Hoffenheim's lead did not falter. They continued to maintain their grip on the game and came out firing again towards the end of the game. Kramaric, the star player of the game, stepped up again. With an individual display of power, he broke through the defense and calmly shot home to complete his hat-trick and make the score 3-1.
Despite the fact that the Holstein Kiel team fought hard in the final stages of the game, and even helped Shudo Machino to score another goal through Lemberg's assist to close the gap to one goal, they were unable to change the defeat in the end. As the final whistle blew, Hoffenheim opened the new season with a 3-2 victory. Kramaric's performance was the highlight of the match.
