Full-time: Karlsruhe 0-4 Paderborn

Karlsruhe lose for the fifth time in a row. In the end, the hosts found themselves too hamstrung by their two red cards. After a poor first half, Karlsruhe came out of the break with momentum and took the lead. However, after the goal was ruled out by VAR and Schleusener received his second yellow card shortly afterwards, the misfortune for the home side took its course.

Bernat prevents a fourth!

Karlsruhe are falling apart. A cross comes in from the right. Tigges flicks it on at the near post to Bilbija, who fails to score from close range thanks to the brilliantly-reacting Karlsruhe goalkeeper!

78'

Game over!

Paderborn seal the deal. Obermair have too much space at the edge of the penalty area, cuts inside and drives the ball towards the near post. He catches Bernat on the wrong foot. Surely the match is over with that.

Paderborn double their advantage!

Could that be the decisive moment? Bätzner runs from the left into the Karlsruhe penalty area. Bernat parries his cross into the centre. The Karlsruhe keeper then manages to save Copado's follow-up shot, but he's powerless against Curda's rebound, who completes his brace. Hard to imagine that Karlsruhe can recover from this..

Mammoth task for hosts

Will the home side recover from the events of the last few minutes? Playing with a man down, Eichner's team is chasing a one-goal deficit in the final phase.

Paderborn break the deadlock!

Finally, Bernat is beaten! Again a cross finds the head of Curda and on the third attempt the ball goes in. Götze delivers the ball from the in off the right flank into the centre, Curda prevails against Jung and heads it in with the help of the right post. Playing with a man down, Karlsruhe are now chasing the deficit.

Events unfolding rapidly

Schleusener goes down in the penalty area without being touched and is booked by Gansloweit for simulation. As the Karlsruhe striker was already on a yellow card, he is given his marching orders. Afterwards, Burnić complains and is also cautioned - then, the Karlsruhe bench receives a yellow card as well!

The opener!

Half-time: Karlsruhe 0-0 Paderborn

Both sides go into the break at half-time with nothing to separate them after this intense first half. In terms of goalscoring opportunities, Paderborn clearly have the upper hand, while Karlsruhe have barely offered anything going forward. Curda had the best chance for Paderborn on the other side, but was denied by the crossbar. The second half promises excitement, but Karlsruhe in particular will have to improve if they want to get points today.

Off the post!

Paderborn are just a few inches away from a deserved lead. After a cross from the right, Curda heads towards the near post. The ball smacks against the right post, leaving the Karlsruhe goalkeeper stranded! Shortly after, it's Curda again whose shot from 25 yards is safely collected by Bernat.

Paderborn working on taking the lead...

...but the hosts aren't making life easy for them.

40'

Schleusener!

That's the best opportunity for Karlsruhe in this match! After winning the ball high up the pitch, it comes to Schleusener, who shoots immediately, but his effort is blocked at the last moment.

39'

Relief

Now it's Karlsruhe again. Pinto Pedrosa is fouled by Hansen on the right wing, winning a free-kick in a good position.

0:32

That was close!

The subsequent free-kick is extremely dangerous. Keeper Bernat collides with Franke and gets hit in the head. Immediately afterwards, Hansen sends the ball towards the Karlsruhe goal, but Herold clears it off the line just in time. Bernat requires treatment once again.

33'

Yellow card stands

The incident was reviewed. Franke arrives far too late in the challenge and has no chance of getting the ball but after review, the referee sees no reason to escalate the punishment further.

Clear advantage for Paderborn

Jung's attempt in the second minute is the only shot on goal from the home side so far. Since then, Paderborn have been setting the tone.

Bernat continues

After a brief break allows the Karlsruhe keeper to receive treatment, the Karlsruhe goalkeeper is back on his feet and boots the ball deep into Paderborn's half.

23'

Quickfire efforts

First, Copado tries a shot in the penalty area, but his effort is blocked. Then, the ball comes to Michel, who shoots from the edge of the box. This time, Bernat catches it safely, but then holds his groin and needs treatment.

21'

Paderborn growing

The first few minutes belonged to the hosts, but since then, Paderborn have been growing more and more into this match. Michel's header was the best opportunity so far, but there haven't been any clear-cut chances yet.

19'

Bernat grabs it!

For the first time this match a goalkeeper is called into action. Curda crosses from the right side and finds Michel's head, who - under pressure from Jung - heads the ball powerfully, but ultimately too centrally, towards the Karlsruhe goal. No problem for Bernat.

17'

The visitors again

Obermair has plenty of space on the left flank and plays the ball to Copado in the centre. The striker takes a first-time shot from about 22 yards. Burnić gets his head in the way and deflects the ball out for a corner, which Karlsruhe manage to clear.

13'

Another approach

Wanitzek looks for Herold on the left side. He sends a cross far to the back post. Pinto Pedrosa is lurking there, taking the ball first time, but ultimately misses the Paderborn goal by quite a margin.

Intense affair

The first minutes in Karlsruhe have been really good to watch. Both teams are giving no quarter in the tackles and repeatedly looking to push forward.

Now the visitors

Michel drives the ball towards the Karlsruhe goal and then lays it out left to Obermair. The wing-back cuts inside and tries with his right foot from the left edge of the penalty area, sending the ball whistling just past the post!

Starting brightly

The hosts especially are putting a lot of pressure on from the start. Jung takes the first shot from in off the right flank. It would have been a good effort, but it gets blocked on its way to goal. Paderborn then manage to clear the danger.

And we're off!

The ball is rolling here at the Wildpark!

First start

Last week, Michel scored his first league goal of the season. Today, after 12 appearances as a substitute, he is starting for the first time this season.

More on that Paderborn side

Kettemann reshuffles his attack, but once again leaves top scorer Bilbija out. Tigges and Wörner also start on the bench, whilst Copado and Michel get their chance from the outset. Brackelmann is suspended, but Curda returns after having served his suspension.

More on that Karlsruhe side

Against Paderborn, Eichner has to do without the suspended Beifus and the injured Müller (injured), and also opts to withdraw Förster to the bench. Rapp and Kobald are fit again and come back into the starting line-up, joined too by youngster Opitz.

Ralf Kettemann on facing Karlsruhe

"We want to turn things around. I'm really looking forward to it - it will be a special match for me. We need to put things in the right perspective."

Christian Eichner on facing Paderborn

"Paderborn are simply a good football team with lots of energy. These aspects, which they already had under Lukas Kwasniok, have been maintained. We know a good team is coming our way - but we also have a good team."
