What is happening in Heidenheim! The hosts were 2-0 in front a little over ten minutes ago but now trail after Andrej Kramaric's late, late penalty. A Hoffenheim smash and grab is on the cards!

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Heidenheim ahead
Heidenheim fans will no doubt be joyfully discussing that opening half. The first 45 minutes of Bundesliga football at the Voith-Arena will be remembered for Jan-Niklas Beste's penalty miss and his subsequent free-kick cracker that put the hosts ahead.
