Full-time: Heidenheim 1-1 Mainz

A game of great quality comes to an end and neither side will be happy. It really could have gone either way with Heidenheim and Mainz both experiencing moments of great dominance and quality, personified by their forwards Kleindienst and Burkardt. In the end the goalkeepers won out, and while Heidenheim still have a chance of European football, Mainz aren't out of trouble yet.

More Muller magic

Relief for Mainz

Mainz's defenders will be delighted as goalscorer Kleindienst comes off. The lofty striker has been a menace throughout.

Quality from Muller

Burkardt looks certain to score as he drifts through Heidenheim's box and prepares to finish but Muller gets his hand in at the last moment for a brilliant goalkeeper tackle.

Beste of luck

Beste tries his luck from range and a moving shot almost tricks Zentner who eventually gathers the ball.

It's all about the big men

Both teams continue to use their big strikers and Ajorque is having the most luck so far.

Tim Kleindienst Ludovic Ajorque

Burkardt still the difference

55'

Huge chance!

Dinkci is found out wide and has plenty of time to put the ball past Zentner but the keeper closes him down and snuffs out what should have been the equaliser.

54'

Mainz caged in

Heidenheim are trying to work some set piece magic with a pair of corners but Zentner is dealing with things so far...

49'

Goal line clearance!

Dinkci makes a goal line clearance on Ajorque but the flag goes up. That may well have stood had the ball gone in and it been checked...

48'

Caci again

Mainz fashion the game's first chance and it's Caci again, the man who provided the opener. He runs down the left wing and sends in a dangerous ball that Ajorque just misses out on.

We're back underway

Heidenheim kick us back off and head straight for the Mainz box.

Some bad news to end the half

Just before the whistle blew for the break Mainz captain Widmer went down and is now receiving treatment pitch side. Replays show a very nasty-looking twist of the knee for a player who has only just returned from injury.

Half-time: Heidenheim 0-1 Mainz

A very interesting opening 45 minutes come to a close and it's still all to play for. Mainz grew into the game and Burkardt rewarded some clever and patient build up play. The home side still look like a huge threat on the counter, though, and there's surely more goals in this.

What a finish

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The xG stats show just how good that finish was.

Burkardt with the opener!

Mainz take the lead and this could be a huge goal. A great spell of possession ends with a Caci cross into the box and just before it hits the floor Burkardt ghosts in and hits it into the corner first time. That's a world class finish!

Dinkci and Lee the danger men?

How's that not gone in?!

A simple ball over the top to Kleindienst causes all sorts of problems. It's a great first touch from the striker but as Zentner challenges him it almost bounces off Heidenheim no.10 and into the back of the net.

Crucial from Gimber

Gimber just beats Ajorque to a ball forward. If he hadn't we could have easily seen the opener.

Ajorque at work

The tallest player on the pitch at 6ft 5in, Ajorque is causing problems for Heidenheim already.

Lee is found at the near post for a great heading opportunity but he doesn't get enough on the shot which ends up wide.

A missed opportunity

Kleindiest finds Sessa with a flick-on and it looks like Heidenheim are about to be through on goal, but Sessa's final ball goes all wrong.

A cagey start so far

Great attack from FCH

Beste and Pieringer combine brilliantly and when the latter is found in the box his touch gets away with him, just as he looked ready to shoot from close range.

First shot on target

Dinkci finds plenty of space through the heart of midfield and hits a rocket at the Mainz goal, thankfully for Zentner, it's right at him, and he bats the thumping effort away from his goal.

Kick-off!

Mainz boosted by Bochum

In today's first match Bochum beat Union Berlin 4-3 in one of the games of the season. That means that victory could also pull M05 out of the bottom three, leapfrogging Union to safety.

What's at stake

This game has taken on an increased importance following Cologne's 0-0 draw with Freiburg last night. Victory for Mainz tonight would mean they can no longer be automatically relegated this season. Heidenheim could jump from 11th to 8th in the table with a win, and close in on European football in their first-ever Bundesliga season.

More on the teams

Mainz's 1-1 draw with Cologne last time out was a heavy one. Amiri, Gruda and Mwene all miss today's game with suspensions while Onisiwo's gruesome hand injury also rules him out. Coming in are Fernandes, Widmer, Ajorque and Lee. Heidenheim, meanwhile, make a single change with Traoré back from suspension in place for Theuerkauf.

Müller - Traoré, Mainka (c), Gimber, Föhrenbach - Schöppner - Dinkçi, Sessa, Beste - Pieringer, Kleindienst

All eyes on Mainz

It's a massive day for Mainz. If they win today, Cologne are officially relegated and their own hopes of survival are kept alive. If the 05ers lose, one of Union and Bochum could pull further clear of the bottom-three. Hosts Heidenheim, meanwhile, are just four points back from seventh and would move to within a point of a European place with victory.

Henriksen's view ahead of Heidenheim

"This game is another final for us. We want to go there and show how good we are. If we play well, we've got a good chance. We need to all want the ball and dare to make mistakes. That's football."

Schmidt's view on Mainz

"Mainz are currently fighting for survival in the Bundesliga, even though they were written off a few weeks ago. After the change of coach, they've worked their way up with a lot of intensity and now they have their fate in their own hands. As such, they''ll do everything in their power to take three points."
