Eren Dinkçi concludes emotional week with a vital goal in Heidenheim’s relegation scrap
Dinkçi’s superb finish just under 10 minutes from time sealed the hosts’ win over relegation rivals Pauli and he rightfully received the fans’ adoration after full-time, although that was inevitable regardless of the result.
His partner, Cinja, was recently diagnosed with leukemia, making his on-field contributions to Heidenheim’s battle against the drop all the more exceptional.
Both Heidenheim and his former club Freiburg have shown their support for the couple, organising large registration campaigns for the German Bone Marrow Donor Registry (DKMS) ahead of their Bundesliga games on Matchdays 29, 30 and 31, with Cinja reliant on a stem cell donation for her treatment.
