Overview
- Frankfurt shared the points in Heidenheim after Budu Zivzivadze scored for the hosts in the 32nd minute and Rasmus Kristensen leveled in the 55th.
- Can Uzun left in the first half clutching his left thigh and was replaced by Mario Götze, continuing a pattern of recent muscle issues.
- Referee Christian Dingert had stopped play for a foul on Patrick Mainka before Elye Wahi’s backheel finish, and coach Dino Toppmöller labeled the call "definitely not acceptable."
- Sport chief Markus Krösche expressed support for Wahi despite one goal in 21 appearances and a clear miss in Heidenheim, saying the striker needs confidence to find a "flow."
- The result follows a DFB-Pokal exit and heavy Champions League losses, and supporter unease is growing ahead of Tuesday’s away match at Napoli.
