Fans' Rating Hoffenheim 0-0 Bayern Munich: Visitors' winning streak ends at 10 games
Bavarians were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw as energetic Sinsheim outfit stymied their visitors
By Clark Whitney

Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich played out a scoreless draw on Saturday afternoon in the Bundesliga. The result ended a 10-game winning streak in all competitions for the visitors, but extended their run to 11 matches without conceding a goal.
The village side took the game to their Bavarian visitors who, for the first time in recent memory, looked very unconvincing at the back. Roberto Firmino nearly put the visitors ahead on 22 minutes as he nodded a free kick towards the back post, but Manuel Neuer made a sensational diving save.
The hosts continued to press, and were unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty on 34 minutes as Gylfi Sigurdsson was felled in the box by Daniel Van Buyten.
Hoffenheim goalkeeper Tom Starke was only once put under pressure, and managed to take the sting out of Jerome Boateng's shot before Isaac Vorsah cleared off the line.
Bayern regrouped after half-time, but even the introduction of Arjen Robben in place of the ineffective Franck Ribery at the interval did little to spark life into their attack.
Their best chances of the game came around the 70 minute mark, as Thomas Muller skilfully took down a cross at the edge of the six-yard box before Isaac Vorsah made a last-ditch challenge to knock his volley out for a corner. Seconds later, Bastian Schweinsteiger netted following Van Buyten's parried header but the goal was disallowed for offside.
The final 15 minutes of the match was played at a snail's pace, as it appeared that the two teams were both content with the result as it stood. Bayern had a few glimpses at goal, but with Mario Gomez withdrawn for the latter stages of the match, they lacked bite in front of goal as the likes of Vorsah and Marvin Compper superbly held off their opponents.
The result sees Bayern remain first in the Bundesliga table, as Monchengladbach failed to capitalise on their chance to go ahead. In spite of their earned point, Hoffenheim slip to sixth following Dortmund's victory over Augsburg.
