Augsburg 1-0 Heidenheim
Goals: Claude-Maurice 80’ (pen)
The stakes were high as Augsburg welcomed bottom-of-the-table Heidenheim to the WWK-Arena.
The hosts entered the match unbeaten in six home games, having never dropped points against their opponents on home soil. However, Manuel Baum's side had been struggling with set pieces, conceding eight goals from dead-ball situations since the turn of the year.
For Frank Schmidt's Heidenheim, the situation was desperate. With just 13 points from 21 matches, they were already four points adrift of the relegation play-off spot. Having taken only two points from their previous eight matches, Heidenheim arrived as the Bundesliga's weakest team statistically, having scored the fewest goals (19) and conceded the most (47).
