TSG Hoffenheim heavily dominated the first half of their home match against Bochum on Saturday, but only went into the break with a one-goal lead thanks to Andrej Kramaric's early opener.
As the Croatian striker openly admitted in a post-match interview with Sky Germany, he should have scored more than just once.
"We played great football in the first half. I probably could have scored four goals," Kramaric told Sky Germany.
The home side made it 2-0 in the second half, but Bochum fought their way back into the game and pulled a goal back through Cristian Gamboa.
Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann saved a weak penalty from Lukas Daschner towards the end of the game, before Haris Tabakovic secured a 3-1 win for Hoffenheim.
"It is unbelievable what he does," said Kramaric, praising Baumann.
"It's something special, thank you, Oli - again!"
When it came to the way Hoffenheim played in the closing stages of the game, Kramaric wasn't pleased at all.
“I just don't like it. We need more composure. We can't concede a goal in the last 15 to 20 minutes, then we'll get into trouble. We have to find a way to do something about that.”
