Full-time: Heidenheim 0-0 Bochum
No goals at the Voith-Arena with both sides playing out a closely-fought contest of few clear-cut chances. A point apiece will likely be a satisfactory return for coaches Schmidt and Letsch.

No dice
Schlotterbeck and Pieringer clash in the Bochum box but the referee says nothing doing and we play on.

Riemann let off
Bochum's goalkeeper almost hands Heidenheim the lead. Nikola Dovedan's snapshot has power but it is central. Riemann pushes the ball back towards his own goal, spins and scoops it off the line at the last second.

Almost Asano
Takuma Asano nearly opens the scoring but the Japan international's shot following some fine control zips just wide.
71'
Gamboa alert
Heidenheim sub Marnon Busch sends a dangerous ball into the area towards Beste. Gamboa throws himself into the situation and manages to nudge the ball out for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Schlotterbeck sees yellow
Schlotterbeck wrestles the flying Eren Dinkçi to the floor and this game has one more booking.
61'
End-to-end
Suddenly this game is blown wide open and Bernardo is in on the left. Hard to say whether what the Brazilian produces is a shot or a cross but it goes close enough to Müller that the keeper has to parry away.
59'
Beste booked
The Heidenheim man tugs Asano back as Bochum look to break and that's a yellow card.
57'
Riemann rescues Bochum
Kleindienst is played through and Heidenheim's No. 10 gets a low shot away which Riemann gets down to block wide.

Müller's moment in the sun
Patrick Osterhage smashes a left-footed shot towards goal but it's just too central and although Müller's diving, two-handed stop is spectacular, the home keeper would have been expected to make that save.
51'
FCH bookings
A couple of rash challenges in quick succession sees Eren Dinkçi and then Jan Schöppner booked. For Dinkçi, that means a suspension for Heidenheim's next game against RB Leipzig.
49'
Bochum searching
Bochum are applying the early second-half pressure but the visitors are finding it tough to eek out a clear-cut chance.

Peeeep!
Bochum get us back underway in the second half.

No goals at the Voith-Arena as the teams head in for a deserved break on a chill early evening in Heidenheim.
43'
Bochum pressure
Stöger and Hofmann combine and suddenly it looks like Asano might be in, until Mainka steps in to concede the corner. Stöger wallops off target from teh resulting set piece.
37'
Set-piece threat
Beste is the man on corner duties once again for Heidenheim and the 24-year-old delivers one into the centre which Mainka can only head over.

Stöger has a pop
Stöger picks up possession before unleashing a low, left-footed drive from distance. Müller watches that all the way, with the ball fizzing harmlessly wide.

No go Stöger
Kevin Stöger takes a long time standing over a set-piece but the Austrian's delivery is poor and Heidenheim can clear easily. Still, it's been an entertaining start to this Matchday 12 encounter.

Asano responds
Immediately back up the other end we go and Asano latches onto the long ball before shooting well wide.
