Heidenheim finally launches its season. After two defeats and a draw conceded against Borussia Dortmund a fortnight ago, the promoted German won their first victory against Werder Bremen this Sunday at home (4-2). Kleindienst opened the scoring (5th), before Dinkci added to the score (44th).
Upon returning from the locker room, the promoted still gave himself a scare by being joined after the goals from Ducksch (49th) then Weiser (64th). Dinkci, for the double (68th), then Beste (76th), finally completed the victory for their team. With this victory, Heidenheim moves up to 11th position in the ranking, just ahead of its opponent of the day, now 12th.
