BERLIN - Hoffenheim scored a 90th-minute equaliser through Andrej Kramaric to snatch a 1-1 draw against visitors RB Leipzig on May 3, snapping their opponents' four-game winning run in the Bundesliga and leaving them in fourth place.

Benjamin Sesko headed in after 38 minutes – his fifth league goal from a header this season – to give Leipzig, who have already secured next season's Champions League participation, the lead.

The visitors, however, were left with 10 men when Xavi Simons was sent off with a second yellow card in the 72nd minute and Hoffenheim made the extra man count when Kramaric headed in the equaliser from a Marius Buelter cross.

Hoffenheim are seventh on 40 points while Leipzig are fourth on 63 points, one behind VfB Stuttgart who are in action against Bayern Munich on May 4. REUTERS
