Heidenheim keep survival hopes alive with crucial victory over St. Pauli
Heidenheim 2-0 St. PauliGoals: 1-0 Zivzivadze 3’ (assist: Schöppner), 2-0 Dinkçi 82’ (assist: Ramaj)
With the spectre of relegation looming, Heidenheim faced a must-win scenario against St. Pauli at the Voith-Arena. The match carried extra emotional weight for the hosts, who observed a pre-match minute's silence for Roger Prinzen, the club's youth academy head, who had unexpectedly passed away.
Defeat would have confirmed Heidenheim's return to the second tier after just two seasons in the top flight. Frank Schmidt's men entered the contest with the unwanted record of having failed to keep a clean sheet all season, while the visitors arrived with the league's most toothless attack, having scored just 26 goals in 30 matches.
