Tigges is off!
Now it gets even more bitter for Paderborn. In Elversberg's penalty area, he catches Schnellbacher unluckily on the foot whilst winding up for a shot, earning him a second yellow card.

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.
Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Another booking
Bätzner's sliding tackle catches Schmahl on the leg, who receives brief treatment.
87'
The match is drawing to a close
Paderborn are spending much of the second half in Elversberg's half, but the problems remain the same as in the first half: they make too little of it. It's not just goals that are lacking, but good chances in the first place.
85'
Hannover lead against Münster
This means Elversberg drop to third place, as Hannover now have 60 points, one point more than Elversberg. Paderborn remain in fourth.

10 minutes to go
Paderborn make another substitution, bringing on Mohr for Scheller. If Paderborn really want to take a point here, the second goal needs to come sooner rather than later.

The next booking
Tigges nips an Elversberg counter-attack in the bud by tugging at Pherai's shirt, earning the forward a yellow card.

Top figure
Castaneda has already been pressed by opponents 11 times, but managed to work his way out of these situations in most cases.

Corner for Elversberg
It gets loud at the Kaiserlinde. But only briefly, as Zimmerschied's corner comes down far too early and is cleared by a Paderborn player.

Clear foul
Okpala slides into Mickelson – yellow card.

Standing ovation
Petkov, just like Pherai, has now been substituted off and is given a fitting reception. Malanga and Schmahl come on in their place.

He has it safely now
Baur delivers a free-kick from the right into the box, where Marino gets his head to it but Kristof plucks the ball safely out of the air.
56'
Bilbija!
There we go, a dangerous move from the away side at last! Curda plays the ball back from the right to the penalty spot, where Bilbija shoots first time. Kristof in the Elversberg goal gets to make his first save of the match.
53'
Well blocked
Pherai plays it through to Mokwa, but the birthday boy cannot hold his own against Scheller, who positions his body well.
52'
Too easy
Paderborn have a go. Tigges plays the ball from the left across the box, where Baur, standing centrally in front of goal, does not look good receiving it. Just like that, possession is quickly lost again.
49'
Almost the fifth!
Pherai elegantly controls a pass from Zimmerschied and then hammers the ball towards the top right corner. He narrowly misses the goal!
47'
Pherai brought down
Scheller goes in somewhat recklessly in the challenge with the Elversberg player. But at least Paderborn seem to be coming out of the dressing room with energy.
46'
We're off again!
Paderborn head coach Ralf Kettemann brings on fresh legs for the second half: Okpala and Tigges are tasked with livening up the attack of the away side. Elversberg, for now, continue as before.
Kick-off!

Still second place
In the parallel match between Hannover and Münster, the score is 2-2 at half-time. At one point, Hannover were trailing 2-0, which played into the hands of both Elversberg and Paderborn. With the equaliser, however, things look like this again: Elversberg are second (59 points), Hannover third and Paderborn fourth (both on 58 points).

Half-time
45'

11 goals conceded in four matches
Paderborn had appeared very solid for a long time in the second half of the season – however, including today, they have now conceded 11 goals in their last four matches.
45'
+ 1
Into stoppage time
The fourth official has signalled four minutes of added time. Then Paderborn will need to regroup in the dressing room and come up with something so that this doesn't end up even more bitterly from their perspective.
43'
What on earth was that?
Directly after the restart, Pherai runs into Götze - the Paderborn defender needs brief treatment afterwards, but is back on his feet now.

Outstanding record
For Petkov, it was his 14th goal contribution in his 15th game in the second half of the season – only Magdeburg's Zukowski has accumulated more contributions in 2026.
39'
High pressing
Elversberg are currently sitting extremely high up the pitch. Petkov blocks two attempted passes by Brackelmann on the left touchline – and celebrates himself after the action.
38'
First yellow
Gyamerah argues a bit too much after a referee's decision.
35'
What are Paderborn doing?
The visitors actually appear relatively structured and composed on the ball. However, they were dispossessed far too easily for the last two goals and now find themselves 3-0 down. On top of that, Paderborn have barely created anything going forward so far.
32'
A bitter first
Paderborn concede three goals before half-time for the first time this season (last time was two years ago in Hannover) – and of all matches, it had to happen in this decisive one.

Watch: Petkov sends the home fans into raptures!

Only opposition takers
Scheller takes a touch on the right and then whips the ball towards the penalty area. However, where the ball drops, there are only Elversberg defenders.
25'
It's worked before
This time goalkeeper Kristof plays a long ball but Curda holds his ground in the duel with Zimmerschied, holds up the ball well and prevents the next Elversberg attack.
21'
What does the table say?
As the match in Hannover is still level at 0-0, Elversberg (59 points) still sit in second place, the final promotion spot – one point ahead of Hannover and Paderborn.
19'
A birthday present!
Mokwa treats himself on his 22nd birthday! It's his fourth goal in his 15th appearance – not quite Ebnoutalib's strike rate, but nonetheless another solid signing by Elversberg.
2-0 to Elversberg!

Well resolved
A long ball finds Pherai, who initially holds off Brackelmann, but the Paderborn defender then clears the dangerous situation with a fair shoulder charge. The ball rolls out of play for a goal-kick - Paderborn's ball.
12'
First Paderborn chance
Baur whips a free-kick from the half-space into the box. Götze flicks the ball back with his head to the edge of the penalty area, where it finds its way to Müller. He shoots low and places the ball just wide of the goal.
9'
Elversberg want another
Attacking through the central positions, a ball is played to Zimmerschied, who looks to lay it off directly to Mokwa, but the pass is poor and ends up with the opposition.
8'
How does the table look?
The two teams have swapped positions: Elversberg are currently second, Paderborn fourth.
6'
How will Paderborn respond?
The visitors had actually settled into the match well, but they were immediately made to swallow a deficit with the home side's very first attacking move. Now Paderborn are in possession and are building up play calmly for the time being.
Elversberg lead!

Almost the first chance
Müller plays the ball out to the right flank, where Curda sends it flat into the centre with his first touch. There is actually no Paderborn player there, but somehow the ball squirts through and it almost becomes dangerous after all but Elversberg are able to clear.

Early press
Paderborn immediately set up camp in Elversberg's half and quickly win back a lost ball.
