Dramatic Late Goal Saves Heidenheim's Bundesliga Status

Heidenheim confirmed their place in the Bundesliga for next season by narrowly defeating Elversberg 2-1 in Monday’s deciding playoff match held in Spiesen-Elversberg, Germany.
The playoff followed a 2-2 draw in Heidenheim last Thursday, culminating in a 4-3 aggregate victory to determine Bundesliga participation for the next season.
Despite Elversberg's dominant possession and efforts to become the smallest club in the Bundesliga, Heidenheim's resilient defense and key plays by Leo Scienza and Mathias Honsak proved decisive.
Scienza scored a critical goal five minutes into stoppage time, described as a 'superbly worked goal,' which triggered celebrations among visiting fans and secured Heidenheim's top-tier place.
Heidenheim's win extended their record to six playoff victories and ended Elversberg's aim of reaching the Bundesliga, affirming Heidenheim's place in the top division for a second season.
