The Bundesliga relegation playoff saw SV Elversberg face Heidenheim FC, a contest between two smaller clubs with limited Bundesliga experience. Elversberg initially led 2-0 in the first leg, but Heidenheim fought back for a 2-2 draw. In the second leg, both teams exchanged leads until a late goal from Heidenheim's Léo Scienza clinched a 4-3 victory. Bayern Munich loanees, like Frans Krätzig and Paul Wanner, played crucial roles, with Wanner's pass leading to the decisive goal that ensured Heidenheim's survival in Germany's top flight.
With all due respect, it was a clash of minnows.
Heidenheim won 4-3, dramatically securing their place in the Bundesliga.
Frans Krätzig played virtually every minute of the 180 available, proving to be at the heart of everything good Heidenheim did.
Wanner's intelligent pass to Scienza was what set the late winner into motion.
