Hoffenheim's Pavel Kaderabek picked up the joint-fastest yellow card in Bundesliga history on Sunday during his side's 0-0 draw with Augsburg.

Former Czech international Kaderabek was booked after just eight seconds for a high elbow against Augsburg's Dimitris Giannoulis, equalling a record previously held by former Freiburg striker Florian Niederlechner.

The early yellow proved to be the most notable event in an otherwise forgettable game, as the two southern sides cancelled each other out on a chilly afternoon in Augsburg.

Augsburg had the lion's share of chances in the first half, but were repeatedly frustrated by Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann.

Hoffenheim, still recovering from their 2-2 draw with Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday, also missed chances through Marius Buelter and Andrej Kramaric.

The draw left both teams in the bottom half of the table, with Hoffenheim just a point clear of the bottom three in 15th.
