Pafos dominated the second half, creating multiple scoring opportunities and firing 16 shots in total, though they lacked precision. Notable efforts came from Muamer Tankovic and Joao Correia, who directed Pafos’s offense but repeatedly saw their shots fly wide or get blocked by Heidenheim defenders. The German side was disciplined defensively, and their goalkeeper, Kevin Müller, played a crucial role, making several key saves to maintain the clean sheet​.

Both teams made strategic substitutions in the second half, with Pafos bringing on fresh attackers, including Leonardo Natel and Anderson Silva, aiming to maximize their offensive efforts. However, Heidenheim managed to withstand the late surge, securing the away win. The result bolstered Heidenheim’s standing in the group, giving them crucial points in their bid to progress further in the tournament. Despite the loss, Pafos's spirited play and aggressive attacking highlighted their potential, leaving them hopeful for redemption in their upcoming fixtures​.
