Heidenheim (dpa / lsw) - After three wins in a row, 1. FC Heidenheim has suffered a setback in the promotion race of the 2nd Bundesliga.
The Swabians lost against leaders VfL Bochum on Wednesday with 0: 2 (0: 1).
Robert Tesche (33rd minute) and Herbert Bockhorn (82nd) scored for the Revierclub, which is ten points ahead of Hamburger SV in relegation rank three with four remaining games.
The Hanseatic League has so far played two games less.
Heidenheim fell back to fifth place, also has two games more than HSV, but two points less.
VfL suffered an early setback: goalkeeper Manuel Riemann was replaced after a few minutes due to an unintentional kick by Heidenheim striker Tim Kleindienst on suspicion of a metacarpal fracture.
But the Bochum team took their first chance after half an hour.
After a free kick by Robert Zulj, Tesche hit the head without being pushed.
Christian Kühlwetter had the best opportunity for the hosts in the first round, who shot just past the left from 20 meters (27th).
Kleindienst could have equalized in the second half, but failed free-standing due to Bochum's substitute keeper Patrick Drewes (75th).
On the other hand, Bockhorn made everything clear after a counterattack.
