TSG 1899 Hoffenheim defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3–0 in a home match on 25 October 2023, ending the German club’s eight‑game unbeaten run. The win was secured by a penalty from Andrej Kramaric, his 141st goal for Hoffenheim and the 1,000th Bundesliga goal scored by the club. The match was marred by a serious incident in the closing minutes. In a header duel, Max Moerstedt and Loïc Badé collided violently. Referee Robert Hartmann allowed play to continue, and Alexander Prass scored from the resulting attack. Shortly after, the Austrian striker celebrated the goal by removing his shirt, despite having received a yellow card in the first half. He was subsequently shown a second yellow, resulting in a red card. Badé suffered a severe injury from the collision and was taken off the field on a stretcher. Moerstedt, who had been knocked unconscious, returned to the pitch and scored the third goal, sealing the victory for Hoffenheim.
