Game one after the announced farewell to Leipzig boss Oliver Mintzlaff (47), who will be one of three heads of the entire Red Bull group.
Leipzig won 3-1 in Hoffenheim and is now unbeaten in eleven games in a row.
The game is overshadowed by the horror of Hoffenheim’s World Cup candidate Grischa Prömel (27).

13. Minute: Prömel in a duel with Leipzig’s Olmo. Team-mate Baumgartner also wants to clear things up, rushes in at full speed and unhappily straddles Prömel. The midfielder stays on the ground, immediately showing that he has to leave the field. Prömel also hints that something must be broken.
The possible World Cup driver is transported away with the stretcher. Even guest trainer Marco Rose (46) applauds sympathetically.
The diagnosis: broken ankle! Hoffenheim coach André Breitenreiter: “The team-mates saw it. It didn’t go unnoticed by them.”
Leipzig celebrates its first away win thanks to double packer Nkunku (17th/57th) and striker Spaniard Dani Olmo (69th). Rutter scores for Hoffenheim (50th).
Mintzlaff wins the first of his three farewell games. The still boss: “The club will not be without a leader from November 15th. The plan is that I would like to be on the board of directors.”
At the end of the year, new sports director Max Eberl (49) will join the managing directors Florian Hopp (45/finance) and Johann Plenge (36/corporate development), who are already working in Leipzig. It is quite possible that it will start before December 15th.
