Ten goals for Heidenheim

Everyone is talking about the weak defence - but Heidenheim have now scored ten goals in their three league matches, which is the joint-best tally alongside Hertha.

Off the crossbar again!

Inside the six-yard box, Breunig pokes the ball towards goal - and hits the crossbar.

Five star!

Heidenheim pile on the misery even more after a counter-attack down the right. Wagner drives a low shot from 22 metres out and Schreiber can only parry it forward - allowing Breunig to tap in from close range to make it 5-2.

And another one!

Heidenheim seal the deal. A corner from the left goes towards the near post. Niehues gets his head to the ball and directs it right into the near corner to make it 4-2.

Heidenheim turn the match around!

Heidenheim are rewarded for their strong second half and turn the match on it's head!. On the left flank, Costly drives forward and crosses. The ball is flicked on with a header and Mhamdi then volleys it with his right foot from 18 metres into the near corner. What a comeback!

Straight into the keeper's arms

Only Heidenheim push forward now. Mhamdi whips in a great cross from the right. In the centre, Hennrich is free to head the ball from five metres out - but he nods it straight into Schreiber's arms.

Huge chance

That should have been it for Heidenheim! After Costly's run, the ball falls perfectly into the run of Breunig. He is one-on-one in front of the goal but slides the ball wide of the top-left corner.

Of all people, Keller

He played for Heidenheim for three and a half years and now gets sent off at his former club for the first time in Bundesliga 2 .

Schöppner strikes again

The midfielder has scored in each of his three league matches this season.

Keller is off!

The Dresden player commits a tactical foul in midfield to break up a Heidenheim attack. As he was already on a booking, he now receives a second yellow card and has to come off.
68'

Heidenheim equalise!

And there is the equaliser, which has been coming. Heule delivers a corner from the left. The ball is cleared and comes back to him. He then whips another cross into the six-yard box, and this time the ball finds Schöppner, who heads home from five metres out. Game on!

Just wide

A lovely cross comes in from the right half-space to the far corner of the six-yard box. There is Schöppner - but his header towards the near post is deflected for a corner.
64'

Into his arms

Heidenheim counter. A cross then the cross comes in from the right, but Schreiber collects it safely.
0:18

Crossbar!

Hard luck for Heidenheim - that was the best chance of the second half! Mhamdi crosses the ball from a half-right position with his left foot into the middle. At the back, Costly comes running in, connects with the ball in the six-yard box and hits it onto the crossbar!
56'

Double substitution

Schmidt brings on Mhamdi and Kerber for Honsak and Hennrich. In Honsak's case, it was certainly also a matter of caution. Right after receiving his yellow card, he committed a foul again. The next would have surely resulted in a red card.
52'

Yellow card for Honsak

Honsak receives a yellow card for a tactical foul.
50'

Schreiber again

Straight after that, the hosts create another chance. First Honsak is blocked, then Zivzivadze drives it low with his left foot - Schreiber gets to it again.
50'

Powerful shot

Costly receives a layoff from 22 metres on the half-left and volleys with his left foot. It's a thunderous strike, but Schreiber gets his hands up and parries it out for a corner.

Heule to the rescue

A brilliant through ball from İnanoğlu finds Vermeij in the area. He immediately strikes with his left foot from ten metres out - but Heule slides in and manages to block the shot for a corner.

Too far wide

Free kick for Dresden from the right half-space. The ball is played high and long - and flies wide of the left post.

Half-time: Heidenheim 0-1 Dresden

Dresden lead 1-0 at Heidenheim, and it is thoroughly deserved. The visitors have been dominant and are clearly the better team, with almost 70 per cent possession and 10-6 in shots on goal. Most importantly, however, they have scored the opening goal through Vermeij's flicked header.

45'

Halted

Another dangerous situation emerges for Heidenheim. İnanoğlu plays the ball from the left into the centre. Six metres in front of goal, Bobzien brings the ball under control and turns. However, harried by two opponents, he can only produce a tame shot. Dähne collects it comfortably.
42'

Dresden are fired up

After losing possession, the visitors are winning the ball back within an average of ten seconds. Heidenheim need more than twice as long to do the same.

Punched clear

Tim Schreiber deals with a dangerous Heidenheim corner that curls towards his goal. The Dynamo keeper punches the ball clear.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Schreiber's turn now

Now it's the other keeper's turn to make a big stop. Heidenheim counter-attack, Kerber receives the ball and shoots straight away. But Schreiber is able to save the shot with relative ease.

Super stop!

Keeper Dähne keeps Heidenheim in the game. Dresden start an attack down the right. A lovely half-volley cross comes in from Hauptmann, and in the centre İnanoğlu meets it with an almost perfect diving header from just under ten metres out. But Dähne somehow gets his hands up and parries it out for a corner.

