Baku delighted with his goal

Full-time: Heidenheim 0-3 Leipzig

After their 5-1 defeat against Bayern, Leipzig bounce back at the first time of asking with a dominant victory against Heidenheim. After missed chances in the first period, the young Bulls were quick to pour cold water on the home side's confidence, blasting three goals in nine minutes past Ramaj. Three goals, three points and a clean sheet. Perfect away day for Werner and his team.

There's Raum for more!

Leipzig are now flexing their attacking strength and converting the chances along with it. Brilliant play from Diomande who distracts all of Heidenheim's defence towards him with Raum ghosting in behind and smashing into the roof Ramaj's net. That should be game over.

Leipzig's xG tally so far suggests they should have scored one goal at the very least but on the pitch, it's been a case of missed opportunities.

Marauding run from Schlager

The Leipzig midfielder pounces on a loose ball near the halfway line and charges on a superb solo run almost entirely running the past Heidenheim backline before he is closed down by a proactive Ramaj.

57'

Tricky Baumgartner

The Leipzig midfielder has successfully escaped from 82% of his pressure situations. 91% of his passes under pressure have found a teammate.

55'

Heidenheim looking to fire back

The home side are keen to assert their own offensive impetus in this game after all those chances for Leipzig but the quality in delivery into the box has been lacking.

0:33

PINBALL OF CHANCES!

Ramaj makes save after save after save from Leipzig shots at goal in a pinball-like sequence for the visitors which ends with a Rômulo shot going wide of Heidenheim's net. Nervy moments for the home defence.

51'

Searching cross from Nusa

The Leipzig number seven gets past Stergiou and delivers a delicious cross into the ball which Rômulo dives to meet but misses it and there's nobody else to convert behind him.

49'

Diomande has the ball in the net...BUT!

It looks very tight for the Ivorian but he meets a through-ball in behind Heidenheim lines superbly before slotting past Ramaj with confidence. But the linesman has his flag up and the Ivorian's joy is cut short.

47'

No dice

Another successful dribble for Diomande up against Föhrenbach, but he's only able to drive the ball to the byline and out for a Heidenheim goal-kick.

46'

Ibrahimović again!

It's the Heidenheim number 22 who has the first chance of the second half just moments after kick-off! The winger wins a duel up against Orbán and fires on the turn at Gulácsi, Schmidt applauds the initiative.

Out for the second half

The players are warmed up and ready to go once again, Heidenheim get us underway for the second period.

Half-time: Heidenheim 0-0 Leipzig

An engaging half despite what the scoreline suggests and Schmidt's Heidenheim will certainly go into the break with greater regrets. Both Ibrahimović and Pieringer had huge opportunities to score but failed to take them. Nusa has been the spark of the first 45 for the visitors, striking the post early on.

Big chance for Pieringer!

It's the perfect chance in the perfect spot for Pieringer, who is in the perfect spot to meet a cross from Ibrahimović, but his volley scoops over Gulácsi's goal. Another golden chance for the home side just before the half-time whistle.

45'

Not long to go

Neither the referee nor the players will want to stay out on this foggy Voith Arena pitch much longer. Just the one minute of added-time signalled by the fourth official.

42'

Words for Pieringer

The Heidenheim forward has been virtually non-existent so far and coach Schmidt is clearly encouraging him to get involved more in the game.

40'

Nusa fires again

The Norway international is having a great time up against Stergiou and fires another shot at Ramaj's goal, but it goes high and wide.

39'

Wildly off the mark from Honsak

That was unlike the quality we've seen so far from Honsak, whose overlapping run is found nicely on the left flank, but he attempts to produce a cross from deep first time, and..the less said about it, the better.

37'

Two great crosses, meet nobody

First Diomande and now Ibrahimović, both wingers attack the space in behind opposition lines and produce superb crosses, but no receivers inside either the home or visiting area.

35'

All eyes on Tobias Stieler

The referee is now revisiting a potential handball call from Gimber. What is currently being investigated is whether the handball was made inside or outside the area. Checks are complete after a brief pause, no penalty.

Committing numbers

Werner's side are shaping up in a 4-2-4 shape in possession, and looking to push the Heidenheim defensive line further into their own half. So far, it seems to be working but no breakthrough.

32'

Orbán offering support

The Leipzig number four has attempted to go forward and offer himself as an option for crosses from the visiting fullbacks.

31'

Diomande shining so far

The winger has returned from AFCON and picked up right where he left off, winning the most duels so far today.

From the training ground

It's a well-worked set-piece from Heidenheim from near the halfway line and the ball into the box is cleared only until the outside of the box where Dorsch tries to meet it on the half-volley. The shot clears Gulácsi's post comfortably.

23'

Too easy for Leipzig to handle

It's another seemingly promising break for the home side led by Dorsch, but the cross from the right flank is too easy for Gulácsi to gather.

22'

Nusa lets fly!

