Overview
- Besiktas beat Hoffenheim 3-2 in Sinsheim on Thursday with Hyeon-gyu Oh scoring twice to turn the game and becoming the decisive player.
- The loss deepens Hoffenheim's crisis, leaving the club with six defeats in seven matches and prompting public concern from players and staff.
- Oh's celebrations included removing his shirt and draping it over Hoffenheim's corner flag, an act that drew a booking from referee Lawrence Visser.
- Reports say roughly 17,000 Besiktas supporters made the sold-out PreZero Arena feel like an away team home, and the vocal crowd shaped the match atmosphere.
- Hertha's seven-game winning start in the 2. Bundesliga ended with a 0-0 at Holstein Kiel, a result that kept Hertha top of the table but exposed clear finishing problems and featured Timon Weiner's standout goalkeeping.
