Next Saturday Heidenheim will play against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, while Frankfurt awaits 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Sunday.

Despite the draw, Heidenheim can continue to rely on the morale of their players. In the 63rd minute, two fresh players, Jonathan Burkardt and Nnamdi Collins, were sent onto the field to turn the game around. Heidenheim brought fresh legs into the game with three substitutions in the 70th minute, with Stefan Schimmer, Julian Niehues and Zivzivadze making way for Marvin Pieringer, Adrian Beck and Niklas Dorsch.
