Wolfsburg hit on the counter!
That could be it. Shortly after the hosts' great chance to equalise, Tomás scores for the Wolves. Behrens sets up the Portuguese, who dribbles past two opponents and then slides the ball past Müller into the net.
89'
Double chance for Heidenheim!
Grabara conjured a stunning double save to deny Heidenheim a leveller, the Wolfsburg keeper denying Honsak and then Schimmer in quick succession following a corner.

Conteh and Thomalla are the next two substitutes. Fresh attacking talent to level the score?

More forwards

Too long
Garbara sees yellow after taking too long to effect a goal kick.
77'
Over the top
Giant 195cm striker Breunig comes on for playmaker Wanner - might Heidenheim start looking to play long balls in to the box?

Substitution

Scienza looks for Schimmer
Scienza gets into yet another dangerous position down the right, and he picks out Schimmer with his cross, but the header in the six-yard box is no trouble for Grabara.

Too much to say
Wimmer sees yellow for remonstration after a throw was awarded to Heidenheim.
68'
Schöppner & Co. getting stronger
Heidenheim are playing with a lot of possession and finding better and better solutions as the game goes on. Schöppner, who has managed to free himself nine times in pressure situations, is a prime example of this.

Hiedenheim step on the gas
Heidenheim look to capitalise on their goal and keep the momentum shifting in their favour, but an offensive foul after wide free-kick sees their push stymied for now.
Unorthodox strike from Pieringer!

62'
Pieringer has a crack
The striker tries his luck from distance, but Koulierakis and Vavro are on the case and manage to block the shot.
60'
Die Wölfe tight at the back
The mercurial Traoré attempts a trademark break down the right flank but is shown the sideline by the Wolfsburg defence and the ball goes out for a goal kick. The visitors are soaking up whatever pressure the hosts are bringing - for now.
57'
Schmidt looking to attack
Frank Schmidt looks to reinforce his attacking sector by bringing on Beck and Schimmer.

Wolfsburg break
Baku gallops into space on the right but his early cross is too deep for his team-mates and Müller snaffles it up easily.
49'
Pieringer just short
A superb free-kick from Scienza sees the ball loop dangerously behind the defence and into the area, and Pieringer gets a touch, but it's not enough to trouble the keeper.
48'
Tactical foul
Fischer sees yellow after holding back Traoré as he threatened to break clear on the right touch line.
Kick-off!

We're back!
Can Heidenheim pull off a trademark fight-back? Or will Wolfsburg run away with it? Let's go!

39'
Scienza takes a shot
Heidenheim are awarded a free-kick on the edge of the area and although Scienza gets good contact on his direct shot, it flies just over the cross-bar.
37'
Wolfsburg on the counter - again
Wolfsburg remain a threat on the counterattack. Arnold wins the ball from Wanner, then breaks down the right. However, Fischer's cross is weak and easily dealt with by the Heidenheim defence.
35'
Vavro hits the post!
From the ensuing free-kick, Vavro smashes a low shot under the wall only to see it crash back off the base of the post. Müller was beaten hands-down!
34'
Koulierakis showing attacking instincts
Koulierakis gets involved in the attacking play and wins a free-kick in a good position after being brought down by Pieringer about 25 metres from goal.
32'
Honsak looking sharp
After having his effort ruled out for offside - just the tip of his foot was over - Honsak is looking determined to strike again.
29'
Late tackle
The midfielder commits a tactical foul and sees the first yellow card of the match.
28'
Wolfsburg on the counter
On the break, Amoura conjures a superb through-ball for Wimmer, but Müller drops smartly and denies the Austrian.
25'
Goal ruled out
Heidenheim thought they had bagged the equaliser, Honsak stabbing home after a corner - but the linesman's flag went up and a VAR check ruled the strike out for off-side.
23'
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.
20'
Forced substitution
Mæhle pulls up short with what looks like a thigh complaint and cannot continue. Zesiger comes on in his place.

Wimmer denied again
Clean through on Müller's goal, Wimmer goes one-on-one but the Heidenheim keeper redeems himself for his earlier mistake by saving with his foot. Sensational!
11'
Heidenheim settling in
After conceding the quickest goal in their Bundesliga history, Heidenheim are carving out a foothold in the match. Scienza finds space once again, but again his cross poses Wolfsburg no problems.
8'
Rocket Scienza
Scienza breaks down the right for the hosts, but his chipped ball across the face of goal finds no takers.
7'
Wimmer threatens
The break-neck start to the match continues as an umarked Wimmer carves out a chance in the area - but Gimber slides in to block the shot. Crucial!
5'
Heidenheim look to hit right back
The hosts look to reply immediately and get a corner, but Dorsch's delivery is cut out at the near post.
Early opener for Wolfsburg!
