First-half highlights:
4th minute: Friedl’s foul awards Heidenheim a free-kick from a promising position. Beste’s attempt hits the arm of Jung in the wall and the referee points to the spot.
5th minute: Tim Kleindienst scores the penalty for Heidenheim.
10th minute: With Pieper and Pavlenka being put under pressure at the back, Pieper is forced to hoof the ball out to protect his goalkeeper. The hosts are looking buoyed by their early opener and the game is predominantly being played in Werder's half.
13th minute: Woltemade attempts to play in Kownacki, but the ball doesn't quite reach him. Weiser creates a chance on the right, but Müller has it covered for the hosts.
21st minute: The ball comes to Kownacki on the left. He tries to get a shot away, but loses his footing. Stage is then able to have a go from long range, but his attempt at an equaliser is also unsuccessful.
28th minute: Pavlenka dives to block a low cross, but can only parry the ball to Kleindienst on the penalty spot. He could shoot with defenders scrambling back to the line, but decides to cut onto his left and takes a heavy touch. He finally pulls the trigger from a tight angle but the ball flies over the crossbar and SVW breathe a sigh of relief!
30th minute: Kownacki is taken down in the box, but referee Ittrich denies his appeals for a penalty. At the other end, Dinkci fires another Heidenheim effort over.
43rd minute: Weiser puts in a high cross, but no one is able to get on the end of it. Heidenheim counterattack...
44th minute: ...and double their lead in the dying seconds of the first half. Eren Dinkci leaves the Werder defence helpless and scores for the hosts.
