Tactical
Conté is taking a lot of knocks today. Now a foot from Michel. It doesn't look like a Paderborn comeback here; Elversberg are coolly seeing the match out.

Emotions are running high
Hartmann whistles for a foul against Paderborn, which Müller doesn't like at all. He receives a yellow card for his complaints. Elversberg get a free-kick in a good position.

Paderborn in possession
Despite playing with only ten men, they are currently much more active. However, they are not managing to get near the goal at the moment.

Tigges had the best chance to make it 2-1 for Paderborn; now his team is trailing. Now he, as well as Klaas, are finished for the day, with Marino and Paderborn's top scorer Bilbija coming on.

The next attempt
Petkov also tries from a half-right position, but the angle is very tight. The ball sails over.
74'
Conté again and again
The midfielder wants to surprise Seimen at the near post, but the Paderborn keeper is positioned perfectly there and has an easy job catching the ball.
73'
Ebnoutalib fouled
The striker would have been through on goal if Obermair hadn't left his leg out. Clear yellow card, his second of the season.
70'
Booster for Paderborn?
The red card was, of course, a shock for SCP, but that disallowed goal might now give them a second wind.
67'
The goal doesn't count!
Referee Hartmann has reviewed the scene and identified an offside position from Ebnoutalib in the build-up! Bitter for SVE.

Hit
After an Elversberg corner, the recently substituted Sticker is struck full on the head. The team doctors rush to his aid once again.

Against Elversberg again
In the 3rd division, Brackelmann once received a second yellow card as an Ingolstadt player – in January 2023, also against Elversberg (the Schanzer lost 3-4 at Kaiserlinde).

Free kick for Elv
It sails well from the right half-space towards the far post, but there's no one there.

Red card for Brackelmann!
56'
Unbelievable!
Super-sub Michel plays a brilliant through ball to Tigges, who rounds Kristof but pushes the ball a bit too far ahead. Half the stadium is already celebrating, but Keidel gets to the ball quicker and clears it away. What a start from Paderborn in the second half!
55'
Almost another one!
Again, the East Westphalians come down the right, again, a cross becomes dangerous. But for whatever reason, Tigges and Michel seem to misunderstand each other, and so the ball bounces directly from Tigges's foot to an opponent.
54'
After eight months!
It's the first goal of the season for Michel, the last time he scored was in April 2025 against Nuremberg. Now 36 second division goals for Paderborn - extending his club record.
The equaliser!

Obermair looks for Michel
His cross sails straight into the arms of Kristof.

The ball is rolling again
Conté is back on his feet, play continues.
48'
First booking
Bätzner crosses Conté. The Elversberg player initially stays down, but it seems he can continue.
48'
Obermair!
The left wing-back tries with a curling shot from distance. However, it goes well over the crossbar.
47'
High pressing
Elversberg immediately press high up the pitch and force Paderborn into a loss of possession. The substitute Keidel immediately looks for a teammate up front, but there's no one there.
46'
A strange statistic
The team that has taken the lead in this fixture has never gone on to win the game. In the previous four matches between Paderborn and Elversberg, there were three comebacks and one draw. A good omen for Paderborn?
46'
Let's continue!
SCP coach Kettemann brings on two fresh attacking options for the second half: Müller and Michel replace Hansen and Wörner. SVE also make a change, with Keidel replacing Günther. The ball is rolling again.

Conté!
Zimmerschied plays the ball forward to Ebnoutalib, who doesn't look for the finish despite having a clear shooting lane. Instead, he lays it off to Conté, who strikes with his left foot. Götze gets his leg in the way and deflects it for another corner!

Only stoppable by foul
Conté dribbles past several Paderborn players and is then pushed to the ground. Free kick for Elversberg.

Ebnoutalib tops Asllani
Asllani was Elversberg's top scorer last season, but after 15 matchdays he had only eight goals to his name, three fewer than Ebnoutalib has now.

0:15
An intense game
40'
It's back and forth
Now it's SVE's turn again. Conté plays a neat through ball to Schmahl, who has plenty of space on the right. His attempt to play a low ball into the middle remains just an attempt, as Baur makes a strong sliding tackle to intercept.

