Hoffenheim 4-2 Bayern (May 18, 2024) Game Analysis - ESPN

Bayern Munich slumped to a 4-2 defeat at Hoffenheim courtesy of a second-half Andrej Kramaric hat-trick in the Bundesliga finale on Saturday, ending a disappointing season in third place as coach Thomas Tuchel bowed out.

Early goals from Mathys Tel and Alphonso Davies saw an injury-depleted Bayern go 2-0 up after six minutes.

However, Hoffenheim pulled a goal back through Germany international Maximilian Beier just two minutes later, with the hosts gradually taking some of the early pace out of the game.

Kramaric then delivered a stunning 19-minute hat-trick with the Bayern defence in ruins, to send them down to third place on 72 points.

Bayer Leverkusen finished in top spot on 90 points. VfB Stuttgart finished runners-up on 73 with a 4-0 demolition of Borussia Moenchengladbach.
