Full-time: Borussia Dortmund 4-2 Heidenheim
All three points go to the hosts as they win a thrilling clash! They were two in front within 20 minutes thanks to efforts from Donyell Malen and Karim Adeyemi, but Marvin Pieringer halved the deficit before the break. Adeyemi, though, had Dortmund two the good once more before half-time, completing a terrific first period from him and his players. Heidenheim, though, weren't about to go down without a fight, and Maximilian Breunig's converted penalty ensured a nervy final quarter-hour ensued for the home outfit. However, another spot-kick, this time for Dortmund, was dispatched by captain Emre Can to send BVB top of the table.
