The hosts had their first big opportunity in the sixth minute. However, Kwasi Okyere Wriedt failed from close range to goalkeeper Kevin Müller, who cleverly shortened the angle.
In the 21st minute, Wriedt was also unable to head past the FCH keeper. In the 42nd minute it was Wriedt again who missed the ball and the goal while falling. Heidenheim’s Christian Kühlwetter was unlucky with a shot into the crossbar (51′).
Kiel will play Werder Bremen next matchday (Friday, 6:30 p.m.). Heidenheim then welcomes Fortuna Düsseldorf.
