Openda so close!
Xavi sends a looping corner to the back post and a scramle ensues. Šeško hist one into the crowd and it deflects to Openda, who smahes one towards the left post but it's parried away. Kampl then has a great chance but his shot is deflected wide.

Xavi close!
Xavi is slipped in down the right hand side, in-behind the Heidenheim defence. The Dutchman takes a touch away from an onrushing defender and shoots, but he's leaning back and falling as he connects and it's blazed wide of the right post.

Openda cries penalty!
The forward controls a ball inside the area and is nudged over by the defender behind him. It looks soft, though, and the referee waves play on.

Xavi causing problems
Xavi wins a free-kick on the right-hand side of the box, 20 metres out and it's curled towards the penalty spot. It gets nodded away but only as far as Šeško, who smashes a low effort towards the right post. Müller tips away.

Šeško scores!
The penalty is eventually given by the referee. Šeško makes sure with a low and hard effort to Müller's left.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Avoidable from Heidenheim
Openda looks to bring down a high ball inside the box but he's felled. Clumsy from Siersleben. This will be reviewed.

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).

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).

Baku close!
The wing-back receives the ball on the right-hand side of the Heidenheim box. He chops back inside an onrushing defender and smashes a low shot at goal. Müller parries away.

Good start from Leipzig
Leipzig come out swinging in the second half. Openda smashes a defender out the way and storms into the box, but it's slightly overrun and he gets wiped out by the 'keeper. The ball is swung back in and Šeško heads at goal but the ball is cleared.

Lifeline for Leipzig!
Leipzig have been pushing hard and finally they get their breakthrough. The ball is pinged low into the box from wide right by Kampl. Šeško, under pressure, knocks it down for his strike partner and Openda rifles home from the right side of the box. Game on!

Šeško close!
Leipzig exchange intricate passes in front of the Heidenheim box. Xavi cleverly dummies a pass to feet and it runs through to Šeško, waiting on the D. The striker fires a low shot at the bottom right corner but Müller does well to get down and tip it round the post.

Leipzig are pushing high in an attempt to get a foothold back in this game but they're vulnerable to counters. Heidenheim looking comfortable so far.

Deserved yellow
Baku receives the ball just to the right of Heidenheim's box, only for Gimber to bring him down in desperation before he can cross. The latter is rightly booked.

Dream start for Heidenheim!
After winning the penalty, Pieringer does the honours himself. He slots it low and hard to Gulácsi's left as the 'keeper dives the wrong way. Leipzig with a mountain to climb here.

Sloppy from Leipzig!
Pieringer charges after a searching ball down the left flank, with Orban in pursuit. The striker gets there first and drives into the area. The Hungarian, looking to pinch the ball away, sticks out a leg and brings the man down. It's stonewall. It's clumsy. Pieringer to take.

Unstoppable from Honsak!
The visitors take the lead and it's an absolute banger. The ball bounces around the Leipzig area before being cleared to the edge of the box. Honsak runs onto it and sends a ferocious volley into the top right corner of Leipzig's net.

Wins required
The home side have won just one of their past five matches (drawing the other four), while their guests have lost five games in a row. Both sides could massively use a win today, albeit for different reasons. For that reason alone, this one has draw written all over it.
