.
03:47Besiktas and Besiktas.
03:50Bursting between defenders.
03:53The goal was at his mercy.
03:57And he just shovels it wide at the target.
04:01Chance of the match so far.
04:04Fabio Moretti takes the corner short.
04:09It's Leandro Trosser.
04:11Delicate little flick.
04:12Big moment.
04:13Tucked away very nicely.
04:16By Amir Murillo.
04:20Amber Shiktas have their lead at last.
04:28The huge travelling following here.
04:33Magdoulahu.
04:35Not sure that Tim Lempola has touched it since coming on.
04:40He has now.
04:42It was a good pass too.
04:44It's opened things up for Hoffenheim.
04:46Oh, terrific finish by Fesnik Aslani.
04:50And Hoffenheim are level.
04:54A goal out of nothing really.
05:01Hoffenheim have created precious little.
05:06But Fesnik Aslani has just got them a huge goal.
05:14Beautiful little touch here by the substitute Lempola.
05:18Just there.
05:19Just there.
05:20Into the path of Aslani.
05:23Who turned well.
05:24And finished even better.
05:28Could be a turning point for Hoffenheim.
05:31In the game and in their season.
05:33It's Hoffenheim 1.
05:36Fesnik Aslani 1.
05:37Fesnik Aslani 1.
05:39Abdulahu couldn't get anything on it.
05:43Now Oli Atan.
05:46Great pace.
05:48Into the path of Ho.
05:49Who could win it here.
05:50Oh, brilliant finish.
05:52By Hyeong-Gyu.
05:56Besiktas with a marvellous goal.
05:59On the counter-attack.
06:04And they lead for a second time tonight.
06:08In Zinsheim.
06:14The lead restored.
06:22What a nuisance he's been tonight.
06:25That was not his finest hour.
06:27That finish.
06:29Interception by Murillo.
06:31Then releases Fakula.
06:35Oh!
06:37He's done it again!
06:43Hyeong-Gyu Oh at the double.
06:48And Besiktas lead by two.
06:55Hoffenheim look beaten now.
06:59And what a personal triumph it's been.
07:04Watara.
07:05Having a quick glance across to see.
07:08Who's available in the middle.
07:09Oh!
07:10And that was very nearly another one.
07:18Vladimir Sofaa will try again for Hoffenheim.
07:21Another good delivery.
07:23And they have pulled one back.
07:25It's Koki Machida.
07:27That makes the game of it.
07:31Only two minutes left.
07:33In normal time.
07:35And Hoffenheim.
07:37Have pulled themselves back.
07:39To within one goal.
07:44Towering header.
07:46From the Japanese central defender.
07:49Who hit the post in the first half.
07:54And they're not yet.
07:57Tressard.
07:58That was clever.
08:01And the Ritchie shot was well held by Bauman.
08:04On the league face table.
08:07Five goals in the final 30 minutes of this match day two game.
08:12Have a great weekend.
08:12Bye-bye.
08:13Bye.
08:14Bye.
08:17Bye.
