Hertha Berlin lose to Hoffenheim but stay up

Hertha Berin stay up on goal difference despite a narrow 2-1 defeat to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.

Roberto Firmino's late goal has given Hoffenheim a narrow 2-1 win over Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga.

The visitors almost took the lead in the second minute through Marvin Plattenhardt, but his free kick was inches too high.

Hoffenheim scored shortly after as Firmino found Anthony Modeste in the box, and he smashed a low shot into the corner of the net.

Hertha Berlin continued to create chances as Saloman Kalou went close with a header, before Nico Schulz was thwarted by Oliver Baumann.

Neither side could get a grip of the second half, until the away team equalised as Roy Beerens twisted and turned in the box before firing a low effort across the keeper and into the bottom corner.

However, the hosts regained the lead as Firmino slotted the ball in from close range off a rebound.

Despite the loss, Berlin have survived and will play in the Bundesliga again next season.
