End of 1st half

21:18
The FCH comes close to the penalty area twice, but the promoted team cannot finish both times because they act sloppy in the passing game. BVB therefore has no trouble preventing deals.
45
21:17
After a strong pass from deep Malen is suddenly on the ball eight meters in front of the goal in a half-right position. The attacker is pressed by Beste at the last second, so that he is prevented from completing the ball.

21:16
Official injury time (minutes): 2

21:16
Adeyemi hits Theuerkauf on the foot and stops for a moment. The veteran can continue playing after a short breather.
43
21:14
Malen almost scores in the third league game too! Once again, a cross sails from the right in the direction of the second post, from where Haller puts the leather on the waiting marks. The Dutchman does not fully hit the ball from a central position of 16 meters, which hisses delicately over the crossbar.
40
21:11
Beste takes a free-kick far too low into the center from the left half-field, so that the home team has no problems cleaning up the situation. Heidenheim has been too harmless offensively so far and seems hesitant.
37
21:08
…and it won’t be harmless. Malen takes care of it from a half-left position from 18 meters away from the goal, but fires the ball into the wall. From there, Wolf falls the leather in front of his feet, but he cannot finish cleanly from ten meters in front of the storming Müller.
35
21:05
Yellow card for Eren Dinkçi (1. FC Heidenheim 1846)
The offensive player can only stop the agile Bensebaini on the right near the edge of the box by letting his leg stand. Sure thing and free kick for BVB from a top position.
32
21:03
Dortmund is now falling deeper and leaves the leather to Heidenheim. The promoted team doesn’t get particularly far – if the ball gets in the direction of Dortmund’s third, it’s gone immediately. Sule grabs.
30
21:01
After a sloppy pass in the build-up, Heidenheim wants to switch to the clearly more active right side. Dinkçi, however, has no point of reference deep in the opponent’s half and gets stuck.
27
20:58
Dinkçi is passed by Traoré on the right in the penalty area and shoots from 15 meters. The timid low shot is no problem for Kobel, who buries the ball under himself.
26
20:57
Dortmund sniffs the third goal! Again, the BVB shifted class to the right side, where Wolf has space and is flat in the penalty area. There he finds Sabitzer, whose low shot whizzes past the left goal post with the first contact.
24
20:55
…Beste takes the corner from the right and targets the back post where Kleindienst lurks. From the attacker, however, a head of a black and yellow comes to the leather, which can just clean up.
23
20:54
For the first time, FCH combined from the opposition pressure into the offensive third, on the right side it was over for Dinkçi in a duel with Schlotterbeck. The central defender resolutely clears the corner…
20
20:52
Suddenly, after a deep pass, Sabitzer is free in the starting area, but he fails with his low shot into the right corner at the brilliantly parrying Müller – great foot defense from the Heidenheim keeper!
20
20:51
Dortmund is currently managing the events without giving offensive impulses. Heidenheim looks knocked and has to shake himself first.
17
20:49
It is a bitter initial phase for Heidenheim, who made a good impression in the first few minutes and presented their first offensive approaches. The climber must now find a quick answer to get back into the game. However, BVB continues to control what is happening, Heidenheim is mainly required on the defensive.

20:45
Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 2:0 by Emre Can
The captain stays cool and slides flat into the left corner. Müller, on the other hand, was on his way to the other corner – Can loaded him in the classic way.
14
20:44
The referee looks at the scene again and awards a penalty. The decision is understandable because of Maloney’s arm sticking out.
12.
20:44
Brand tries to put the ball past Maloney in the penalty area, who crashes into the defender’s outstretched arm. In this situation, the VAR could intervene…
10
20:42
The first goal approach of the FCH! Beste moves to the right with pinpoint accuracy, where Traoré goes to the baseline in the penalty area and looks for a taker in the centre. Schlotterbeck keeps his foot on the first post and clears the corner, which Dortmund can clear with a header.
7.
20:37
Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 1:0 by Julian Brandt
BVB leads early! After a great diagonal ball, Malen has room on the right to cross into the centre. There, the climber clears too short, so that the ball bounces from Can to Brand on the edge of the penalty area. From ten meters out, the midfielder sinks the ball under the crossbar from a half-right position.
5.
20:36
Dortmund controls what is happening without coming to clear conclusions so far. The FCH grabs before their own third and is snappy in the duels. The promoted player in the person of Mainka also gets a half-field cross from Bensebaini with a head.
3.
20:33
BVB immediately grabs the ball and wants to put direct pressure on the opposing goal. Bensebaini then tried it from the second row, but only hit referee Reichel from a half-left position. BVB is dominant in the early minutes.
1.
20:30
The 3rd game day is on! Referee Tobias Reichel approved the game, in which Dortmund will play in yellow and black and Heidenheim in white.

game start
20:14
Both coaches change twice compared to the previous week. BVB coach Terzić brings in Süle for Hummels in central defense and Adeyemi for Nmecha in attack – Brand will probably move back to the center of midfield and could provide more creativity from this position. Heidenheim’s trainer Schmidt puts the veteran Theuerkauf on the left-back position instead of Föhrenbach, instead of attacker Pieringer, midfield motor Beck should also ensure more balance.
20:05
Although Heidenheim is currently not in a good position with zero points, it was by no means without a chance in its first two games. They are even the eighth best team in the league in terms of expected points – just one place behind today’s opponents. The promoted team, who has already fired at goal 30 times, was particularly convincing in an offensive manner. Only four teams shot more often towards the opposing goal. BVB must pay particular attention to ex-protégé Jan-Niklas Beste, who impressed in the first two games and scored fantastically against Wolfsburg.
19:55
After an arduous opening win against 1. FC Köln, BVB could not convince in their second game in Bochum and did not get beyond a draw. The problem zone was the midfield in the first games. Borussia rarely got creative in attack and the dreaded three-man attack was hardly staged. The departure of star player Jude Bellingham is still clearly noticeable in the black and yellow. Not only does attacker Malen, who has scored both goals for Dortmund, give hope, but the signing of Füllkrug also promises more goal danger.
19:45
This Friday evening is a duel between David and Goliath. BVB only narrowly missed out on the championship last season, while Heidenheim sensationally made it into the top German division for the first time. Nevertheless, the FCH are by no means without a chance today: on the last matchday they led 2-0 against Hoffenheim for a long time, rather the Kraichgauer turned the game around in the last second. BVB didn’t make a confident impression in their first two games – last weekend they couldn’t get past a 1-1 draw. Borussia are always vulnerable, but they still go into the game as big favorites.
19:29
Hello and welcome to Matchday 3 of the Bundesliga! The football weekend will open at 8:30 p.m. with Borussia Dortmund and 1. FC Heidenheim in Signal-Iduna-Park.
