Almost a hat-trick for Kleindienst, but his effort is stopped by Müller before he Čvančara shoots over.

Another huge chance
A wonderful opening for Conteh to equalise, but he doesn't connect well enough and Nicolas can easily gather.

Huge stop!
Nicolas produces a brilliant save to tip Kaufmann's header over the crossbar.

Heidenheim pull one back!
This one might not be over just yet! The visitors receive a penalty after Weigl handles in the area, and Pieringer sends Nicolas the wrong way to halve the deficit. A little less than 10 minutes - plus injury time - for Heidenheim to find an equaliser.

It had to be!
Gladbach are in front courtesy of former Heidenheim striker Kleindienst's clever goal. Pléa fires a ball into the box, and the centre-forward backheels into an empty net. The Foals are good value for their lead - can they hold on?

Beck over
A good opportunity for Heidenheim. However, the forward side-foots his volley well over the crossbar. That was a bit of a let-off for Gladbach.

Kleindienst shoots over
The new Germany international has only had a couple of half-chances today. This one is probably his best, but he can't keep his shot from inside the area down.
51'
Pieringer denied
Heidenheim do get forward and Pieringer heads towards goal. However, there isn't enough strength in the attempt and Nicolas can hold.

Gladbach pressing
The home are continuing where they left off, looking to complete the turnaround.

Gladbach in control
Seoane's men have their opponents penned back in their own half, with Heidenheim rarely able to release the pressure. They do have a free-kick in Gladbach's half here, though.

Great save
Müller makes a far more difficult stop on this occasion, pushing Hack's header over the crossbar.
25'
Honorat denied
The hosts are looking to assert their superiority here, as Müller holds the French winger's outside-of-the-foot shot.
22'
Back on level terms!
Just what Gladbach needed. Die Fohlen win a corner and, although it is initially cleared, they keep the chance alive. Pléa's low cross is deflected into the path of Itakura, who takes a touch a hammers into the corner. All square!
15'
What now?
Gladbach have only come from behind to win once under Seoane. What can they produce in response here?
12'
Heidenheim in front!
The visitors have the advantage! Schöppner's shot does have too much pace on it, but Nicolas can only push it into the path of Scienza, who buries on the rebound.

Heidenheim exceeding expectations again
After losing key players this summer, many fans may have expected a slow start to 2024/25, but Heidenheim have once again surpassed expectations with some brilliant performances in the opening weeks of only their second season in the Bundesliga.
Gladbach looking to bounce back
Their most recent loss to Augsburg was their fourth of the season, so Gladbach will be desperate to get back on track with three points against Heidenheim. They have performed well in some of their defeats, but they need to turn those performances into results.
