The top game of the 2nd Bundesliga on Friday evening (September 2nd, 2022) between 1. FC Heidenheim and Fortuna Düsseldorf was decided very late. Tim Kleindienst shot Heidenheim to the top of the table.
In the fairly balanced game, Heidenheim took the lead with a goal that was preceded by an intense duel between Adrian Beck and Düsseldorf’s Matthias Zimmermann. The final contact with the ball probably came from the Heidenheim attacker (23rd).
Compensation by Kownacki, but then the winning goal follows
Düsseldorf equalized after just under an hour: After a wide corner kick from the right flag, Christoph Klarer nodded into the center of the six-yard box. Dawid Kownacki completed the straddling four meters into the left corner (59th).
Tim Kleindienst scored the winning goal in the 87th minute of the game, when the game gave the impression that neither team was going to play for the triple point win: Heidenheimer converted a rebound after an attempted shot by Stefan Schimmer. Heidenheim is the leader of the table for the time being thanks to the success.
