1. FC Heidenheim – Holstein Kiel

Heidenheim secured a narrow 1‑0 home win over Holstein Kiel, extending their lead in the table to third place with 13 points from six games – four victories, a draw and a single defeat, and a modest +2 goal difference. The result leaves the hosts comfortably ahead of the relegation‑battling visitors, who remain stuck in 16th place with just four points, having failed to win any of their six matches and sitting on a –3 goal deficit. The victory also maintains Heidenheim’s dominance in the head‑to‑head this season, as they are the only side to have taken all three points from Kiel. With the win, Heidenheim looks set to push for a top‑two finish, while Holstein’s struggle for points continues.
