What happened. Adam Hložek scored twice as Hoffenheim beat VfB Stuttgart 2-1 for their first Bundesliga win of the season. Hložek opened the scoring in the 13th minute and netted the winner in the 67th, after Maximilian Mittelstädt had equalised for Stuttgart.

• Hložek's first goal was his first Bundesliga strike since May 2025.
• Bambasé Conté made his second start for Hoffenheim, setting up the opener.
