In the first Sunday fixture of the 22nd matchday, FC Augsburg secured a 1‑0 victory over 1. FC Heidenheim.
During the opening half both sides struggled to create clear goal‑scoring opportunities. Heidenheim started strong, but as the match progressed Augsburg gained the upper hand. Despite several promising attacks, the score remained locked at halftime.
After the half‑time break, Heidenheim pressed for a leading goal, yet Augsburg’s defense held firm. The decisive goal arrived in the 80th minute when Alexis Claude‑Maurice calmly slotted a penalty. Earlier in the match, defender Benedikt Gimber had brought Augsburg captain Lukas Schlotterbeck to the ground inside the penalty area, prompting referee Zörrer to award the spot-kick. The resulting goal secured the home side’s win.
In the league table, Heidenheim stays at the bottom while Augsburg climb to 11th place. Augsburg will travel to Wolfsburg on Saturday, while Heidenheim face Stuttgart the following day.
