Leon Avdullahu scores for Hoffenheim against Borussia Dortmund

Leon Avdullahu scored his first goal for Hoffenheim, securing an early 1-0 lead against Borussia Dortmund at the SNP Arena. The 22-year-old midfielder struck a powerful long-range shot in the 45th minute to give the hosts the advantage heading into halftime.

Avdullahu, who joined Hoffenheim from FC Basel in 2025, recently signed a contract extension through 2031 following a significant increase in his market value. In the same match, Albian Hajdari started for Hoffenheim and received a yellow card, while Fisnik Asllani was absent from the squad.

This fixture is part of a competitive history between the two clubs, with Hoffenheim having won two of their last three meetings against Dortmund.
