Game over!
That's the decisive moment! Zehnter seals the deal just before the final whistle. After a pass from the right byline, Zehnter scores from deep. Krahl appears to have suffered a serious injury in the process and needs to be substituted.

Half-time: Paderborn 3-2 Kaiserslautern
Three goals from the first three shots on target in the opening 15 minutes. Paderborn started like a house on fire and continued to impress with their high pressing. Only as the match progressed did the pressing intensity decrease, allowing FCK to have more of the game and score two goals of their own through a penalty and Ache. The match is wide open again.

A moment to breathe
The decision-making process took nearly five minutes. Regardless of that, neither FCK's offside trap worked nor was their positioning correct. If the visitors don't find their way into the match soon, it could turn very sour for them.

VBL: The Club Championship final is approaching!
Markus Anfang's view on Paderborn
"The first meeting between the teams at the Betze was a very tight match, even though the final score said otherwise. Paderborn demanded everything from us - and we expect the same again now. In the second division, anyone can beat anyone. It feels like every week is a final. We prepare week after week to go out and win matches."
Lukas Kwasniok's view on Kaiserslautern
"FCK can decide a match in one move. That's why it would be an advantage if we take the lead. For us, hard work is non-negotiable. On Saturday, we must also have good defensive coverage during the opponent's counter-attacks."
Defensive strength
Kaiserslautern have conceded only seven goals in 17 competitive matches against Paderborn (all in the Bundesliga 2) and kept 11 clean sheets.
