Andrej Kramaric's first-half strike was enough for Hoffenheim to beat Bayern Munich 1-0 as the Bundesliga leaders fell to just their second defeat of the season on Tuesday. Kramaric let fly from distance after Mats Hummels failed to properly clear and Bayern reserve 'keeper Sven Ulreich was unable to keep the effort out, despite getting his hand to the ball in the 21st minute. Ulreich was playing in place of the injured Manuel Neuer, who hopes to be back for the league showdown with Borussia Dortmund at the weekend - before next week's visit of Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals.
