Full-time: Paderborn 2-0 Hamburg
The hosts secure important points in the promotion race, and against the league-leaders from Hamburg! In the first half, their lead was somewhat fortunate, but in the second half, Paderborn played increasingly well and doubled their advantage. HSV didn't play a bad away game, but never really threatened.
