Full-time: Heidenheim 1-3 Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg claimed a deserved win in Heidenheim thanks to some clinical finishing and solid defending against a Heidenheim side who maintained the pressure, especially after Pieringer's goal in the second half. But by this stage they were already two goals down and Tomás' classy strike at the very end of regulation time tipped the balance in the visitors' favour.

Unorthodox strike from Pieringer!

After a corner, and despite being flat on his back after a collision with a defender, Pieringer somehow manages to make contact on the loose ball and blasts it into the top right-hand corner. Game on!

Half-time: Heidenheim 0-2 Wolfsburg

An early goal from Gerhardt got the visitors off to a drewam start, and with Honsak's reply for Heidenheim rules out for off-side, Wolfsburg pressed home their advantage through Dárdai just before the break. Plenty of work for Frank Schmidt's men to do in the second half!

Koulierakis goes close

The central defender is unmarked at the far post and makes good contact on an incoming corner, but it's well blocked by the defence.

Early opener for Wolfsburg!

After a spell of early pressure, Wolfsburg work the ball around the edge of the Heidenheim area before Gerhardt's snap shot from 20 metres betas Müller low at his far post. The home keeper will be kicking himself for letting it slip past him.
