Europa League
Ilzer, AS Roma and Spurs in action from 18:45
Hoffenheim are threatened with elimination from the Europa League. TSG, coached by Christian Ilzer, conceded a 2:3 home defeat to Tottenham on Thursday and now only have a relatively small chance of making it into the top 24 and thus the play-offs before the final round of the league phase.
In addition to Spurs, Lyon (0-0 at Fenerbahce) and Viktoria Pilsen (2-0 against Anderlecht) are also through to the knockout phase, while prominent clubs such as AS Roma and FC Porto still have to worry.
Hoffenheim were classically outplayed in the first half when James Maddison (3rd) and Son Heung-Min (22nd) conceded goals. Anton Stach gave the hosts hope (68'), but Son struck again (77') after a Hoffenheim mistake in the build-up. The Germans' second goal through David Mokwa came too late (88').
Debut for Micheler
Ilzer had to make do without Alexander Prass, who was ill, but allowed Tyrolean Florian Micheler to make his debut in the Europa League from the 80th minute. The 19-year-old midfielder had already made one professional appearance in the Bundesliga and one in the DFB Cup this season.
Hoffenheim still have six points - three fewer than AS Roma, although the Italians are not yet certain of progressing after their 1-0 draw in Alkmaar. Things could also get tight for FC Porto, who are on eight points after a 1-0 home draw against Olympiakos Piraeus.
