Hoffenheim halt Bayern Munich's winning streak

Hoffenheim ended Bayern Munich's five-game winning streak after Andrej Kramaric scored the only goal of the game and Borussia Dortmund eased past Hamburger SV 3-0 in the 27th round of Bundesliga football action.

It was Hoffenheim who stopped Bayern Munich's run by reaping their first victory in 18 encounters between the two sides on Tuesday, reports Xinhua news agency.

Hoffenheim manager Julian Nagelsmann's men staged a faultless performance against the German giants and dictated the pace in the first half.

Kramaric almost opened the scoring eight minutes into the game before Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich was on guard to deny Nadiem Amiri his side's best chance following a one-on-one in the ninth minute. As the match progressed, Bayern seemed to gain more and more control, but it was the hosts who broke the deadlock as Andrej Kramaric hammered home Mats Hummels' clearance from 18 meters in the 21st minute.

The Bundesliga front-runners remained unimpressed and kept it bowling, while Hoffenheim remained dangerous on the counterattack. Kerem Demirbay should have doubled the lead but Ulreich defused the effort from close range in the 41st minute.
