Heidenheim responded after the interval, helped by a key half-time substitution. Budu Zivzivadze was introduced for Julian Niehues at the start of the second half and made a swift impact. In the 59th minute, Zivzivadze converted after good work from Mathias Honsak, levelling the match at 1–1.

Freiburg made a triple change in the 68th minute, withdrawing goalscorer Manzambi along with Igor Matanovic and Derry Scherhant, and bringing on Nicolas Höfler, Yuito Suzuki and Jan-Niklas Beste. Shortly afterwards, Lucas Höler received a yellow card in the 70th minute, the only booking recorded in the match data.

Heidenheim continued to adjust, introducing Christian Conteh, Adrian Beck and Stefan Schimmer as they searched for a winner of their own. Instead, it was Freiburg who found the decisive moment. In the 83rd minute, Eggestein struck to restore the lead, once again set up by Grifo, whose second assist of the afternoon made the difference.

Further late substitutions included Jordy Makengo and Philipp Lienhart entering for Freiburg, as the hosts saw out the closing stages to preserve their 2–1 advantage.
