Heidenheim Upsets Stuttgart in Tense, Late-Game Thriller
1. FC Heidenheim secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart in Bundesliga matchday 31 at Stuttgart’s MHPArena on April 25th, 2025. Referee Tobias Welz oversaw the tightly contested match.
Stuttgart dominated possession, controlling 70% of the game and registering 17 shots, though only 3 were on target. However, Heidenheim proved more clinical. Despite possessing only 30% of the ball and managing just 6 shots, they found the back of the net. Heidenheim committed 16 fouls and received four yellow cards (Kratzig, Busch, Dorsch, and Conteh), yet held firm against Stuttgart’s pressure.
The match was a tense affair throughout. Heidenheim’s winning goal arrived in the 89th minute, courtesy of Honsak, assisted by Schoppner. This single strike, in a game defined by Stuttgart’s lack of discipline and Heidenheim’s resolute defense, proved decisive. Despite their numerous shots and possession advantage, Stuttgart couldn’t break down their opponents’ defense.
