"As often as Hoffenheim looked disorganized and lost, they also had moments of brilliance from players like Vladimír Coufal who kept the game alive. The right-back was constantly threatening with several attacking movements. Though he struggled to defensively hold the ship, he perhaps did most of the damage control - making key tackles and clearances. Following the entry of Andrej Kramaric, the team took on a more aggressive attacking style and this is where Coufal truly shone as well."
"For the first time in a while, this is truly a game for Kim Min-Jae where there are no critiques of his game. He has a strong performance, winning duels and making significant tackles. He had some phenomenal last-minute blocks in the box that truly deserve a rewatch. His passing was just as impressive, and so was his involvement in initiating attacking chances with long range passes. He anchored the defense and gave Manuel Neuer a relatively quiet afternoon."
Bayern Munich fielded a rotated side away at TSG Hoffenheim in a match that remained nearly even but favored Bayern slightly. Vladimír Coufal provided attacking threat and crucial defensive interventions, and his reaction after Andrej Kramaric's introduction produced Hoffenheim's lone goal. Kim Min-Jae delivered an outstanding defensive display, winning duels, making significant tackles and crucial last-ditch blocks while also contributing long-range passes that initiated attacks. The organized backline limited Hoffenheim chances and allowed Manuel Neuer a relatively quiet afternoon. A few Hoffenheim players still flashed quality amid overall inconsistency.
