Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • 1. FC Heidenheim beat Greuther Fürth 1-0 to record their third win of the season.
  • Budu Siwsiwadse scored the only goal in the 12th minute, heading in Marcel Costly’s cross.
  • The result lifted Heidenheim to third after four matchdays, while Fürth suffered its second defeat.

Heidenheim did not need a goal rush in Fürth. A single header from Budu Siwsiwadse gave the relegated side a 1-0 win at SpVgg Greuther Fürth and moved it into third place in the 2. Bundesliga.

Siwsiwadse struck in the 12th minute, converting Marcel Costly’s cross. The goal proved enough because Heidenheim defended compactly and goalkeeper Thomas Dähne kept Fürth from finding an equalizer.

Fürth produced the more attractive football and created first-half chances through Felix Klaus and, especially, Luca Itter. But the hosts lacked precision in front of goal. A late attacking double substitution, bringing on Jordan Siebatcheu and Omar Sillah, did not change that.

Heidenheim remained dangerous on the counterattack after the break. Alessandro Vogt and Oualid Mhamdi had opportunities to settle the match, but the visitors ultimately protected their lead without allowing Fürth to threaten seriously. The defeat was Fürth’s second of the season.
