A last-minute goal against 1. FC Heidenheim has tightened the result crisis of VfB Stuttgart. The DFB Cup finalist lost 0: 1 (0-0) against the strongly at risk of relegation in Württemberg and thus had to accept the sixth home bankruptcy in the Bundesliga one after the other.
Mathias Honsak shocked the hosts of coach Sebastian Hoeneß with his goal in the 89th minute. The runner -up of the past season and current table elevators can write more and more to write down that the aim of catching up for the European Cup places in the league is still working.
In the past ten Bundesliga departures, only three points jumped out for the Stuttgart. Ten minutes before the end, substitute Nick Woltemade had missed the lead for the Stuttgart team with a crossbar as well as Deniz Undav with a header on the post. Only with a win in the cup final against the third -class outsider Arminia Bielefeld should it be possible to move into the Europa League.
The Heidenheimers of coach Frank Schmidt can look forward to important points after three defeats in series in the fight for relegation relegation rank. After there was hardly anything from the guests on the offensive for a long time, Honsak caused collective cheers. It could be an important encouragement for the game on May 2 against the direct relegation competitor VfL Bochum.
