The next Mohr corner comes with an unbelievable amount of swerve into the short corner, where Pavlenka really speculates and can punch the ball away from the front. Busch then chases the second ball into the stands.
35
21:06
Brilliant parade Müller! Substitute Agu brings the ball from the left almost perfectly into the run of Füllkrug, who hits the ball perfectly from eleven meters and balances it on the bottom left corner. How Müller still parries this hard header to the side is almost unbelievable. In addition, the Brenz team is lucky that Bittencourt kicks the ball over the ball when it has a chance to score.

21:03
With a high ball from Heidenheim, Friedl has to sprint and falls to the ground after a few meters. He indicates that he has to go down. Agu takes over. Bitter for the guests, who already had to react to Toprak’s short-term failure.

Substitution at Werder Bremen: Felix Agu

Substitution at Werder Bremen: Marco Friedl

21:01
Friedl always keeps his side. Looks a lot like Werner has to make his first change right away.
28
20:59
Mohr enters the penalty area on the left and then crosses sharply to the right, where Friedl can clear the ball, but hits the ground hard. The 23-year-old needs treatment on the pitch but seems ready to continue.
26
20:56
On the other hand, the hosts from the Ostalb remain dangerous. Stefan Schimmer refuels in the direction of the penalty area and then shoots from 18 meters to the bottom left corner. The low shot just missed the Bremen goal.
24
20:54
Weiser dribbles in the opponent’s sixteen, attracts three opponents and then puts it down the run of Füllkrug, who aims for the short corner from eight meters flat. Müller clears the corner with a foot defense, which then brings nothing further.
22
20:53
After a corner from Heidenheim, Werder made a counterattack. Bittencourt hits the ball high from the bottom, but Busch is there and is the last man to save with a perfectly timed tackle.
20
20:50
Both teams don’t stay in midfield any longer than necessary and play happily up front. The pace is pleasantly high. Only the first hit is still a long time coming.
17
20:48
Post for Bremen! Füllkrug takes the ball well and then passes to Bittencourt, who is lucky that opponent Schöppner slipped. Accordingly, the trajectory is clear for today’s Werder captain, who, however, only hits the left inside post from 15 meters. Almost parallel to the goal line, the ball flies in the direction of the touchline. Lucky for the Brenz team.
15
20:45
Groß finds Weiser with a wonderful diagonal ball over half the pitch. The cross doesn’t find anyone, but the ball comes back to Weiser, who just tries it himself from a half-right position. The low shot would have fit perfectly into the lower left corner, but Müller is on the ground in time and parries.
12
20:42
Sessa plays a powerful deep pass that works in cool weather. Friedl is there at the last second and clears the corner with a tackle. However, the stationary ball from the left slips off Sessa and cannot be found in the backcourt.

20:40
The next big chance for the hosts: Mohr pulls the corner from the right with a lot of swerve to the back post, where cool weather keeps his foot in, but misses the ball by a hair’s breadth.
8th
20:38
Weiser chips the ball from the right half-field at the perfect moment into the top, where Ducksch takes the ball directly from the turn. Bremen’s goalgetter doesn’t hit the ball perfectly, however, resulting in an easy shot that Müller can safely bury under himself.

20:36
The hosts are in no hurry to move forward. Rather, the FCH is lurking for further opportunities to swarm out at lightning speed in the switching game. The SVW is running the ball well and offers nothing.
2
20:33
Big chance Heidenheim! The hosts get going like the fire brigade and with a simple one-two the FCH undermines the entire defensive chain of the guests. Mohr marches alone and freely towards Pavlenka, who stands for a long time and prevents the impact in the manner of an ice hockey keeper. Mohr has to do that, however, as he lacks precision in the shot from 13 meters.

20:31
The ball is rolling in the Ostalb. The hosts play all in red. The guests from Bremen are dressed in black. Here we go.
20:02
Incidentally, both teams are facing each other in a competitive game for the sixth time today. After two encounters in the cup, this duel also happened at the end of the 2019/20 season in the relegation, when the North Germans managed to stay up after two draws on the away goals rule. In a conventional point game, there is only the second meeting today. In the first leg on October 1, 2021, Werder won 3-0 in their own stadium.
19:54
Most recently, FCH lost 3-2 away at Darmstadt 98 despite leading 2-0 in the meantime. Coach Frank Schmidt still gives the core of the eleven the last week’s confidence. There is only one change: Kevin Sessa is preferred to Maurice Malone (bench). Meanwhile, Tim Kleindienst and Patrick Mainka are back in the squad, but initially only sit on the bench.
19:48
1. FC Heidenheim goes into the home game in poor form. The team from the Ostalb has been waiting for another threesome for four consecutive league games and only scored two out of twelve possible points. At least the FCH is considered strong at home. Of the previous twelve home games in the 2nd Bundesliga, the Baden-Württembergers have only lost one game (seven wins, four draws). With only eleven goals conceded in the Voith Arena, the Brenz team also has the best home defense in the second division.
19:42
Werder recently celebrated a 2-1 home win over Dynamo Dresden, which needs to be confirmed today. Ole Werner does without too much rotation and only changes twice compared to the most recent win. After serving a suspension, Romano Schmid is back in the starting XI for Niklas Schmidt (bank). In addition, Lars-Lukas Mai stands in for Ömer Toprak (muscle injury), who was absent at short notice.
19:36
The SVW is still unbeaten under Ole Werner and scored an incredible 28 out of a possible 30 points from the ten league games under the beginning successor. The four-time German champion is taking big steps towards returning to the Bundesliga. After St. Pauli and Darmstadt only drew on matchday 26, the Green-Whites also have a great chance to extend their lead in second place to three points tonight.
Good evening and welcome from the Voith Arena. Here, 1. FC Heidenheim welcomes SV Werder Bremen at 8:30 p.m. today as part of the 26th matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga.
