The Bochum sub impresses with a pair of deft dribbles before taking a shot, but Müller saves well from a tight angle.

Just when Bochum thought they had scored their third goal, Daschner having tapped in after some fine work and a perfect low cross from Passlack, the strike is denid for offside.

Bochum counterattack, Bero drives the ball forward and then passes to Hofmann. He pulls into the box from the left in front of goal and wants to slam the ball under the crossbar, but Müller bumps it over with his fingertips.

With Wittek showing signs of wear and tear after a lung-busting performance thus far, Hecking opts to bring on Medić in his place.

Broschinski and Bero break on the counter, with the former played in on the left-hand side of the area. Just as he is about to shoot, however, the furiously back-pedalling Dorsch slides and blocks the shot. Heroic stuff! Heidenheim are hanging on by the skin of their teeth here!

The Excellent Sissoko wins the ball in midfield and breaks down the right before sending a looping high ball forward. Hofmann managed to end up with it and picks out a fine pass for Bero, but the goalscorer spurns the chance with a sharp low finish that goes just wide of the post. That could have killed the match off!

Not only are Bochum on track for a first win of the season, they're also staring down the barrel of a first clean sheet for the campaign. Can Hecking's men hold out?

After a great cross from Wittek on the left, Hofmann rises at the far post and heads the ball dangerously back across the face of goal - but there is no-one there to take advantage.

Wittek remains on the ground for a few moments after a collision with Traoré, but the Bochum man is able to continue playing.

Bernado plays an ideal ball into the run of Wittek, sparking a counterattack. Wittek looks for Broschinski with a long ball, but Dorsch is able to block with a sliding tackle at the last moment.

The Bochum goalscorer sees yellow after fouling Honsak with a trailing leg. That's the sixth yellow of this hotly contested relegation battle.

This time Passlack takes charge of the dead ball. He curls the free-kick in from around 18 metres out, right in front of goal, but it flies just wide of the right-hand post. So close!

Wittek takes the ensuing free-kick but the only danger is to the wall.

There will be an additional 60 seconds.

That was Bero's third goal of the season, sending him to the top of the Bochum socrers chart. The 29-year-old Slovakian has scored more times so far this season than he did in the entire last Bundesliga campaign (one goal).

Passlack plays the striker in on the left, just outside the box, and he decides to shoot quickly, but Mainka gets in front of him to block.

After Losilla brings down Pieringer in midfield, Bernardo kicks the ball away to prevent a quick free-kick. Yellow card.

Bero sends a dangerous free-kick from the left looping towards the far post, where Sissoko does well to get a touch. But he can't control it and the move breaks down.

Bochum have been awarded a corner, but there is a lot of scrambling in the box before it's taken. When it is struck, the referee whistles for an attacking foul - free-kick for Heidenheim.

After opening the scoring, Bochum continue to push forward. Heidenheim have struggled to withstand the pressure from the home side in the opening minutes. Can Bochum keep it up and finally get their first win of the season today? There's still a long way to go...

Bero hits a corner from the right exactly onto the penalty spot, where Ordets gets a header. However, his effort into the bottom right corner is cleared by Honsak, who is positioned well.

But Wittek's attempt to set up Bero with a high ball into the area fails. He gets too much on it and the ball rolls across the by-line.
