What impact!
After setting up the opener, Ansah runs through and finishes with aplomb. He's only been on the pitch for 10 minutes!
81'
Deserved lead!
There it is! Ansah drives down the left and crosses into the box for Mehlem to stroke home from near the penalty spot. It had been coming!
No reward for the home team

Almost the breakthrough
Paderborn think they've taken the lead, but the referee had already blown his whistle. Ansah had committed a foul in the build-up. Mehlem then receives a yellow card for dissent.

Play resumes
After their own corner, Münster finds themselves in trouble. However, goalkeeper Schenk gets involved and cleverly pulls the ball away with his heel just in time. Skilful!
68'
Injury break
Schenk punches his own centre-back in the face. Frenkert is receiving treatment.
66'
Zehnter dangerous
Zehnter forces Schenk to top the ball over from a free-kick. It feels like a goal is coming...

Top scorer comes on
Bilbija comes on. Will he end his 14-game goalless run?

Turning the screw
The home team are enjoying a good spell. Münster are struggling to keep up!
48'
Woodwork!
Michel drives the ball up the left, but is stopped by the opponent at the byline. The resulting corner whizzes past friend and foe alike, before Michel lays it off to Mehlem. His right-footed shot crashes against the left post. By far the most exciting moment of the match!

Half-time: Paderborn 0-0 Münster
Just that one Pick chance to speak of. Münster have been the more proactive of the sides, in a game lacking in quality in the final third.
Half-time

Worth a hit!
Ter Horst lays it off for Amenyido, who drives into the penalty area and warms the palms of Schubert.
35'
Missed opportunity!
Pick takes advantage of a mistake in the Paderborn defence, but tries to be too clever with the finish and his chipped attempt goes over.

Paderborn on the prowl
Grimaldi releases Michel, who fails to beat the goalkeeper from a central position. However, the striker was clearly offside.
23'
A shot at last!
Mehlem tries his luck from distance following a corner, but sends the ball into row Z. The statisticians count that as the first attempt on goal of the game...

Play resumes
The subsequent free-kick and the resultant throw-in by Paetow, a speciality of Münster, yield nothing. Meanwhile, Kinsombi is able to continue.
16'
Man down
Sebastian Klaas hits the ball first and then Kinsombi, who now requires treatment.
14'
Huffing and puffing
Münster are full of energy, but the final ball just isn't there yet. Paderborn have yet to get going, at the other end.
10'
Shot blocked
Ter Horst makes an overlapping run down the right and delivers a cross to the far post. Pick controls the ball and jinks into space, but his shot is blocked.

Long-ball game
Münster are trying to build up play from the back, starting with their own goalkeeper. However, Paderborn, with Michel and Co., are closing down all avenues. As a result, the visitors have had to resort to playing more long balls than they would like.
1'
Bilbija's barren spell
In case some are rubbing their eyes in confusion: Filip Bilbija is Paderborn's top scorer with five goals, but he hasn't found the back of the net in 14 matches and is a substitute for the first time this season today.

Under way!
The ball's rolling in Paderborn.
Kick-off!
Two changes for Münster
Bazzoli and Mees start for Koulis and Kyerewaa (bench) for Münster, who'll be hoping to play right until the final whistle after conceding in stoppage time in defeats to Kaiserslautern and Hamburg.
Three changes
Castaneda, Michel and Klaas start in place of Hoffmeier, Bilbija and Terho (all on the bench), in the only changes to the team that beat Ulm.
Münster starting XI
Schenk - Bazzoli, Paetow, Frenkert - ter Horst, Hendrix, Kirkeskov - Kinsombi, Mees - Amenyido, Pick
Paderborn starting XI
Schubert - Klaas, Götze, Brackelmann - Obermair, Scheller, Zehnter - Castaneda, Mehlem - Michel, Grimaldi
Lukas Kwasniok on facing Preußen
"The Münster players fight for every ball and throw themselves in the way of every shot. Going forward, they play very direct football, so I expect a match with a lot of action in the penalty area."
Preußen Münster boss Sascha Hildmann's thoughts
"[Paderborn] are very strong offensively and have many players in their ranks who can be really dangerous up front. It's going to be a very tough and difficult match. We need to prevent, and defend against, crosses. There will also be phases in this game where we'll have to suffer. Nevertheless, we want to have longer spells of possession."
Striker in focus
Paderborn man Adriano Grimaldi has not scored as often for any other club in his career as Preußen Münster. In two-and-a-half years between 2016 and 2018, he netted 30 goals in 71 third-division matches for the club.
Good omen
Paderborn are unbeaten in six competitive matches against Münster (four wins, two draws), having won their last four home head-to-head games. Münster's last victory against Paderborn came in April 2009 in the semi-final of the Westphalia Cup (3-2), while their last away win was in October 1998 in the Regionalliga (3-1).
The reverse fixture
Paderborn and Münster are sharing a Bundesliga 2 season for the first time. The meeting between the two in Münster earlier this season was a wild ride, finishing 3-3 after the lead changed hands several time as Joshua Mees completed his brace to equalise in stoppage time for the Eagles.
