Full time: Preußen Münster 0-2 Karlsruhe
Karlsruhe have Marvin Wanitzek, who scored a free-kick and a penalty, to thank for this impressive away win at Preußen Münster. After a first half in which the hosts squandered a hatful of chances, the attack-minded midfielder scored first from a free-kick (79') and then from the penalty spot (88'). Paul Jaeckel received a red card in the 77th minute for a professional foul, making it difficult for the home side to respond once they fell behind.

Wanitzek at the double
For the seventh time, Marvin Wanitzek has scored at least twice in a second-tier match. This is the second time this season he has achieved this feat, as he also bagged a brace on matchday 10 during the 4-1 win in Fürth.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Wanitzek for the third time
The goal is the third that Wanitzek has scored from a direct free-kick in the second division, albeit from over 60 attempts. The last two such goals for KSC were also scored by the captain, in December 2024 in Kaiserslautern and in November 2020 in Braunschweig.

Just like in the first match-up between these sides (when Niko Koulis saw red), Münster must again face KSC with ten men.

Karlsruher have not only improved in terms of their general play, but also in terms of how quickly they win the ball back.

Wanitzek finally makes the breakthrough!
The ensuing free kick results in the opening goal for Karlsruhe: Wanitzek curls the ball beautifully over the wall and into the back of the net, giving Schenk no chance. 1-0 to the visitors!

Red card for Jaeckel!
That's a huge blow for Preußen! Schenk can't control a back pass, and the clearance lands at the feet of substitute Egloff. Jaeckel stops him in his tracks with a tough challenge – referee Weisbach immediately pulls out the red card!

Rarity
Münster have only once failed to score at home this season, in the 0-0 draw with Schalke, but that was also the only match in which they have not conceded a goal.

Batista Meier!
A Preußen counter-attack causes havoc: Batista Meier is played through and finds himself one-on-one with Bernat. The Münster man tries to nutmeg the visiting goalkeeper, but the KSC custodian is once again equal to it.

Patience required
Preußen have not been ahead at half-time in their last 11 matches and have scored only a single goal in the first 45 minutes during those eleven fixtures. But the fans know they'll require patience - the last four Münster goals were only scored from the 89th minute onwards...

Half-time: Münster 0-0 Karlsruhe
It's scoreless at the break in Münster. From the visitors' perspective, this is a flattering scoreline, as SCP have had some great opportunities to take the lead. Münster's will hope to take a more clinical approach in the second half, while Karlsruher will need to dig deep to create some viable chances of their own.

Anniversary
Karlsruhe are playing their 1000th match in Bundesliga 2! There's also a smaller milestone achieved by Münster; it's their 200th home match in the second division.
Doppelgängers
Münster has two Marvin Schulz's sitting on the bench today - the experienced professional is included for the first time since October, while the striker from the reserves was last allowed to get a taste of first-team action likewise back in October.
More on that Karlsruhe side
Christian Eichner has to deal with absences for both Marcel Beifus and Nicolai Rapp, but can be pleased about some returning players. Louey Ben Farhat, who had been out since August, comes straight back into the side, while Lilian Egloff returns to the squad for the first time since October, and new signing Stephan Ambrosius makes the bench just one day after signing.
More on that Münster side
Bolay, Mees and Lokotsch, who started in the last match of 2025 against Elversberg, are out for the start of the second half of the season. In their stead, Mikkel Kirkeskov, Zidan Sertdemir and Etienne Amenyido come into the team. For Amenyido, who scored against Elversberg, it's his first start since Matchday 6.

Strong against Münster
Karlsruhe are unbeaten in seven competitive matches against Münster (four wins, three draws). On May 11 2019, the Baden side secured their return to the second division with a 4-1 victory at the Preußenstadion (Matchday 37 of the 3. Liga).
Draw
Last season, the two founding members of the Bundesliga played together in Bundesliga 2 for the first time, with both encounters ending 1-1. At the Preußenstadion, Louey Ben Farhat scored after 12 seconds to give Karlsruhe the lead, while Münster equalised through a penalty from Marc Lorenz.
