ALed by the young German-Austrian citizen Paul Wanner, 1. FC Heidenheim has continued its upward trajectory and is at the top of the German Bundesliga table for the first time. The Swabians beat FC Augsburg 4-0 (2-0) on Sunday and marked their fifth win in their fifth competitive game of the season. Heidenheim is ahead of Bayern Munich, who also maintain six points with a 2-0 (1-0) victory against SC Freiburg after two rounds.
Bayern loanee Wanner gave Heidenheim the lead with a handball penalty (9th) and now has four competitive goals. Léo Scienza (30th), Adrian Beck (69th) and Maximilian Breunig (73rd) scored the other goals in front of 15,000 spectators and ensured the next day of celebration at the Ostalb. Mathias Honsak came on from the 81st minute for Heidenheim, who qualified for the Conference League.
Thanks to the better goal difference, Heidenheim is ahead of Bayern and RB Leipzig. The Munich team fulfilled their duty in the game of Thomas Müller’s personal record and won in front of 75,000 spectators in the sold-out area after the goals of Harry Kane (38th / handball penalty) and Jubilar Müller (78th). The original Bavarian substitute played his 710th competitive game for the German football champions against the South Baden side, making him the club’s only record player, ahead of the former world champion goalkeeper Sepp Maier (709).
Lucas Höler missed a handball penalty for SC Freiburg in injury time, with defender Philipp Lienhart and forward Junior Adamu playing through. Konrad Laimer came on as a substitute for Bayern in the 74th minute.
