Full-time: Heidenheim 1-0 Holstein Kiel

And that's it! The hosts came out much stronger in the second half and had several clear-cut chances to take the lead in the opening minutes. Jonas Therkelsen, who was unfortunately shown a second yellow card, made things even harder for his side. The hosts went on to squander chance after chance and for a long time it looked as though the Storks would snatch a fortunate point. In the 83rd minute, the deadlock was finally broken when Föhrenbach headed home a corner to score the celebrated winning goal.

Double substitution

Costly has to come off. Alongside him, Vogt is also substituted. Coming on are Siersleben and Hennrich.

Solid goalkeeper

Weiner has already kept his side from falling behind on one or two occasions today. Can the Storks keep a clean sheet here?

Pain

While taking a corner kick, Costly feels a pull in his thigh. The Heidenheim player requires treatment.

Goalkeeper Efficiency of Timon Weiner

Goalkeeper Efficiency

Goalkeeper Efficiency compares the number of saves a goalkeeper makes with his expected saves (xSaves). xSaves is calculated with the help of artificial intelligence. When a goalkeeper has a positive efficiency value, it means he has saved more shots than statistically expected.

Conteh brings momentum

This substitution has paid off! Conteh has already had many strong actions – only the goal is still missing.

Strong Tackle

Kaprálik almost runs past Busch and would have been away towards Dähne, but Busch slides in with a tackle and manages to win the ball back. Strong piece of play!

0:14

Good attempt

Conteh receives the ball in front of the penalty area and plays it into the run of Heule, but his cross is then blocked for a corner.

70'

No goalless draw on the Ostalb for a long time

None of the last 22 home matches across all competitions for Heidenheim ended without a goal. The last 0-0 on the Ostalb was in May 2025 in the Bundesliga against Bochum.

67'

That was close!

Conteh receives the ball on the edge of the penalty area, shifts it to his left and shoots. The ball whistles just past the right post.

66'

Over the bar

After a free-kick from the half-space, the ball finds its way to Niehues via a deflection, who heads at goal from around eight metres out. The ball sails well over the crossbar.

63'

Numerical advantage restored

In the last home match, a red card for Dresden's Thomas Keller was the game changer, after which Heidenheim really got into their stride

61'

He must score!!!

Unbelievable! After a superb through ball from Conteh into the channel, Costly is through on goal. He shoots from around 14 metres with his left foot, but his shot goes wide of the left post.

59'

Blocked

Kaprálik takes a corner from the left. Zec meets the ball with a header, but Busch blocks the attempt.

No penalty

Conteh drives into the penalty area, attempts to go through the middle against two opponents and goes down. Heidenheim appeal for a penalty, but referee Justin Hasmann waves play on.

53'

Premier occurrence

First sending-off in Bundesliga 2 for the Norwegian.

50'

He's off!

That's a bitter blow! Therkelsen doesn't see his opponent coming up behind him, attempts to clear the ball and catches the onrushing Kaufmann in the chest. There are no two ways about it – he's been sent off!

50'

Second yellow card

Jonas Therkelsen

49'

Another big chance!

Costly plays the ball into the path of Conteh, who is completely through on goal. The striker, who has just been brought on as a substitute, pulls the trigger but fails to beat Weiner, who makes himself as big as possible, one-on-one.

48'

Mega chance!

Conteh plays the ball into the centre to Vogt, who is completely unmarked. From around four metres out he manages the feat of heading the ball over the bar.

47'

Good approach

Vogt holds his ground against Nekić on the right flank. In the end he can no longer quite reach the ball, allowing Weiner to pick it up.

46'

We're under way again

Double substitution for the hosts. Conteh and Kaufmann come on for Honsak and Mhamdi. Kiel remain unchanged.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Heidenheim 0-0 Holstein Kiel

In a largely chance-poor match, the teams go into the break at 0-0. The Storks have so far been unable to capitalise on their dominance in possession. In the closing stages of the half, the hosts became somewhat more active and had the odd shot on goal, but it never really looked truly threatening.

Half-time

44'

Great cross!!

