Hoffenheim earned their first Europa League victory of the season on Thursday, beating French leaders Olympique Lyon 3-0 in front of 21,029 fans in Sinsheim. Christian Ilzer's side had lost their first two league-phase games to OFI Crete and Besiktas.
Andrej Kramaric headed the opener in first-half stoppage time, his first goal of the season following groin surgery. Adam Daghim doubled the lead four minutes after the break, and substitute Adam Hlozek sealed the win in the 83rd minute. Robin Hranac had earlier hit the crossbar, while goalkeeper Oliver Baumann denied Lyon's best chance.
A Lyon player was treated for several minutes after a challenge and taken to hospital for checks; Lyon's coach said he was doing fine. Hoffenheim, 14th in the Bundesliga, host Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday before visiting Crystal Palace in the Europa League on Nov. 5.
