"A fatigued but determined Bayern side were up against an in-form Hoffenheim and the keeper was the best of the lot. He made incredible saves, and even those that he missed (barring the penalties) were extremely close. Case in point, the last Diaz goal slipped past his fingers. Baumann has the distribution, the work rate and the reflexes to be a perfect #1 for Germany and tonight, he did his best."
"The defense featured Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Alphonso Davies and Josip Stanišić, with substitutions coming in later. The standout defender tonight was Stanišić, who held the defense together. The right-back was crucial in winning duels and making interceptions, the duels he got into were clean. Particularly a crucial challenge he made close to the box in the 10th minute was fantastic."
"Bayern Munich is in desperate need of points and desperation is an excellent driver. The gap between Bayern and Borussia Dortmund has narrowed and the Deustcher Meister need the points to maintain a strong Bundesliga campaign. Dropping points in previous games, morale also has been lower than usual. Bayern showed up and put an excellent fight at home against arguably one of the best Bundesliga teams this season in TSG Hoffenheim."
Bayern Munich entered the match desperate for points after dropped points and reduced morale, with the gap to Borussia Dortmund narrowing. Bayern beat TSG Hoffenheim 5-1 in an enthralling game that featured two penalties for Bayern, an early goal conceded from a Manuel Neuer error, and an extraordinary Luis Diaz performance. Oliver Baumann produced incredible saves and showed distribution, work rate and reflexes despite conceding five goals. Andrej Kramaric continued his scoring streak against Bayern. Josip Stanišić stood out defensively and in build-up, winning duels and making key interceptions. The award goes to Pavlović.