The Norwegian once again finds space inside the Heidenheim block and is able to get a long-ranger curler away at Ramaj, but it sails past the home net and it remains 0-0.

Leipzig's intensity in recovering the ball is helping them pounce on Heidenheim mistakes, no opener yet though.

Ibrahimović has to score!

It's the closest that the home side have come to scoring today. The first clear cut chance comes from a lovely Honsak delivery to his fellow winger Ibrahimović on the other side who side foots his volley and meets it well but it's straight at Gulácsi, Schmidt's side may not get many better chances than that today.

11'

High-boot from Schlager

The Austrian's attempt to connect with Nusa's in-swinging cross is deemed dangerous play by the referee and Heidenheim have respite again.

9'

11 times unlucky

That Nusa shot was the 11th time that Leipzig have struck the post this season.

7'

Nervous moment for Gulácsi

It's a cross from Stergiou on the right that gives the experienced Hungarian some concern but it floats safely over his net.

5'

The ball is in the net...BUT

Baumgartner smashes in a low cutback from Raum who finds space beyond the FCH backline again and the Austrian thinks he timed his run, but the linesman disagrees and the game remains scoreless. Werner's side are not wasting any time here.

0:20

Nusa hits the post!

Leipzig have the first big chance of the game, it's lovely vision from Baku who chases the loose ball in the half spaces just outside the Heidenheim area and finds the Norway international on the left, his shot clatters against Ramaj's post.

2'

Dangerous from Raum

The league's most dangerous team from set-pieces almost create something from an indirect free-kick once again. Raum's searching ball into the box is met by Orbán but cleared by a Heidenheim man in the box.

On the front foot

It's Diomande, as expected, driving the Leipzig team forward. The Ivorian cuts into space behind Heidenheim lines but doesn't get the cutback from the left as he wanted, Heidenheim clear.

Never again

On 27 January 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was liberated. Since 2004, football matches in Germany around 27 January have become a symbol of remembrance for all the lives persecuted under National Socialism.

Early Heidenheim team news

Schmidt confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Christian Conteh is not ready to make his debut for his new club, while older brother Sirlord has been struggling with illness this week and may therefore not feature either. Mikkel Kaufmann, too, has not been able to train with the team this week as he is also ill. Leart Paqarada and Budu Zivzivadze are confirmed absentees, but Jonas Föhrenbach is back in contention after his thigh issue.

Frank Schmidt on facing RB Leipzig

"I don't think Leipzig are expecting a comfortable afternoon tomorrow. They know they have to give their best performance to beat us at home. I see it as an opportunity for us, and I believe in us. I believe in my team. That's why we're going into the game with optimism. I don't buy into the idea that we have nothing to lose. I have to be honest and say that you always have something to lose. we'll give it our all, together and unconditionally, with our fans. We believe we can get three points here at home."

Ole Werner on facing Heidenheim

"Heidenheim is always a tough place to go. They are a very physical side with a solid structure, in addition to being good from set-pieces and in transition. In the end, it's always about playing your own game, which is what I want to see from my team. We have to do that in order to get the job done."

The big dream

Rômulo told the Bundesliga: "I think for every Brazilian player, the biggest dream is to represent Brazil, to wear the yellow shirt. Being in the Bundesliga and playing for a club like Leipzig brings me closer to that. Of course, if I score goals and play well, it gets even closer. So yes, that dream is very much alive. I’m still young too, I’m 23, so there’s plenty of time to wear the national team shirt at least once."

Rômulo returns

Leipzig's Brazilian striker scored the first of his six Bundesliga goals so far in the win over Heidenheim in August. He has credited that along with the welcome his teammates and club staff gave him for settling in so well, telling the Bundesliga: "Scoring a goal on your first start takes pressure off any striker, so you don’t carry that feeling of having to score as soon as possible."

© RONNY HARTMANN

Leipzig struggling

Leipzig's form has dropped in their past few games. They did manage to beat Freiburg 2-0 on Matchday 17, but they have lost the other three matches in the last four. They have conceded at least thrice in all of those defeats, too, including five against Bayern last time out.

Heidenheim's improved resilience

Frank Schmidt's side are still in some trouble at the wrong end of the table, but their predicament has significantly improved in recent weeks. Back-to-back wins over Union Berlin and Freiburg towards the end of last year were very welcome, and recent draws with Cologne and Wolfsburg further underline their improvement.

Leipzig bounced back from a heavy opening-day defeat to Bayern to land their first Bundesliga win under Werner on Matchday 2. It means Die Roten Bullen are yet to lose in five meetings with Frank Schmidt's Heidenheim at this level (W4, D1).

Heidenheim are winless in five after conceding a late Wolfsburg leveller at the Volkswagen Arena. Luckily for them, the draw lifted them back into the relegation play-off position after the bottom two, St. Pauli and Mainz, lost. The gap to outright safety, meanwhile, is a surmountable three points.

Despite a brilliant first-half display, Leipzig suffered another chastening defeat at the hands of Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich on Matchday 18.
