Sandhausen (dpa) - SV Sandhausen has stopped its negative trend for the time being thanks to its best season performance.
After five competitive games without a win and without a goal, SVS won 4-0 (2-0) against 1. FC Heidenheim on Friday evening after a long majority and achieved an important victory in the relegation battle of the 2nd Bundesliga.
With 14 points now, coach Michael Schiele's team moved up to 15th place in the table.
Heidenheim suffered the first defeat of the new year after the 2-0 win against 1. FC Nürnberg and threatens to slip in the table.
Heidenheim midfielder Kevin Sessa, who had seen the red card in the 23rd minute due to an emergency brake, also lost.
At that time, thanks to Julius Biada's goal (10th), Baden had already led.
Nils Röseler increased after a corner from Alexander Rossipal (32nd).
The home team almost rewarded themselves with a clear lead in the first half.
The SVS also controlled the game in the second half, the Heidenheimer did not develop any penetration power when they were outnumbered.
Rossipal with a free kick goal (59th) and Kevin Behrens (82nd) ensured the surprisingly clear success.

Before the first victory in more than a month, SVS President Jürgen Machmeier had admitted mistakes in the squad planning.
"I think that the main problem is that we may have brought too many chiefs, too few Indians," said Machmeier on Sky TV.
"You have to admit: we probably wanted too much."
