Andrej Kramaric scored his 11th and 12th goals of the German Bundesliga season from the penalty spot as Hoffenheim beat visitors Cologne 3-0 on Sunday. The Croatian opened the scoring in the seventh minute shortly after Cologne's Sava-Arangel Cestic handled the ball in his own penalty area. Christoph Baumgartner doubled the lead just before the half-hour mark, diverting a shot from Mijat Gacinovic past Cologne goalkeeper Timo Horn.

And Kramaric slotted home his second penalty with 15 minutes to go after Baumgartner was brought down at a corner kick.Anthony Modeste then missed a chance to pull a goal back from the spot and Cologne were beaten for a fourth time in seven Bundesliga games.
