Not the decisive goal
Wanitzek tries his luck with Kerksen off his line, but he can't quite loop the ball over the goalkeeper.

Four minutes of added time
Just like in the first half, Bacher adds another 240 seconds of extra time.
89'
Another yellow card
The substituted Väänänen brings down Grodowski in midfield and is booked for it.
87'
Pure tension
The closing stages are pure nerve-wracking excitement! Bielefeld remain optimistic.
84'
Almost the equaliser
Boakye has the chance to equalise, but he can't convert. The winger is free on the left side of the penalty area, one-on-one with Bernat, but fails to finish from a tight angle as the goalkeeper makes an important save.
83'
Conceding again
Karlsruhe have now gone ten consecutive seasons without keeping a clean sheet on the opening matchday. The last time they kept a clean sheet on the opening day of the season was in 2016. Funnily enough, that was against Bielefeld at the Alm in a 0-0 draw.

Almost the equaliser!
Almost an immediate response! Koudossou crosses from the right in full stride into the centre, where Rochelt is completely unmarked and steers the ball from a few yards out against the crossbar. Not sure he knew an awful lot about that effort.
GOOOOOOAL!

First booking of the match

15'
Tight Angle
Broschinski plays in Jung, who has made a run to the right side of the penalty area, and the full-back immediately unleashes a powerful shot from just inside the box. His half-volley, however, is too imprecise and flies straight down the middle towards Kersken, who comfortably parries the shot.
15'
Quarter of an hour gone

Offside
