Stuttgart equalise
The MHPArena erupts! Stuttgart play a long pass into the area. Undav - with his back to goal - takes possession, turns and dummies to shoot, which sends two Heidenheim defenders onto the turf. The striker then powers into the corner to equalise. Insane.

Heidenheim holding firm
The visitors are continuing to frustrate their hosts as Frank Schmidt's side edge towards what would be a phenomenal win, considering they were 2-0 down and headed for defeat in this encounter.

Stuttgart chance
Undav slams the ball into the side-netting as VfB frantically chase an equaliser. This is an insane ending to this game.

What. Is. Happening?
Heidenheim's fans erupt in the corner. The visitors are in front! Sloppy from Stuttgart in the middle of the park and suddenly Eren Dinkçi is in possession out on the right. His cross is met by Kleindienst, who heads home under absolutely no pressure from Nübel. Amazing.

Scenes! Beste swings one towards the far post from the left and Kleindienst connects superbly first time with the outside of the left boot. The ball flies in at the near post! Fabulous goal!

Mittelstädt off target
Mittelstädt fancies his chances with options inside the area. The 27-year-old hacks high and wide of the target and his teammates in the centre are none too pleased.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Silas hits the post
The substitute has the ball at his feet inside the Heidenheim area and looks to pick his spot. The Stuttgart forward - who was involved in a penalty claim moments earlier - drags a shot against the foot of the upright.

Kleindienst menacing
Nübel misses a punch with Kleindienst rising and hoping to meet the cross with a header. To the goalkeeper's relief, the ball flies away to safety.

Nübel howler
A terrible mistake from Nübel allows Heidenheim back into this game. The goalkeeper rose to catch Kleindienst's header from a corner, dropped the ball between his legs and somehow then managed to scoop it into the net.

Heidenheim pressure
The visitors have been enjoying a solid spell in these past moments, with Gimber and Beste enjoying back-to-back chances.

Stuttgart double up
Angelo Stiller plays the ball for Undav and then races on forward. Undav returns the favour for his onrushing teammate, who sits Müller on his backside before rolling in his very first goal for Stuttgart. That's a goal and an assist for Stiller today.

Beste chance
Kleindienst plays Beste through and suddenly Heidenheim are in! Beste's touch is just a little too heavy, however, and Nübel can get a toe to the ball to clear.

There it is!
It's all flicks and tricks and backheels as VfB score an eye-catching opener. Guirassy feeds a pass to Undav, who plays a heel pass to Stiller. The 22-year-old rolls across the face for Guirassy to tap in. That's goal number 23 of this Bundesliga campaign for the striker.

How has that not gone in? Führich releases Mittelstädt on the left and the Germany international chips an inviting pass into the middle. Guirassy rises high and heads goalwards from close range. Müller makes a brilliant, two-handed stop.

VfB denied
Tidy, very tidy from the hosts, but the goal won't stand. Chris Führich snaffles possession and speeds away down the left. He picks out Undav, who plays a quick pass in for Guirassy to slam home. Guirassy was an inch offside.

Guirassy gunning for records
Serhou Guirassy has scored 22 times in the league this season, a number only bettered in VfB colours across a single-season campaign by Mario Gomez (24 in 2008/09). Meanwhile, the hosts are unbeaten in eight (W7, D1) and the visitors are winless in five (D2, L3).
