Despite a lot of unrest in the area, 1899 Hoffenheim started the new Bundesliga season with a 3-2 win against Holstein Kiel. The naive newcomer from Kiel plays the welcome opponent. Andrej Kramaric scored two goals on Matchday 1 (6th, 37th minute) to give Hoffenheim a 2-0 half-time lead. Alexander Bernhardsson (63′) scored the next goal and the first Bundesliga goal for Holstein Kiel. Kramaric restored the old gap in the final phase with his third goal (87th), Shuto Machino was only able to shorten the gap again (89th). At this point the guests were already outnumbered and Andu Kelati (82′) had to leave the field with a yellow-red card. The Hoffenheim team’s feared false start after a lot of unrest in the club’s environment did not occur.

Kiel’s keeper Timon Weiner rushed out of the box, but was too late to beat Marius Bülter, who simply passed the ball and then willingly let the Kiel keeper clear it. Kramaric confidently converted the penalty. The early lead seemed like a gift for the Hoffenheim team – and didn’t cause any nervousness at all: after difficult preparation with the release of long-time sports director Alexander Rosen. The following protests by the Hoffenheim fan scene were viewed by Hoffenheim’s management as a “declaration of war”. Officials had even feared that the game would be abandoned in advance. During the 90 minutes, however, there was a silent protest from the fans in the home block. Because only just under 1,500 fans from Kiel came to the first Bundesliga game in the club’s history, there was a relaxed summer festival atmosphere for long stretches. It took the guests almost half an hour to overcome their reticence. Shortly after Kiel’s first chance, in which Timo Becker was denied by Hoffenheim’s keeper Oliver Baumann, Hoffenheim punished the promoted team’s naive defensive behavior for the second time: Bülter was allowed to cross unhindered, Patrick Erras lost sight of Kramaric, and Hoffenheim’s striker scored his second goal with a header . Sebastian Prass, Adam Hlozek and again Kramaric missed further great chances before the break – against an overwhelmed Kiel defense. Hoffenheim also missed the possible preliminary decision after the break – and thus paved the way for Kiel to get back into this game: Substitute Finn Porath caused danger with his crosses, one of which was caught by Bernhardsson with his head. It was Kiel’s turn again, but continued to act naively: Just a few minutes after the first warning, Kelati got away with a very risky entry against Krass Yellow-Red – in the turbulent final phase, Kiel, being outnumbered, was no longer enough for a respectable success.
