Watch: Santiago Castaneda: 'A point is good for us'

Full-time: Gladbach 0-0 Paderborn

The points are shared at Borussia Park, which, on balance, is probably the fairest result. Gladbach had the better chances in front of goal in the first half, while the visitors enjoyed plenty of the ball in the second period. For Gladbach, it’s a first home point of the season, although they’ll probably be thinking it could have been all three. Philippe came close to scoring late on for Paderborn, but he couldn't reproduce his Matchday 7 heroics this time around.

Corner kick

Gladbach have one final chance to win it. However, Hansen - who else - blocks the corner effectively at the near post.

Side netting from Philippe!

He almost scores a late winner for the second weekend in a row! After twisting and turning inside the Gladbach area, the Paderborn forward tries to sneak the ball past Batz at the near post - but his low shot is just off target.

Nasty landing for Castaneda

The Paderborn midfielder slips off the pitch and collides with the advertising hoardings. He looks pretty uncomfortable...

Philippe is on

Last weekend's match-winner replaces Marino for the final five minutes or normal time.

85'

Substitution

84'

Yellow card for Scheller

His first touch is poor, meaning the defender has to pull Lidberg back to prevent him from getting in behind the Gladbach defence. Unsurprisingly, Scheller is then booked by the referee.

84'

Yellow card

Loose in possession

In the past 10 minutes, Paderborn have enjoyed 74 per cent of the ball. Gladbach simply haven't been able to keep hold of it, with the second half subs seemingly unable to link up with their teammates effectively.

Brilliant from Hansen!

Mohya can't believe that hasn't ended up in the back of the net. The teenager cuts inside the Paderborn box from the left, and shapes to shoot. He attempts to pick out the far corner of the net with a side-footed effort, only to be denied by another stunning Hansen block. The Paderborn defender has kept his side in this contest today...

Lidberg is on for the home side, while Ulrich and Götze will get a late runout for Paderborn.

Corner is well defended

Gladbach have improved defensively from the first half. Vidović floats another corner in the middle of the six-yard box, but Chiarodia is able to clear it with his head.

64'

Off target

Hashioka heads the ball goalwards from a corner, but it drifts just wide of the right post. It's Gladbach's only decent chance of the half so far.

60'

Vidović can't beat Batz

The Paderborn man works space to shoot inside the Gladbach box. He then pulls the trigger and produces a fine save from Batz, who gets down impressively to the low shot.

Gladbach winning the xG battle

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The home side really should be ahead after Scally's 1v1 opportunity and Chiarodia's free header.

First Paderborn change

Pieringer isn't able to shake off his injury issue. Tigges has now slotted into the Paderborn attack as a like-for-like replacement.

Scally can't find a teammate

The Gladbach full-back races away down the right channel and fires a dangerous cross into the penalty area. Unfortunately for the home faithful, none of his teammates can get on the end of it at the back post.

The ball is rolling

The second half is underway in Mönchengladbach. Can either side find a winner?

Kick-off!

Half-time: Gladbach 0-0 Paderborn

After a slow start, the first half burst into life just before the break, with both sides creating big opportunities to score. Gladbach had a goal disallowed after Scally was adjudged to have fouled the Paderborn keeper - who also got the better of the American in a 1v1 situation moment later. The visitors have had some decent chances of their own from set pieces, but nothing has gotten the better of Batz in the Gladbach net just yet. Will that change in the second half?

Half-time

45'

Noll to the rescue again

Scally is clean through on goal on the right side of the Paderborn area, but Noll spreads himself well to cut off all shooting angles and make a crucial save. Both keepers have impressed so far.

44'

What a save!

Gladbach have a corner of their own, from which Chiarodia has a free header at the back post. Noll scrambles across his line to get his hand to the ball and somehow deny the defender from close-range.

43'

Another corner, another chance

Castaneda gets his head to Obermair's corner kick from the left side. However, his headed effort drifts a yard or so wide of the far post.

42'

Hashioka booked

The Gladbach defender picks up a yellow card after throwing the ball in frustration.

Baack-breaking effort

Baack has already run 5.2 kilometres this afternoon, more than any player on the pitch. He has been everywhere so far.

36'

Scally does it again... or does he?

The American international thinks he has scored the opener, after seemingly beating Noll in the air to nod the ball over the goal line. However, he is adjudged to have fouled the keeper in the process, and as such, the goal has been disallowed by the referee.

Watch: Noll gets caught by his own player

That could have been a lot worse...

So close from Hack!

The forward gets in behind the Paderborn backline and catches the keeper in no man's land. He attempts an audacious lob, which beats Noll, but creeps the wrong side of his right post. That would have been a wonderful goal...

Corners mounting up

Paderborn are well on top here. Their third corner of the match is right on top of Batz, who has to punch it away to safety.

30'

Baack booked

Moments after almost scoring the opening goal of the game, the Paderborn man goes into the referee's book for a tactical foul on Mohya.

29'

Pushed away by Batz!

Baack, in his first Bundesliga start, tests the Gladbach stopper with a rasping shot. A short corner routine ends with Baack receiving the ball on the penalty spot, but his powerful drive is pushed away well by Batz.

23'

Mohya causing problems

The youngster has looked lively so far, and is proving to be a challenge to contain down the left. His most recent attack almost yields a corner for Gladbach, but the referee instead awards a goal kick. That aside, both sides are pretty much cancelling each other out offensively.

20'

Fairly even start

Gladbach have attacked with more purpose so far, but Paderborn have shaded possession in the opening 20 minutes or so.

Over from Castaneda

Following a long throw-in, the ball spills out to Castaneda, who is waiting just outside the Gladbach box. He attempts a shot but snatches at it, with the ball ballooning well over the crossbar.

13'

Another big intervention

Hack and Hansen renew their brewing rivalry, as the latter makes himself big to block a powerful shot from range.

Hack threatens again

The Gladbach forward penetrates the box with speed on the left side, but waits too long to release the ball. As a result, he tries to pull the ball back for the advancing Ullrich, but can only pick out a Paderborn defender.

7'

Crucial tackle

Hack thinks he's clean through on goal, but Paderborn defender Hansen makes a crucial last-ditch tackle to nullify the danger.

Feeling out phase

Neither side have properly gotten going just yet. Mohya came close to creating an opening, but was flagged offside.

Ralf Kettemann on facing Gladbach

"We enjoyed our cup tie against Stuttgart [despite the narrow defeat]. We spoke about the game and focused on a couple of incidents from that match on Thursday morning, before turning our attention to Gladbach this weekend. Let's see what we're capable of this time."

Alexander Blessin on facing Paderborn

"Paderborn are a very settled side who know exactly what they're capable of and where their limitations lie. They've looked very good so far and are five points ahead of us in the table, so we know what we're up against. That said, we want to keep our momentum going."

Fresh start

Gladbach are now off the mark in the Bundesliga following their win over Stuttgart last time out, and will hope to follow it up with another three points. The last time they won two on the bounce was back in November 2025, when they managed three on the spin.

Paderborn bow out

Ralf Kettermann's team suffered DFB Cup heartbreak on Wednesday as Deniz Undav's stoppage-time goal earned VfB Stuttgart a 1-0 victory and a place in the next round. Paderborn played the majority of the match with 10 men after Laurin Curda was sent off in the first half.
