Stefan Schimmer’s last-minute strike secured a dramatic 2–1 win for 1. FC Heidenheim over SC Freiburg. The substitute’s 94th-minute goal ended a long wait for a home victory at Brenzstraße. It also marked his fourth Bundesliga goal of the season—all scored after coming off the bench.
Schimmer’s winner came from a defensive mistake. A misplaced backpass and a goalkeeper error allowed him to tap into an empty net. His previous league goal had come in mid-October, when he netted in a 2–2 draw with Werder Bremen.
Heidenheim’s win over Freiburg ended a home drought stretching back to September. Schimmer’s late heroics have given the team momentum at a vital stage. With a tough clash against St. Pauli looming, the three points could prove decisive in their battle to avoid the drop.
