Overview

• A Heidenheim supporter fell from the east-stand fence late in the match, was stabilized at the Voith-Arena, and was flown to hospital by a helicopter that landed on the field.
• Coach Frank Schmidt said the fan hit his head and was unconscious for a prolonged period, describing the situation as life-threatening in remarks to broadcasters.
• Home supporters paused chants and used flags and banners to shield paramedics as treatment took place on the pitch.
• After the final whistle, several Heidenheim fans entered the field and chased Augsburg players before Schmidt and others intervened; Augsburg goalkeeper Finn Dahmen said he was unaware of the injury at the time.
• Post-match press conferences were canceled, and both clubs issued messages prioritizing the injured fan, as Heidenheim’s 2-1 result stood as their first points of the season.
