Heidenheim fights bravely, but HSV knocks out the cup for FCH!
On Tuesday evening, October 29, 2025, an exciting DFB Cup game took place in the Voith Arena between FC Heidenheim (FCH) and Hamburger SV, which was lost 0-1 despite great efforts by the Heidenheim team. The backdrop was impressive: the arena was sold out and the atmosphere in the stadium was electric. Unfortunately, the result fell short of expectations fc-heidenheim.de reported.
The game was characterized by a lot of intensity. Hamburger SV opened the game in the third minute with the first chance to score through Miro Muheim. However, Heidenheim's keeper Diant Ramaj showed his skills and prevented an early deficit in the seventh minute. FCH also appeared to be offensive; Luca Kerber had a promising opportunity in the tenth minute, but it remained unused.
A violent turning point
A decisive moment came in the 28th minute when the referee awarded a free kick against FCH after a header duel. Even more serious was the red card for Tim Siersleben in the 45th minute, which sent the Heidenheim team into the second half outnumbered. Coach Frank Schmidt reacted quickly to the situation and brought Niklas Dorsch and Marnon Busch on for Kerber and Omar Traoré in the second half.
In the following period, Heidenheim did everything he could to remain stable on defense. Ramaj proved to be a rock when he saved a shot from Alexander Rössing-Lelesiit in the 55th minute. But HSV remained dangerous and challenged Heidenheim until the end. In the 79th minute, Marvin Pieringer had a good opportunity that could have turned the game around, but the offensive efforts were unsuccessful.
The decision in the final phase
The final point came in the 83rd minute when Robert Glatzel converted a controversial penalty kick and made it 0-1 for HSV. Heidenheim tried everything in the final phase to equalize. Adam Kölle had a good chance with a header in the 87th minute, but the ball just didn't want to go into the net.
The referee Benjamin Brand from Schwebheim then showed yellow-red to FCH coach Frank Schmidt, so that the heated atmosphere suited the game perfectly. The final score: 0-1 for Heidenheim, which was not rewarded despite all their efforts. The next opponent for Frank Schmidt's team is Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, the challenge remains great.
