Heidenheim controlled this game from start to finish, racking up 14 shots to Bielefeld's 6 and doubling their opponents in dangerous attacks, yet they couldn't turn that dominance into a win. Bielefeld struck first through Joel Grodowski off a corner, then rode their luck as Heidenheim leveled through a Zivzivadze penalty and Hennrich's assisted finish just before the break to lead 2-1 at halftime. But Bielefeld's resilience showed again early in the second half when substitute Felix Hagmann, on just nine minutes after coming on, equalized to make it 2-2. Heidenheim will be frustrated - five big chances created but only one converted, and five saves from Bielefeld's keeper kept the visitors from taking all three points, while the result leaves both sides in the thick of a congested table with work still to do.
