Hoffenheim 2 - 1 Augsburg: Hoffenheim edge towards safety with victory over Augsburg
Posted Thursday, March 03, 2016 by PA
Hoffenheim boosted their survival hopes with a 2-1 win over Augsburg which drags the Bavarians into danger at the bottom of the table.
Kevin Volland put Hoffenheim in front midway through the first half when Marwin Hitz was unable to hold onto an Eduardo Vargas shot which came back at him off the post and Patrick Ochs picked up the loose ball to set up the striker.
Augsburg levelled before half-time with their captain Paul Verhaegh converting a penalty after Niklas Sule handled the ball inside the area.
Mark Uth put Hoffenheim back in front with less than 10 minutes still to be played, turning in Andrej Kramaric's cross having earlier hit the post, and it was enough to earn Julian Nagelsmann's men all three points and take them just two away from the relegation play-off berth and four behind their guests.
