More Muller magic
Burkardt cuts in and unleashes a shot. It's not only deflected but there's a glut of bodies in the way and Muller still saves well.

A bad booking for FCH
Kleindienst gets booked for a tangle with Van den Berg and will miss a crucial clash with Freiburg next time out.

Quality from Muller
Burkardt looks certain to score as he drifts through Heidenheim's box and prepares to finish but Muller gets his hand in at the last moment for a brilliant goalkeeper tackle.

Lovely effort from Beste
Beste finds some space just outside of the Mainz box and tries to place one into the corner and it almost catches out Zentner when everyone was expecting him to put his foot through the ball.

Huge chance!
Dinkci is found out wide and has plenty of time to put the ball past Zentner but the keeper closes him down and snuffs out what should have been the equaliser.

Mainz caged in
Heidenheim are trying to work some set piece magic with a pair of corners but Zentner is dealing with things so far...
49'
Goal line clearance!
Dinkci makes a goal line clearance on Ajorque but the flag goes up. That may well have stood had the ball gone in and it been checked...
48'
Caci again
Mainz fashion the game's first chance and it's Caci again, the man who provided the opener. He runs down the left wing and sends in a dangerous ball that Ajorque just misses out on.

We're back underway
Heidenheim kick us back off and head straight for the Mainz box.

Some bad news to end the half
Just before the whistle blew for the break Mainz captain Widmer went down and is now receiving treatment pitch side. Replays show a very nasty-looking twist of the knee for a player who has only just returned from injury.

What a finish
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).

Burkardt with the opener!
Mainz take the lead and this could be a huge goal. A great spell of possession ends with a Caci cross into the box and just before it hits the floor Burkardt ghosts in and hits it into the corner first time. That's a world class finish!

How's that not gone in?!
A simple ball over the top to Kleindienst causes all sorts of problems. It's a great first touch from the striker but as Zentner challenges him it almost bounces off Heidenheim no.10 and into the back of the net.

Barreiro in the book
Barreiro gets the games first yellow while desperately trying to keep his side on the attack. The midfielder has conceded the second-most fouls in the Bundesliga this season.

Crucial from Gimber
Gimber just beats Ajorque to a ball forward. If he hadn't we could have easily seen the opener.

Great attack from FCH
Beste and Pieringer combine brilliantly and when the latter is found in the box his touch gets away with him, just as he looked ready to shoot from close range.

First shot on target
Dinkci finds plenty of space through the heart of midfield and hits a rocket at the Mainz goal, thankfully for Zentner, it's right at him, and he bats the thumping effort away from his goal.

What's at stake
This game has taken on an increased importance following Cologne's 0-0 draw with Freiburg last night. Victory for Mainz tonight would mean they can no longer be automatically relegated this season. Heidenheim could jump from 11th to 8th in the table with a win, and close in on European football in their first-ever Bundesliga season.

All eyes on Mainz
It's a massive day for Mainz. If they win today, Cologne are officially relegated and their own hopes of survival are kept alive. If the 05ers lose, one of Union and Bochum could pull further clear of the bottom-three. Hosts Heidenheim, meanwhile, are just four points back from seventh and would move to within a point of a European place with victory.
