Heidenheim triumphs: 2-0 victory in Edinburgh despite a weak start!

Heidenheim. A dramatic evening for 1. FC Heidenheim in Scotland! In a gripping duel against Heart of Midlothian, the team experienced a first half that urged them on the defensive. Coach Frank Schmidt spoke of a "bumbazed" condition when the Scots put pressure on early. But the Heidenheimers stayed cool and went into the half -time break with a 0-0, which Schmidt considered a small victory.

The second half brought the turn! Sirlord Conteh put Heidenheim in the lead with a spectacular aircraft in the 57th minute. Shortly before the final whistle, Jan Schöppner made the 2-0 final score perfect. "We struck at the right time," cheered Schmidt and at the same time called for a better initial phase for the next game.

FCH as a model for Wolfsburg

Now the view of VfL Wolfsburg, which is a guest in the Voith Arena on Sunday. Heidenheim took the wolves, which are on 14th place in the table, as a role model, since the Heidenheimers were able to move into the Conference League last season despite a weak start. However, Schmidt remains focused: "The Bundesliga is our absolute core business, we absolutely want to keep the class." While the Heidenheimers shine with five wins from five international games, VfL hopes for a turn in the league.
