Full-time: Mainz 2-1 Heidenheim

Mainz have won a home game in the Bundesliga for the first time since February. The win also lifts them off the foot of the table, at the expense of today's opponents, who are without a win in their last four games. Amiri picks up the MOTM award following his decisive second-half strike.

Wasteful from Ibrahimović

He's been electric today, but the youngster, on loan from Bayern Munich, misfires as his promising cross goes out for a goal-kick. Mainz are 90 seconds away from a huge three points.

Five minutes added on

Heidenheim still have the chance to get an equaliser here. Schimmer goes down in the Mainz penalty area after a long free-kick from Ramaj, but the referee waves away any penalty shouts after a short VAR check.

Amiri goes off to a great reception

Here comes former Heidenheim man Maloney to try and sure things up at the back for Mainz. Amiri, the possible match winner, goes off with a minute left.

Off the crossbar!

So close for Heidenheim! A deflected shot from Ibrahimović rattles Batz's upright and almost crosses the goalline on the way down. Mainz scramble it away, but they're living dangerously right now...

Final roll of the dice from Schmidt

The Heidenheim boss brings on Wagner for the final few minutes of the game. He's now used up all of his subs.

Just over the bar from Tietz!

It's another error from Ramaj, who gets caught out in no man's land when trying to collect a cross. It's the Mainz forward who gets to the ball first, but he agonisingly heads it just over. Moments later, Amiri heads straight at the keeper from a corner. Mainz might come to rue these missed chances.

77'

Schmidt brings on Honsak

The winger is on to try and inject a bit of creativity into the Heidenheim attack. He is yet to score or assist in the Bundesliga this season - can he change that in the final 15 minutes?

Good omen for Die Nullfünfer?

The chances of a home win are still favourable for Mainz, as for the first time in 2025/26, Mainz took the lead by two clear goals in this game. So far, this has only been achieved twice away from home.

70'

20 minutes to go...

Heidenheim are growing into the game here, putting more pressure on the hosts. Traoré is the latest player to try his luck from range, but his rasping shot is well wide of Batz's post.

Ibrahimović comes alive

It was the forward's incisive play and shot that eventually led to Schimmer's goal, and he continues to threaten Mainz on the counter. If an equaliser is to come, you feel Ibrahimović will be the one who gets it.

63'

Nervy moments for Fischer and co...

Mainz threw away two points last weekend after a late comeback from Union Berlin. They'll be wary of doing the same here.

Super sub Schimmer!

From nowhere, Heidenheim are back in this. It's excellent forward play, as he follows up on a fine save from Batz to poke the ball home from close range.

Pieringer the first Heidenheim player in the book

He gives away a foul in a very dangerous area, just outside his own penalty area. Amiri's subsequent free-kick is well dealt with, but the visitors are under sustained pressure here.

Huge save from Ramaj!

Sieb wriggles free down the left channel, but the Heidenheim stopper produces a fine reflex stop to keep his side in this. Moments later, Mainz flash a ball right across the face of the goal, but somehow nobody is there to turn the ball goalwards.

Amiri double's Mainz's lead!

It's a beauty from the talented midfielder. After a clever one-two with Tietz inside the Heidenheim box, Amiri hammers his half-volley into the far corner of the net.

Half-time: Mainz 1-0 Heidenheim

After a cagey first half hour, it was a mistake from Ramaj in the Heidenheim goal that gave Mainz the opportunity to take the lead through Widmer. Tietz very nearly doubled their lead, but for the most part, clear-cut chances have been few and far between. Heidenheim will need to improve in the second-half if they want to avoid dropping to last place in the Bundesliga table.

A few minutes to go until half-time...

Heidenheim have had one or two good moments so far, but they're losing the midfield battle and are perhaps fortunate to only be one goal down. Mainz continue to look the more dangerous side.

Mainz push forward

The home side have just started to impose their will in the last 10 minutes or so. Lee looks to be the danger man in midfield, with his latest contribution being a teasing cross into the Heidenheim box that none of his teammates can get on the end of.

Two Heidenheim players are down

Kaufmann and Mainka look to be in a bit of pain here. The striker is receiving some treatment on the pitch after taking a blow to the head. They're both fine to continue, however.

Tietz's header doesn't trouble Ramaj

Mainz are straight back down the other end of the pitch. Lee floats a searching ball into the Heidenheim box, but Tietz's header is tame and too central to test the keeper.

Kaufmann fires just wide

The powerful striker pounces on some loose defending from Kohr, but his shot from just outside the box flashes wide. It's a pretty even contest so far, as many expected.

Veratschnig tries his luck from range

It's a good effort from the wing-back, whose shot from 25 yards forces Ramaj into conceding a corner. Heidenheim eventually clear their lines.

Early possession for the visitors

Schmidt will be pleased with his side's positive start to this one, as they are looking comfortable on the ball. Mainz, by contrast, are in no rush to press high up and retrieve it just yet.

We're underway!

Here we go then. Mainz are in their red and white home strip, Heidenheim are in all blue. Who will come out on top in this relegation six-pointer?

Coup d’envoi!

Table talk

Mainz and Heidenheim are separated by three points at the foot of the Bundesliga table. As such, Mainz will leapfrog tonight's opponents with a win, while Frank Schmidt's side can climb out of the relegation zone - for the time being at least - if they pick up all three points.

More on those teams

Mainz have made one change to their starting lineup from the Union Berlin draw, as Sieb starts in place of Hollerbach (who isn't even in the squad). This is Sieb's third start of the season and his first since Matchday 5. Heidenheim, meanwhile, make two changes to their starting eleven, with Gimber replacing Siersleben and Kaufmann starting in place of Conteh.

Fischer's Heidenheim record

The new Mainz boss has only faced Heidenheim four times as a manager, winning once, drawing once and losing twice. He'll hope to add another win to that in his fifth encounter with them tonight.

Identical output

Both sides have scored 15 goals this season, the joint-second lowest total in the league. Mainz have scored two goals in two of their last three games against Bayern Munich and Union Berlin, while Heidenheim also managed to score two against Cologne last time out. They've only hit three goals once between them, in Mainz's 4-3 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

Swapping places?

A win for Mainz would see them go 17th and Heidenheim drop to rock bottom of the Bundesliga. Although that would put them level on points, Mainz have the superior goal difference (-13 to Heidenheim's -21).

Urs Fischer on Mainz's progress

“We’ve developed a real sense of stability over the last few matches and put in solid performances. We can hold onto those positives and build on it, but it also sets a minimum level that we have to be up to. We need to try absolutely everything over the 90 minutes, we can’t do any more than that.”

Urs Fischer on facing Heidenheim

"I think it'll be an evenly-matched affair between two compact teams. The finer points, like set pieces, can be decisive in this kind of situation. We have quality in that regard. It's going to be a hard-fought battle. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how we pick up points as long as we do."

Frank Schmidt on facing Mainz

"With each passing game, it's becoming more important to pick up three points. It's going to be a mental test for us too. We need to show fighting spirit and defend with passion. We've put the frustration of drawing with Cologne behind us and are looking forward."

Three unbeaten

Their draw with Union made it three league games unbeaten for Mainz, all of which have been draws. Nevertheless, Mainz have been harder to beat under Urs Fischer - and appear to have found their shooting boots too.

Building blocks

Both sides took a step in the right direction with 2-2 draws in their previous games. Heidenheim are now only two points from safety, while Mainz have reduced the gap to 15th to just five points.
