Stuttgart opened the scoring in the 40th minute of the first half. After a beautiful play between the team, Stiller received the ball inside the area and passed it to the team’s top scorer Guirassy, who only had the job of pushing the ball into the back of the goal.
With just seven minutes of the final stage, Stiller increased the advantage for the home team. In a counterattack, the midfielder came face to face with the opposing goalkeeper after a beautiful pass from Undav. He shot between the archer’s legs and scored his team’s second.
Heidenheim’s response came in the 16th minute. Kleindienst took advantage of a corner kick and headed towards the goal. At first, goalkeeper Nubel even saved the ball, but let it escape and enter his own goal.
In the 38th minute the visitors looked for the score. Beste made a long throw and found Kleindienst invading the area. The German striker hit the ball straight into the net, without giving the rival goalkeeper a chance to save.
Heidenheim’s comeback came soon after, in the 39th minute. Dinkci was launched from the right wing and crossed into the area. Kleindienst rose free of marking and tried hard for the goal, scoring his second goal of the duel.
When the game seemed to be already decided, Stuttgart equalized in the last minute of stoppage time, more precisely in the 52nd minute. In desperation, Mittelstadt threw the ball from midfield into the penalty area and saw Undav dominate the chest, turn on the marker and hit a cross to stuff nets.
