😱 Is there still hope? Heidenheim make a flying start v St. Pauli | OneFootball

Even Heidenheim had already publicly described avoiding relegation as a "miracle" — but they still hadn’t given up. And now, all of a sudden, there is hope again. In the direct duel with St. Pauli, they took the lead practically right from kickoff. 

As early as the 3rd minute, Budu Zivzivadze forced the ball over the line from a scramble. Behrens had previously whipped a corner into the penalty area. For Heidenheim, of course, exactly the start they had been hoping for.

If it stays this way, FCH would move to within four points of Hamburg, who currently occupy the relegation playoff spot. It would still be a difficult comeback with only three games remaining, but at least the hope would stay alive a little longer.

What do you think? Can Heidenheim still pull off the miracle? Or will they have to go down to the 2. Bundesliga?
