Dieter Hecking came to Bochum as a beacon of hope following the dismissal of Peter Zeidler. On the last matchday before the winter break, the 60-year-old was able to celebrate his first win on the Bochum touchline.

Moritz Broschinski (6th) and Matus Bero (38th) scored for Bochum in the first half against a surprisingly weak Heidenheim. Heidenheim, who faced FC St. Gallen on Thursday at the end of the conference league phase (1:1), have lost all of their last seven Bundesliga games and have slipped to the barrage position.

The lead over bottom club Bochum is four points.
