Heidenheim loses again – Cottbus wait in Heidenheim for their first win

Despite the missed chances, Heidenheim defended their home advantage and did not go into the break having conceded. In the second half, they continued trying to decide the match while Cottbus repelled Heidenheim’s attacks.

Cottbus defend successfully

In the end, the Heidenheim team faced the same problem as in their previous games. Despite creating clear chances, they could not claim victory. The Heidenheim forwards occupied the Cottbus defenders for long stretches, but their efforts were not enough to win the game.

Cottbus also ended the meeting without a win. The visitors were short-handed but managed to come through the match unscathed thanks to a defensive performance and the efforts of Marcel Lotka. It was an important performance for the goalkeeper.

Four games without a win

After the match, both teams have now gone four league games without a win. For Heidenheim, the return in light of the chances they created against Cottbus is disappointing. Cottbus are also without any points from their last four games and thus have their own barren run behind them.

Heidenheim must improve their chances in the coming games. Among the players who stood out in the match were Marcel Lotka, Budu Siwsiwadse and Marcel Costly. The result also illustrates how close the contest was despite several promising opportunities.

Thomas Dähne, Lucas Copado and the other named players are part of the team that failed to succeed in Heidenheim despite a clear advantage in chances. As far as their position in the table is concerned, the search for a first win therefore remains central in the coming games.
