In the first Sunday match of the 22nd Bundesliga round, FC Augsburg won 1-0 against 1. FC Heidenheim.
The opening half saw both teams struggling to create clear goal‑scoring opportunities. Heidenheim started strongly, but as the game progressed Augsburg gained control, keeping the scoreline unchanged until the break.
After the teams swapped sides, Heidenheim pushed for an opener, yet Augsburg’s defence held firm. The decisive moment came in the 80th minute when Alexis Claude‑Maurice calmly converted a penalty to give the home side the lead. Earlier, Benedikt Gimber had taken the Augsburg captain, Manuel Schlotterbeck, to the ground inside the penalty area, prompting referee Z. Zwayer to award the spot kick. The ensuing goal secured the win for the Augsburger.
In the league table, Heidenheim remains at the bottom, while Augsburg climb to 11th place. They will travel to Wolfsburg next Saturday, and Heidenheim will travel to Stuttgart the following day.
