Pair facing Bundesliga relegation after scoreless draw

The Ruhr side remained last in the Bundesliga standings, equal on points with Kiel.

The result was equally frustrating for Heidenheim, who remained third from bottom, four points above Bochum and Kiel, but four behind Hoffenheim, who have a game in hand.

Heidenheim lost goalkeeper Kevin Muller to injury in the 50th minute, when he was taken off on a stretcher after a goalmouth clash with Ibrahima Sissoko.
