Outstanding performance
FC Heidenheim•DefenderDresden dominated possession (63%) and looked the more composed side for long stretches, taking the lead through Vincent Vermeij and hitting back through Robert Wagner to lead 1-2 after 73 minutes. But Heidenheim's own goal quirk levelled things at 2-2 before the home side's bench moves transformed the game, with substitutes Oualid Mhamdi, Julian Niehues and Maximilian Breunig all scoring in a stunning nine-minute span between the 87th and 90th minutes. Despite Dresden's territorial advantage and superior passing accuracy, Heidenheim were far more clinical, converting from 24 shots compared to Dresden's 17 and out-scoring them 5-3 despite conceding late through Jonas Sterner. The result piles more misery on Dresden's underwhelming form while offering Heidenheim a huge confidence boost from a game they looked set to lose.
