Heidenheim won 3-1 in Cologne and kept their hopes of staying in the league alive. Jan Schöppner and Arijon Ibrahimovic scored for 1. FC Heidenheim. The decision on relegation will be made on the last matchday. Heidenheim's coach Frank Schmidt had said before the game that his team had nothing to lose. And indeed, the visitors went into the game with confidence, which they absolutely had to win. The Cologne team, for whom Marius Bülter scored, was already safe before the game started. Heidenheim remained dominant against the careless FC. Heidenheim's lead through Jan Schöppner in the 8th minute was immediately equalized by Marius Bülter. But Arijon Ibrahimovic brought Heidenheim back into the lead in the 28th minute. The decision was made in the 72nd minute, when Jan Schöppner scored his second goal. Heidenheim's goalkeeper Frank Feller, who had been surprisingly promoted to the new number one, showed a strong performance. The 22-year-old had suffered a serious knee injury before the season, was out for months, and had recently returned to a high level in training. Heidenheim drew level with Wolfsburg and St. Pauli on points and now has a chance to avoid relegation. The decision will be made on the last matchday, when Heidenheim faces Mainz.
