Heidenheim still have time to salvage something here. It would be a huge point in the context of relegation battle...

Final changes by Schmidt
Beck and Honsak are brought on to try and turn the tide. They almost have an immediate impact, with Ibrahimović breaking forward on the counter, but firing just over the crossbar. He is still yet to score for Heidenheim in the Bundesliga.

Ribeiro almost makes it two!
Where has this revival come from? Augsburg burst forward again, this time through substitute Ribeiro. He beautifully weaves his way through the Heidenheim defence, and forces a great diving save from Ramaj. What an introduction!

79'
Penalty for Augsburg!
It all comes from a corner. Gimber is adjudged to have dragged down Schlotterbeck inside the box. It's heartbreak for Heidenheim, who have played so well today. Claude-Maurice will take it...
75'
Ibrahimović can't break through
His influence on the game is growing. The on-loan winger has two shots from range, both of which are well blocked. For the time being, Augsburg are shutting out Heidenheim.

Just wide from Dinçki
It's another decent opening for the underdogs. Schöpper's long-range shot is blocked, and after the ball drops favourably for Dinçki, the forward curls his effort narrowly wide. They're mounting the pressure on Augsburg, who cannot get out of their own half at the moment.
67'
Dahmen denies Schöpper!
Dinkçi sets up Schöppner inside the Augsburg box, who shoots with the inside of his foot. It's well-placed, forcing Dahmen into an outstretched save. Heidenheim fancy this today...
64'
Brotherly sub
One Conteh brother replaces another. Sirlord is on for Christian, who, aside from some wayward finishing, played very well.

Nervy moments...
Augsburg are being put under pressure in midfield, and as a result, cannot keep hold of the ball. Heidenheim have started the second half just as they started the first - by dominating possession.
50'
Chance for Conteh!
Ramaj pumps the ball downfield and picks out Ibrahimović. The youngster does brilliantly to find Conteh centrally, whose shot from just outside the box is well blocked. His follow up effort is wayward, but it's another confidence-boosting pattern of pay for the away side!
46'
The ball is rolling!
The second period is underway in Augsburg. Both sides remain unchanged.
Kick-off!

Half-time
42'
Even contest heading into the break
With just a few minutes until half-time, there is nothing to separate the two sides. Augsburg have arguably had the bigger chances, but Heidenheim have used the ball well and taken the game to the hosts.

34'
Conteh dangerous on the counter
Heidenheim win the ball high up the pitch. Conteh drives forward, before releasing it to Schimmer. However, the striker's touch is a tad loose, and he is then penalised for a foul on Banks. Moments later, Conteh gets on the ball again, but his cross floats harmlessly into the hands of Dahmen.

Ramaj spills the ball!
A cross seems to panic the Heidenheim stopper, who spills the ball after an attempted catch. Fortunately for the German, he is able to block Gregoritsch's follow up shot.
23'
Dinçki threatens
Heidenheim regain control of the ball after a bright few minutes for the hosts. Dinçki is eventually played in down the right channel, but his cross is well dealt with by Banks. Augsburg are yet to get into their stride.
19'
Ramaj saves from Jakić!
The midfielder, back in the starting XI this afternoon, tries his luck from outside the box. While venomous, his shot is too close to Ramaj, who parries the ball to safety.
17'
Corner for hosts
It's their first real opportunity to put the visitors under some pressure. However, Claude-Maurice's effort is easily cleared at the near post. Heidenheim have made a very confident start to the game.
14'
Chance from a corner
Ibrahimović whips in an inviting cross to the near-post. Niehues gets their first, but his flicked header flies just over the crossbar.
10'
Dinkçi wasteful
The away side work the ball forward once again. Conteh does well to pick out Dinçki in the penalty area, but he hesitates a moment too long and allows the Augsburg defenders to clear the ball.

Conteh bright on debut
Heidenheim's new signing has got off to a solid start, already looking to make inroads from the left side. It's been a fairly even contest so far, with Augsburg having a penalty shout dismissed in the opening seconds.

We're underway!
Here we go then, both teams could really do with the three points this afternoon. Hosts Augsburg are in their all white kit, while Heidenheim are in their changed all blue strip.
Kick-off!
Table talk
Augsburg currently sit 13th in the Bundesliga table on 22 points. However, they're only three points ahead of Werder Bremen, who occupy the relegation play-off spot in 16th. Heidenheim, meanwhile, are rock bottom on 13 points, four fewer than 17th-placed St. Pauli.
