1. FC Heidenheim secured their third consecutive league win with a 1-0 victory at Holstein Kiel on Saturday, reinforcing their strong early-season form in the 2. Bundesliga. The narrow away triumph was significantly influenced by a red card shown to Kiel, which paved the way for Heidenheim's breakthrough in the second half.
Föhrenbach capitalises on the advantage
After the hosts were reduced to ten men in the 65th minute, Heidenheim found the winner. In the 83rd minute, Jonas Föhrenbach converted an assist from Mikkel Kaufmann to score the game's only goal. "We managed the situation after the card well and used our advantage consistently," said coach Frank Schmidt post-match. The victory solidified Heidenheim's position in third place, now on 12 points from five games.
