Last season, Heidenheim played in the Bundesliga for the first time in history, immediately qualified for Europe, and opened the new German championship with two triumphs, thanks to which they waited for the first break as the leader…
However, although he did not disappoint this time either, he failed to withstand the hell of the legendary “Westphalia” and the pressure of Borussia – the giant from Dortmund won 4:2 in the first match of the 3rd round and took the top of the table with seven points.
It seemed during the first 45 minutes that Frank Schmidt’s nice team had no chance against Nuri Sahin’s team, as the “millionaires” on the wings of Karim Adeyemi led 2:0, then 3:1…
Nevertheless, in the continuation, Heidenheim reduced the score to 3:2, keeping Borussia’s temple of football in suspense for a long time, but Emre Can set the final score in stoppage time.
Borussia took the lead already in the 11th minute when he scored from the edge of the penalty area, and after an assist from Ademi, scored by Donijel Malen.
Six minutes later it was 2:0 – Adejemi finished the counterattack of his teammates in the right way.
Heidenheim quickly reminded him why he was the leader and why he will soon be playing in the Conference League – at 2:1 in the 39th minute. Marvin Pirigner reduced it with a header.
The lights of “Westphalia” came on again just five minutes later Adeyemi, who returned plus two for the host (3:1).
He took care of the drama in Dortmund Maksimilian Brojnig, who shook the net from the penalty spot in the 74th minute – before that, on the other side, Serhu Žirasi, the new addition to Borussia’s attack, had a great chance.
Point to this match and the second Bundesliga win this season for Borussia was put by captain Džan, also from the penalty spot.
Other matches of the third round will be played tomorrow and on Sunday, and Bayern Munich (visiting Kiel – Saturday, 6.30pm) and RB Leipzig (hosting Union Berlin – Saturday, 3.30pm) have a chance to overtake Borussia at the top.
