The latest encounter between 1. FC Heidenheim and VfL Bochum was filled with tension as the spotlight shifted to goalkeeper Kevin Müller.

Müller needed approximately ten minutes of medical attention on the field. Frank Feller stepped in as his substitute in the 60th minute.
During the medical assistance, the 34-year-old, along with the attending paramedics and team doctors, was hidden behind a visual barrier. Müller was eventually escorted off the field on a stretcher. The somber atmosphere in the stadium was frequently disrupted by heartwarming "Kevin Müller" chants and applause from fans of both teams.
