Outstanding performance
Heidenheim•DefenderHeidenheim delivered a clinical attacking display to secure a convincing 3-1 victory over Union Berlin, with Mathias Honsak's brace setting the tone early before Budu Zivzivadze sealed the points late on. Despite Union Berlin controlling possession (54%) and matching their hosts in shots on target, Heidenheim proved ruthlessly efficient in front of goal, converting three of their four big chances created. The hosts established early dominance through Honsak's close-range finishes in the 9th and 36th minutes, weathering Union's second-half fightback that saw Leopold Querfeld pull one back from a corner, before substitute Zivzivadze restored the two-goal cushion just four minutes later. This result continues Heidenheim's impressive home form while leaving Union Berlin searching for answers after another away day disappointment.
