Before the first leg of the relegation playoffs for the Bundesliga, the Heidenheimer fans had created a worthy setting. Unfortunately, the FCH professionals have not really taken this to heart so far.

A really cool choreography was conjured up by the home fans. Even if the "fortress" didn't quite live up to its name this season.

With only 11 points from 17 games, Frank Schmidt's team finished last in the home table. This relatively new weakness at the Brenz continued today.

The Elversberg team overcame the Bundesliga team's defense twice before the halftime whistle with two lightning-fast combinations through Lukas Petkov (18th) and Fisnik Asllani (42nd).

However, the Heidenheim team quickly raised their drawbridge after the break. Within three minutes, Tim Siersleben (62nd) and Mathias Honsak (65th) equalized the deficit with two rebounds. Meanwhile, it's an open-door day on both sides.
