SVW were defeated 4-2 in an intense Bundesliga clash away to 1. FC Heidenheim on matchday 4. WERDER.DE have rounded up the reaction to the loss against the newly promoted team.

Thorup made four changes to the team who lost 2-1 against Darmstadt before the international break. Mads Pedersen, Sven Michel, Fredrik Jensen and former Heidenheim player Niklas Dorsch all came into the starting eleven, with Masaya Okugawa on the bench for the first time following a knee injury.

“Manchester City is probably the ultimate team to draw,” Müller said (via @iMiaSanMia). “They’re a team that’s extremely stable, that has brought in good new players over the years. It will be an exciting tie. I think it’s great to play the second leg in Munich. We’ll approach it with confidence.”

Their opponent’s goal didn’t make it any easier, with Paderborn able to sit deep in their own half. Patience was needed. The first chance at goal for SC came after eleven minutes, with Gregoritsch heading a Grifo cross goalwards, but he couldn’t get enough power behind his effort. The guests had most of the possession, while Nicolas Höfler showed his quality on the ball with a couple of neat turns. When the guests had the ball and looked to break forward they provided a threat, with Ritsu Doan forced to clear the danger under pressure within his own box in the 17th minute.
