Full-time: Karlsruhe 3-0 Paderborn
It wasn't to be for the visitors, who miss out on a promotion play-off and finish the season in fourth place. A rare Lilian Egloff double and Marcel Franke's effort with just under 20 minutes to go left the visitors distraught, and Karlsruhe celebrating a 400th win in the division.

Karlsruhe hit the front
After news of a second goal for Elversberg, Paderborn immediately suffer another setback. Egloff capitalises on a failed clearance by the Paderborn defence. He controls the ball on the left side of the penalty area and smashes it into the bottom left corner.

"There are so many possibilities in football that you have to focus on a plan for the full 90 minutes. We are prepared for everything and will play attacking football! We want to travel there by coach and return in a party bus!"

Can they do it again?
The 2-1 victory earlier on in the season was Karlsruhe's first victory over Paderborn since 2020. Back then, they managed a 1-0 home win.
Back to the old stomping ground
Paderborn coach Lukas Kwasniok was a youth player in Karlsruhe and coached various youth teams there too. In December 2016, he took over as interim manager of the Karlsruhe first team in the Bundesliga 2 for two matches. Both encounters he oversaw - against Braunschweig and in Dresden - ended in 0-0 draws.
Their favourite opponent
Paderborn have beaten Karlsruhe more often in the Bundesliga 2 than they have any other club, celebrating 12 victories in 23 matches.