Parduzi does well to hold on to the ball on the left flank and whips in a sharp ball into the centre, but Therkelsen can't quite get on the end of it. Good chance!

43'

Blocked

Balzi's corner finds Kaprálik, but his shot is deflected for another corner. This one comes to nothing.

42'

From distance

After a throw-in from the left flank, Busch gets the rebound and lets fly from around 30 metres out. The shot goes well wide of the goal.

38'

There was more in that!

Brilliant attack from Heidenheim! Busch plays the ball on the right flank to Mhamdi, who takes it in his stride and then plays it from the byline into the centre. Weiner reads the danger and is able to collect the ball before Heule gets to it.

38'

0:22

Best chance Heidenheim!

Heule shoots from a tight angle and forces Weiner into a save at the near post. Heidenheim are making their presence felt.

0:12

Phwoar, Mainka has got skills

33'

The flag goes up

Following a headed flick-on from Honsak, Mhamdi suddenly finds himself through on goal, bears down on Wagner and shoots from 16 metres into the inside of the post. However, the flag goes up – offside.

32'

It can't always be a spectacle

2-2 shots on goal after more than half an hour - today it doesn't look like the next goal fest on the Ostalb, where in the first two home matches 15 goals were scored, meaning on average one goal every 12 minutes.

28'

Aerial dominance

After a corner from the away side, Honsak has no trouble at the near post and is able to head the ball clear of the danger zone.

27'

No respite for Heidenheim

The home side are barely managing to hold onto the ball at the moment. Kiel are very venomous in this phase of play.

27'

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).

Over the bar

Costly cuts inside from the edge of the penalty area and plays the ball out to the right again. The ball is crossed into the centre, but Honsak pokes it well wide of the goal under pressure. The flag goes up afterwards, though – offside.

23'

Quiet Phase

Heidenheim are largely allowing the visitors to have possession of the ball. In the last few minutes, however, the visitors have been unable to capitalise on this and have not managed to get into any promising positions.

19'

Gift

During a clearance attempt, Niehues fails to make proper contact with the ball and gifts the visitors a corner kick. However, it comes to nothing.

18'

Blocked

Costly receives the ball at the edge of the box and shoots, but Parduzi is in the way and blocks the shot.

Fiercely contested start

Over the bar

Costly crosses from the left, but Mhamdi's attempt goes over the crossbar.

9'

Good chance Kiel!

Ugoh gets through on the left flank with a bit of luck and skill, and drives into the penalty area. From around nine metres out he shoots with his left foot and is denied by Dähne, who makes the save with his foot.

7'

First free-kick

After a foul on the right flank by Ugoh on Schöppner, a free-kick is awarded. Heule delivers the ball into the centre, but a Kiel player is able to head it clear at the near post.

5'

Possession phase

Kiel, who lead the league in the possession table, are also taking the initiative here in the early stages. Apart from Harres' shot, the Storks have not yet managed to get into any promising positions.

4'

One of a kind Kiel

As Darmstadt and St. Pauli have won this weekend, the Storks are now the only side in Bundesliga 2 still waiting for their first three points

1'

First shot

The Storks get an early first chance! Ugoh plays a through ball to Harres, but the striker misses the target and sends the ball wide of the right post.

Kick-off

Kiel get the game under way, playing in their blue home kit.

Kick-off!

Kiel are significantly younger

Heidenheim's starting eleven has an average age of 28.2 years. For the Storks, it is only 25.0 years.

More on that Kiel team

For the visitors, there are two changes compared to the 2-2 draw against Nuremberg: Davidsen is absent and is replaced by the 21-year-old Ugoh, while 19-year-old Parduzi starts at left back in place of Tolkin (bench). For Ugoh it is his first start of this season, having made his first appearances for the first team towards the end of last season.

More on that Heidenheim team

Heidenheim will have to do without their injured striker Zivzivadze. Niehues comes into the side in his place as a defensive midfielder - on paper it looks like a switch to a 3-4-3 formation.

Frank Schmidt on facing Kiel

"We shouldn't make the mistake now of only looking at the table. We won't let that influence us. In the end, you have to win the matches. Balance is, as always, the decisive factor and we want to get that right on Sunday."
