Heidenheim and Union stick to their season goal. “Point is point.” The draw between Union and Heidenheim could be reduced to this formula.

Both continue to say that staying in the league is their goal. The newcomer could expect things differently. Union was unable to win a home game under the Croatians, failing to break a possible club record of five wins in a row at the Alte Försterei stadium. The Union fans had hung a garland of tennis balls on their stands like a victorious wreath.
