WEITERE DATEN EINBLENDEN
Christian Gentner was on target to put VfB in the driving seat.
VfB’s record in 2017 is absolutely flawless. And that continued on Friday evening, with Hannes Wolf’s earning a 2-1 (1-1) win over 1. FC Heidenheim – the fourth win in their fourth game in 2017 for the Cannstatt Boys. VfB were particularly dominant in the first-half and deservedly took the lead, but the hosts then hit back with an equaliser slightly before the break. The second-half was somewhat more subdued, until a substitute snatched the winner for the Wasenelf, who defended stoutly late on to secure the points.
Personnel
Hannes Wolf sent out the same eleven that began in the most recent successes against Düsseldorf and Sandhausen. The squad included fit again Benjamin Pavard (slight ankle problem) and Matthias Zimmermann (outer-ligament tear to the ankle).
| 6th minute | VfB take charge early on and have a first attempt on goal through Christian Gentner. The captain lets fly from a central position, 18 meters out, but the effort fails to trouble former VfB keeper Kevin Müller, who holds onto the ball with ease. |
| 19th minute | The 'Wasenelf' take the lead. From an Anto Grgic corner, Christian Gentner’s initially shot is blocked away, but the rebound falls to the 30 year old, who rifles his fourth effort in the game home to make it 1-0 for VfB. |
| 42nd minute | Hannes Wolf’s eleven lose position in midfield and allow the hosts far to much space to operate in. Heidenheim captain Marc Schnatterer drives a powerful shot from distance home to level the scores at 1-1. |
| 45th minute | The half-time whistle blows. Things looked to be going extremely well for VfB until shortly before the break. Gentner & Co. were in control and took a deserved lead. The Cannstatt Boys failed to make use of their chances to double their advantage though and conceded an equaliser from a well-executed Heidenheim counter-attack. |
| 70th minute | The bulk of the hosts attacking efforts go through Marc Schnatterer. The Heidenheim captain sets another shot just wide of the left up-right. |
| 71st minute | VfB answer with a goal! Substitute Josip Brekalo unleashes a stunning shot from 27 meters out and finds the top corner to make it 2-1. It’s the Croatian winter signing’s first goal in his second appearance in the jersey with the infamous red hoop. |
| 76th minute | Hannes Wolf’s men are in charge again: first Anto Grgic’s well-struck free-kick is saved by Kevin Müller. The resulting corner sees Simon Terodde head on goal, but Marc Schnatterer is on hand to clear off the line. |
| 86th minute | A turbulent closing phase. Heidenheimer put the pressure on again and VfB need absolute commitment, as well as the width of post and crossbar to hold the hosts at bay. |
| 90th minute | Relief! VfB cling onto the narrow advantage and steal away all three points yet again. |
Christian Gentner::
The greeting after the goal was for my son, who celebrated his second birthday today.
Summed-up
The VfB players have maintained their post-winter break form. Again in Heidenheim, Christian Gentner & Co. displayed massive determination, controlled the game, let very little through at the back and, in spite of conceding an intermittent equaliser, took the lead once again during a period of pressure and held out as the hosts pressed desperately late on in search of another equaliser.
