Nurnberg will be happy with the sole point they picked up in a goalless draw against Hoffenheim, which improves their chances of saving relegation this season. Home side goal keeper Raphael Schafer was instrumental in keeping the visitors at bay making sure that his side extended their run to three games without a loss.
Hoffenheim have now failed to find the back of the net in three consecutive games leaving them with only victory in the past seven games.
The visiting team had two golden opportunities to go ahead in the 13 minute but both shots sailed over the bar with the goalkeeper beaten. The visitors nearly went ahead in the 13th minute with two golden chances. And although they kept dominating the first half proceedings, still they could not develop straight forward chances.
Eduardo’s header from eight yards went wide to the right otherwise Hoffenheim could have had the winner seven minutes into the second half.