Strong corners

Dresden are strong from set-pieces, having scored eight times from corners in 20 Bundesliga 2 matches this calendar year.

Vermeij's ariel threat

Standing at 195cm, it's little wonder the Dresden forward is such a threat in the air: Indeed, Vermeij has scored five of his last ten goals in Bundesliga 2 with his head.

Dresden take the lead!

The third Dynamo corner leads to the opening goal! Sterner delivers the ball from the left to the near post. Vermeij then runs in and heads home from three metres out. They've been much the better side so far.

Tame header

After a combination between Kaufmann and Schöppner, Heule gets a chance to finish with a header. However, it poses no problem for Schreiber.
17'

Dangerous moments

Ben Bobzien lays the ball back from the left corner of the penalty area towards the centre. Captain Hauptmann takes aim and strikes it with his left foot. The ball grazes past the right post. That was the first dangerous chance of the match.
16'

Keller aims too high

Müller plays a through ball to Keller, but the Dresden striker puts his shot over the bar.

Corner cleared

The second Dresden corner is whipped sharply into the six-yard box. But a Heidenheim defender is there to meet it with a header and manages to clear.
14'

Heidenheim turn up the heat

The home side are now pushing forward more. Their first shot on goal has seemingly given them confidence.
12'

First Shot

Finally, we have an attempt at goal. Schöppner cuts in from the left towards the centre and passes to Honsak. He turns with the ball and then curls a right-footed effort towards the top right corner - but the ball goes two metres over the bar.
10'

No shots on goal yet

Not much has happened so far. Dresden are building up from the back while Heidenheim defend. There have been no attempts on goal at the 10-minute mark.

The visitors in control

Heidenheim are allowing the visitors to have the ball in the opening minutes. Dresden are trying to get the ball forward, with the hosts only pressing in their own half.

Vermeij down on the pitch

In an aerial duel, Mainka and Vermeij clash heads. The Dresden player goes down and requires treatment. But he is able to continue.

Kick-off

We're underway in Heidenheim.
Kick-off!

Kaufmann and Kerber start

New to Heidenheim's starting XI are Mikkel Kaufmann and Luca Kerber, both of whom have only had brief appearances this season so far. Kaufmann picked up an assist as a substitute in Berlin and scored once in the DFB Cup. The Dane last started in January; Kerber in March.

Heidenheim's new left back

Michael Heule, signed at the beginning of the week, makes his debut. Heule won the Swiss title with Thun last season and has already made six competitive appearances in 2026/27 - the most recent of which was a 7-0 defeat in Europa League qualifying against Lech Poznan. His inclusion could see Jonas Föhrenbach move infield.

Change in goal

Frank Feller was in goal for the first three competitive matches, but today new signing Thomas Dähne makes his debut. The 32-year-old was first-choice goalkeeper in the 3. Liga at 1860 Munich last season, but is also no stranger to Bundesliga 2 (51 appearances for Holstein Kiel).

Heidenheim team news

Compared to the cup embarrassment against Jeddeloh II, Frank Schmidt reshuffles his starting pack in seven positions, with only Patrick Mainka, Marnon Busch, Jan Schöppner and Marcel Costly (l.) retaining their places. There are also five changes compared to the most recent league match against Hertha Berlin, partly because Adrian Beck and Marvin Pieringer have left the club.

Dresden team news

Unlike many of his counterparts, Thomas Stamm made no experiments whatsoever in the DFB Cup, fielding the same starting XI as in the league win against Darmstadt. He would have gladly named this side for a third consecutive time, but has to do without Nicolai Rapp, with Lukas Boeder (pictured) coming in to make his first start of the season.

Thomas Stamm on facing Heidenheim

"Heidenheim have shown over the last few years, in various ways, that they are very resilient when things get tight. That's why, for me, they are not a boxer on the ropes after their cup exit, but rather they are generally very united as a club and a team in such situations. On top of that, they also have enormous quality. We will need a good match to be able to take points."

Frank Schmidt on facing Dresden

"I don't really want to look back too much right now, because I think we are all a bit angry, but also speechless, when you look at the last two matches. Every single one of us feels that way, but the task is, and I said this right after the match, to bring positivity back in."

Lucky charm?

Mathias Honsak has won all five of his second-division games against Dresden, scoring twice in the process.

Mini Heidenheim run

Heidenheim are unbeaten in their last three games against Dresden at second-tier level (one win, two draws). Dynamo, for their part, have won only one of the teams' last six encounters. Their most recent victory in Heidenheim was a 2-0 success in October 2017.
