Full-time: Heidenheim 2-1 Augsburg

Heidenheim earn their first win of the season thanks to second-half goals from Kaufmann and Conteh. The pair combined for both goals early in the second half as the hosts sprung into life after a disappointing opening 45. Tietz pulled a goal back very late on, but in truth, Augsburg were well beaten.

Lifeline?

Tietz volleys home at the back post after a delightful cross from Rieder, and suddenly it is game back on! Can Augsburg spring a surprise in the remaining two minutes?

Heidenheim think they have a third

It won't count, though. Kölle fires into the empty net after Schöppner pulls the ball back following a good volley from Mainka. After a short review, however, Schöppner is given offside and the goal won't stand.

A slower few minutes

Nothing much to report in the last few minutes, lots of fouls and breaks in play with changes happening.

A much better second half

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).
Heidenheim have been much improved in this second half, and that is reflected on the scoreboard.

Good try

Schlotterbeck tries his luck from range, with his effort deflecting into the path of Essende. He tries an acrobatic effort, but can't get his shot on target. He also catches Siersleben with his boot, earning the striker a yellow card.
68'

Mainka nods over

The Heidenheim skipper gets on the end of the resulting free-kick, but his flicked header goes narrowly over the bar.
67'

Both sides fired up

Giannoulis fouls Traoré on the sideline, leading to some unsavoury scenes between both sets of players. After reviewing all of the action, the referee hands out yellow cards to Mainka, Schlotterbeck and Giannoulis.

Rieder comes close again

Augsburg finally seem to have woken up. A good cross is nodded down by Wolf for Rieder, who volleys into the ground, forcing Ramaj into his first save of the match.
58'

Almost a way back

Rieder has the ball fed into his path in the box, but fires over from a good position. That was an opportunity to get back into the game.

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).

Conteh doubles Heidenheim's lead

The hosts make it 2-0 in a reverse of the opener. This time, it is Kaufmann who does well to get down the right before crossing to Conteh in the middle. On this occasion, the attacker makes no mistake, firing the ball high into the roof of the net.

Kaufmann with the opener!

Whatever Frank Schmidt said at half-time has borne immediate fruit. The hosts lead through Kaufmann as the striker gets in front of his man to tuck away Conteh's cross superbly. Just what this game and Heidenheim needed!

Half-time: Heidenheim 0-0 Augsburg

The opening half of this one has perfectly summarised the struggles that both sides have had so far this season. Conteh has come the closest in the opening 45, but the two chances he has had have both failed to test the goalkeeper. Big improvements are needed from both sides in the second half.

Essende goes down

The striker looks to breach Heidenheim's defence with a powerful run, but then takes a slight nudge from Föhrenbach and goes to ground. His protests are waved away by the referee.

Conteh misses another chance

A corner from the left bobbles all the way through to Conteh at the back post, but again he fluffs his lines, firing high over the crossbar from close range.
38'

A moment of promise

Kaufmann almost springs a surprise on the Augsburg defence as he gets to a ball in behind before Dahmen, but his touch past the onrushing goalkeeper is swept away by a team of recovering defenders.

Both keepers remain untested

Neither side has managed a shot on target so far, a statistic that will hopefully still change before the break.

Conteh trying to make an impact

Heidenheim's forward has been the most involved in the game so far. Winning a dangerous free-kick early on and later firing over from a good position.

Big opportunity for the hosts

Mainka does well to wrestle the ball away from Wolf near the corner flag before running inside and feeding Conteh in space near the penalty spot. Again, though, the resulting shot from the attacker is wild and flies high over the bar. Both keepers remain untested.

Both sides struggling in possession

The pass completion statistics say it all. A lot of passes are going astray. Heidenheim have only completed 77% of their passes so far, and Augsburg 81%.

Not too far away

A well-taken free-kick from the wide left is flicked goalwards by Cédric Zesiger, but the defender's header loops over the bar.

Wasteful from Ibrahimović

The hosts come forward with pace down the right through Traoré, who tries to feed a low ball into the box. The cross is blocked by Massengo, but falls perfectly into the path of Ibrahimović, who blazes over the bar from inside the box. That could have been so much more.

Not a good start

This game has been lacking quality so far. A lot of loose passes and two free-kick attempts that have landed well clear of the goal.

A wasted opportunity

Dorsch makes a mess of the free-kick from a good position, sending it a long way over the crossbar.

A dangerous moment

Conteh bursts in behind the Augsburg defence after some good combination play and is brought to the ground by Zesiger, who earns the first yellow card of the game. That was a good run from Conteh, and had he got away from that challenge, he could have had a real chance.

More on those teams

Frank Schmidt on facing Augsburg

"The fact is that only a win counts for us. We've made that clear. We don't want to think about a loss, because that would put us in a position in the table that would be very difficult to climb out of. We're looking at ourselves, but we have to know our opponents. We are prepared for the way Augsburg will play."

Sandro Wagner on facing Heidenheim

“They’re tough to play against away from home, but we’re going to give our all and want to win the game. Heidenheim’s games have been very tight so far. We’re likely to face opponents who are lacking in confidence, but the same can be said for us.”

Nul points

Bottom side Heidenheim are the only Bundesliga team yet to register a single point so far this season. After defeats to Wolfsburg, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund, Frank Schmidt's side lost 2-1 to promoted Hamburg last time out. Their only competitive win so far in 2025/26 came on the road to minnows Bahlinger SC in the DFB Cup first round.

Augsburg downturn

Augsburg kicked off the Sandro Wagner era with a DFB Cup win in Halle and a 3-1 triumph at Freiburg in the Bundesliga, but they have since lost to Bayern Munich (3-2), St. Pauli (2-1) and Mainz (4-1). If results go against them this weekend, they could slip to the foot of the table.
