Wolfsburg missed the chance to move up to third in the Bundesliga after playing to a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim on Monday night. Both sides were eager to return to winning ways as Wolfsburg drew with Fortuna Dusseldorf while Hoffenheim suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Freiburg, Coming into the encounter, Hoffenheim were the only side left in the league not have scored an away goal, but they fixed that statistic after opening the scoring on six minutes through Sebastian Rudy. Wolsfburg managed to overcome their slow start to the encounter to find the equaliser in the 36th minute, with Admir Mehmedi firing past Oliver Baumann. The hosts then took the lead three minutes later when Josip Breakalo slotted home from close range, but the celebrations were cut short after strike was disallowed. Hoffenheim went close to restoring their lead 10 minutes after the halftime break as Ishak Belfodil played in Dennis Geiger, who steered a close-range effort agonisingly wide at the far post. Both sides rang the changes as the second half continued, although the chances kept falling for the visitors who went close through Baumgartner in the 81st minute. However, neither outfit could find a winning goal in the latter stages of the half and were forced to settle for a share of the spoils
