Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play.

Chance for Heidenheim
Léo Scienza is fouled on the right, giving the Brazilian an opportunity to cross the ball in. It falls back out to Zivzivadze, who lashes a shot wide.
