Watch: Kramaric's stunner caps Hoffenheim's historic win vs. Bayern
Andrej Kramaric has enjoyed a revolutionary 2017 thus far, and it only got better Tuesday against Bundesliga kingpin Bayern Munich.
The Hoffenheim hitman made magnificent contact on a shot from long range to fool backup Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, handing Julian Nagelsmann's side a deserved 1-0 win.
It is the first time Hoffenheim has ever defeated Bayern.
Kramaric's seventh goal in his past seven Bundesliga encounters dealt the Bavarian giant only its second loss of the domestic campaign - and its first since November.
Considered a bust at Leicester City, which signed Kramaric for a club-record fee in 2015, the Croatian has slowly but surely rediscovered himself in the German village.
His efforts could prove decisive in the race for an automatic Champions League berth, with Borussia Dortmund just a point behind third-place Hoffenheim after a 3-0 victory over Hamburg.
