Leipzig had a chance to equalise at the start of the second half through captain Orban, after a free-kick glanced off defender Kerem Demirbay, but he was denied by a great save from goalkeeper Oliver Baumann.

Hoffenheim nearly doubled their lead in bizarre circumstances when Kramaric's shot was headed by Orban straight at team-mate Marcel Halstenberg, who was on the floor, but the ball bounced off the left-back and just wide of the goal.

And Orban found a late equaliser for Leipzig, as he stretched to meet a Hastenburg cross from the left and managed to poke the ball home.
