Super-sub Ihlas Bebou was the hero for Hoffenheim in Saturday's Bundesliga fixture as he scored the only goal in their 1-0 victory over Taiwo Awoniyi's Mainz 05.
The Togo international was introduced for Bruun Larsen in the 38th minute and he made a statement within six minutes, scoring his fourth league goal of the season which turned out to be the match-winning strike.
Mali's Diadie Samassekou assisted Bebou in finding the back of the net as Hoffenheim secured their second straight win in the Bundesliga.
Nigeria forward Awoniyi was on parade from start to finish for Mainz 05 but he could not double his tally in the German top-flight this term, however, Cameroon's Pierre Kunde came on as a 70th-minute substitute for the hosts.
