Wolfsburg defeats Heidenheim: Drama and peat festival on the Ostalb!

Heidenheim, Deutschland - Heidenheim (dpa) - A gripping duel on the Ostalb! VfL Wolfsburg brought the 1st FC Heidenheim back to the reality of the Bundesliga with an impressive 3: 1.

weaknesses in defense

The leadership of the Wolfsburg was deserved, even if Heidenheim's keeper Kevin Müller didn't look good at the first goal. Gerhardt's shot was hidden, but was also not optimally placed. Müller had the ball bounced off, and the post did not help him. Despite more possession and some chances of the Heidenheimers, it was Wolfsburg that had the clearer possibilities. An early injury bad luck for VfL, as defender Joakim Maehle in the 20th minute, had to get off the pitch.

The Heidenheimers had their chances, but a supposed 1: 1 was not recognized because of a wafer -thin offside decision. After the break, Heidenheim pressed, and Pieringer caused excitement with a technically demanding hit. But VfL stayed cool and secured the deserved victory with a low shot from Tomás in the 90th minute. An exciting game that captivated the audience until the last minute!