Götze!
Paderborn had to shake themselves down for a few minutes, but now they're venturing forward again. First, a cross from Obermair sails into nowhere. Shortly afterwards, Götze tries one from distance, but blasts the ball well over.

Sole Top Scorer
Ebnoutalib with his eleventh goal of the season, now one ahead of Lidberg as the league's best marksman. Ebnoutalib has scored his eleven goals in the last twelve matches.

Too impetuous
Baur wins the ball in midfield, but steps on Poręba's foot too heavily in the challenge – foul.
30'
Ebnoutalib missing so far
Only touched the ball once, hasn't won a single duel yet – the league's top scorer is completely invisible so far.
28'
Paderborn again and again!
The East Westphalians are undoubtedly the more dangerous side now. Brackelmann crosses the ball from the left half-space into the centre of the box. Tigges rises high and heads the ball a few metres wide of the target.
26'
Brackelmann!
SCP play quickly forward once again - and almost open the scoring! Wörner bursts into the penalty area and squares it to Brackelmann, who shoots with his first touch and narrowly misses to the left of the left post. Best chance so far!

Kristof alert again!
SCP venture forward once more. Klaas delivers a cross dangerously close to the Elversberg goal, but a certain Kristof restores order and strongly punches the ball away.
21'
Wrong Recipient
Günther also has to chase down a ball, but does it quite comfortably with his pace. From the left touchline, he manages to deliver a good cross into the centre, but Conté can't reach the ball because a Paderborn player steps in between.
18'
Not as desired
Ebnoutalib wants to switch play to the left side to gain space. However, his pass is poor. Zimmerschied does manage to chase down the ball while running back, but the Saarlanders have to start again.

Flexible Hansen
The holding midfielder has already played in the back three several times this season. Today, he is operating on the right side as a replacement for Curda. Wörner is playing one position further forward.

Almost a Paderborn lead!
11'
Good move!
Bätzner spots Wörner making a run on the left side of the penalty area and plays a superb through ball to him. He tries to take the ball with his heel, but it doesn't quite come off.
9'
Another offside position
Pinckert has plenty of time and looks for Ebnoutalib on the right half of the attack. However, the pass doesn't quite reach him.
6'
SVE controlling the game
Apart from the small moment of uncertainty from Gyamerah two minutes ago, Elversberg are looking very composed in the opening minutes. They now advance into the attacking third down the left flank, resulting in a corner that doesn't pose any danger.
4'
Dangerous!
Gyamerah can't release the ball and runs all the way into his own penalty area. There, Paderborn's Bätzner nearly gets to the ball. That almost backfired!
2'
Direct route to goal
Paderborn immediately win a throw-in on the left side. Obermair is in a hurry and moves the ball forward quickly via Bätzner and Tigges, but referee Hartmann blows the whistle to stop the action due to an offside position.

Kick-off!
The ball is rolling, the hosts have kicked off.
Kick-off!
Three Paderborn changes
Klaas, Bätzner and Wörner come in for Paderborn. Curda is serving a one-match suspension, while Castaneda and Bilbija have to settle for a place on the bench.
Wagner makes one change
Elversberg make just one change to the side that started the goalless draw against Darmstadt, with Condé dropping out in place of Schmahl.

Familiar face
Maximilian Rohr transferred from Paderborn to Elversberg in August 2024. He made 28 Bundesliga 2 appearances for SCP.
Home fortress
At home, Paderborn have never lost to Elversberg. Including matches in the Regionalliga, there have been three wins and two draws in five home games against the team from Saarland.
Curious stat
In their four Bundesliga 2 encounters to date, the team that took a 1-0 lead has failed to win (three turnaround wins and one 1-1 draw). Elversberg only prevailed in the teams' first Bundesliga 2 meeting.
Encouraging record
Paderborn have collected seven points in their last three matches against Elversberg. Three consecutive victories were only prevented by Florian Le Joncour's 1-1 equaliser in stoppage time in the last encounter in Paderborn.
