Mainz 05 secured their Bundesliga survival by beating Heidenheim 2:0. Phillip Tietz and Nadiem Amiri scored the goals. The visitors started strongly. Kacper Potulski received the ball in the opponent's half, went past several Heidenheim players to the goal line, and from the left flank, Phillip Tietz had to nod in from close range (7.). A beautiful goal, but also very weakly defended by FCH. Potulski was practically not disturbed during his solo run. A little later, it was again dangerous in the Heidenheim penalty area. After a free kick by Amiri, Tietz hit the FCH goalpost with a direct shot (12.). The Swabians were dangerous for the first time in the 14th minute. After a cross from the right and a header extension by Marvin Pieringer, Arijon Ibrahimovic shot the ball volley just to the right of the Mainz goal. Heidenheim became more courageous with increasing progress in the first half - what else was left for them? 05 goalkeeper Daniel Batz parried strongly against Eren Dinkci in the 23rd minute. However, the Schmidt team continued to defend uncharacteristically loosely. Gaps kept opening up. Mainz striker Sheraldo Becker, for example, was not attacked on the right side, could finish unimpeded, but FCH goalkeeper Frank Feller was on the spot (26.).
