Three goals, three Kramarić fingerprints. That was the story at Hoffenheim, where Andrej Kramarić either scored or created every single goal in a 3-0 win over Olympique Lyonnais in the Europa League.
A hand in everything
Kramarić finished the night with one goal and two assists, a return of three goal involvements that made him the most influential attacker on the pitch by some distance. Hoffenheim did not just beat Lyon, they did it with their forward directly responsible for the entire scoreline.
It earned him a match rating of 8.6, the kind of number that reflects not just the end product but a performance where he was central to almost every meaningful attacking sequence Hoffenheim produced.
Lyon left with no answer
For Olympique Lyonnais, there will be little to take from a night where one player on the opposing side outscored and out-created their entire team. A 3-0 scoreline against a visiting side in European competition is already a statement, but the fact that it came down to a single man's influence will sting more.
Hoffenheim's win keeps their European campaign ticking along, built almost entirely around a player who, on this evidence, is still capable of dictating a match from start to finish.
