Half-time: FCH 0-2 BVB

Dortmund were dominating prior to Budu Zivzivadze's sending off and they turned the screw thereafter, with goals from Guirassy and Beier making the second half look a foregone conclusion.

BVB cruising

Superb from Adeyemi, who completely does Gimber on the edge of the area before teeing up Beier for a tap in. That was a very well-worked goal.

BVB lapse

Suddenly, Mathias Honsak is free on the edge of the Dortmund box and he gets a powerful shot away. The ball is blocked but that looked very dangerous. Dortmund were asleep at the wheel there.

Dortmund lead

Ryerson floats a wonderful ball into the box from deep. The pass bends and lands perfectly onto Guirassy's head and the striker nods into the corner. A bit too easy for BVB, but they won't care.

Despite seeing their side on the back foot for most of this game, Heidenheim fans have been creating a superb atmosphere under the sun.

Getting closer?

Adeyemi, Guirassy and Bensebaini have been causing a lot of problems inside the Heidenheim box but the visitors have just lacked that cutting edge in this game so far.

Paqarada coming off

That's so unfortunate for Leart Paqarada. The Heidenheim No.32 led away by the medical team and we can all only hope that's not a serious ligament type of knee injury.

More on that Dortmund side

Similarly, Niko Kovač makes wholesale changes to his Dortmund side that triumphed 3-0 over Union Berlin last time out. There are four alterations: Ryerson, Groß, Nmecha, and Adeyemi all start, taking the places of Anselmino (knock), Bellingham, Sabitzter (both benched), and Brandt (arm injury).

More on that Heidenheim side

For Frank Schmidt's Heidenheim, there are five changes to the side that were downed 2-0 away at Leipzig on Matchday 2. Traoré, Paqarada, Beck, Schöppner and Zivzivadze all come into the team for Busch, Föhrenbach, Dorsch, Kaufmann (all benched) and Scienza, who joined English side Southampton on deadline day.

Frank Schmidt on facing Dortmund

"We have to defend passionately against BVB tomorrow! But if we do that, then we have to create chances, because BVB want to beat us. BVB will be attacking, their back three always try to defend on the front foot. Then there will be space if you break away well, if you play well in behind. We've prepared for that, and we're confident we can do it. At some point, we have to start picking up points, and tomorrow is the first chance to do that after the first two defeats."

Brandt still a doubt

The midfielder has not returned to training since having surgery on his hand: "We'll have to see if he's fit enough for the weekend," said BVB boss Kovač.

Niko Kovač on facing Heidenheim

“We know they’ve lost their opening Bundesliga games, but we’re coming to a small stadium with a tight pitch and playing against a team that gives everything physically. We need to make sure we take the chances that come our way, but it’s not easy to score goals quickly so we’ll need to be patient.”

Both teams were quiet in terms of incomings on deadline day, but Heidenheim did lose Leo Scienza who joined English outfit Southampton.

First win over BVB?
