Full-time: Paderborn 5-2 Hertha

As the referee brings the game to a close, Paderborn's victory is absolutely deserved. The hosts were superior to Hertha in nearly all areas of the pitch, and were significantly more structured, purposeful and mature. The Berliners, however, barely got a grip on the match, appearing defensively vulnerable and offensively lacking. Their two goals came against the run of play and couldn't disguise the fact that the Old Lady was clearly outclassed overall.

Off the woodwork

Berlin are denied a third goal by the woodwork as Grönning heads the ball against the crossbar, not that it would changed the ultimate outcome of the game.

Going through the motions

The match is settling down, with both teams seemingly having accepted the current scoreline.

Showing fight

After grabbing their second goal, Hertha have been making an effort to get back into the game. Seguin delivers a delicate free-kick from the right half-space into the penalty area. Winkler rises high and gets his head to the ball, but puts it wide of the right post.
80'

Firsts for both sides

For the first time under Kettemann, Paderborn have scored five goals in a game. The last time this happened was in March 2025 in the 5-3 win against Kaiserslautern. Under Leitl, Hertha also conceded at least five goals in a single game for the first time. The last time this happened was in September 2023 in the memorable 6-4 defeat in Magdeburg (where Hertha led four times).

What's still possible here?

Reese's gaze turns to the stadium clock. Less than 15 minutes remain for the Hertha players to achieve a small football miracle.

Frustration

After a foul, Seguin thinks the hosts are taking too long and pushes Curda over, earning himself a yellow card from the referee.

It's raining goals

What's going on here? Reese applies a lot of pressure on Brackelmann, who concedes possession to the Hertha man. With his cross, he finds Brekalo, who volleys the ball into the net to make it 5-2.

Penalty given!

Hertha invite pressure from Paderborn concede the penalty. Marino is found with a long ball. Ernst rushes out of his box and takes him out. The referee makes no hesitation as he points to the spot.

Negative milestone in sight for Hertha

Having conceded a total of 798 goals in Bundesliga 2, two more strikes for Paderborn would see Hertha surpass the 800-mark.

Woodwork!

Bauer invites Reese in with a mistake, who immediately takes a shot which rattles the post! The subsequent corner reaches Reese again, but this time, Curda manages to block it.

Paderborn keep pushing

A free-kick from Bauer from the right half-space is flicked on by Curda with his head. Klemens sticks his boot in to try and intervene and accidentally puts the ball into the back of his own net. However, according to the VAR, Curda was offside when he headed the ball on, so the goal is disallowed.

Slippery surface

Half-time: Paderborn 3-1 Hertha

At half-time, Paderborn deservedly lead 3-1. The hosts have been superior in all aspects, playing more purposefully going forward and creating significantly more clear-cut chances. From Berlin's perspective, the scoreline is almost flattering. With a bit more efficiency, Paderborn could have been even further ahead. Hertha's goal came out of nowhere but didn't bring about a sustained turnaround. Overall, the Old Lady look vulnerable in defence and too harmless in attack. Leitl will need to find strong words in the dressing room if the Berliners want to make a comeback here.

At last, the third!

Seimen clears the ball out from the back. Dardai's headed clearance lands right at Curda's feet. He transitions quickly and finds Marino, who takes a shot. The rebound falls to the completely unmarked Bätzner, who has an easy job, smashing home the rebound to put Paderborn in the driving seat at the interval.

Another chance goes begging

The recently substituted Bätzner plays the ball across to Marino, who is through on goal. However, the Paderborn man ends up hammering the ball over the crossbar. Will these missed opportunities come back to haunt the hosts in the end?
45'

Could've been 3-1!

Obermair whips in another cross from the left. At the far post, Müller rushes in completely unmarked and just needs to nod the ball in. However, the Paderborn player puts the ball a matter of inches wide of the post.
42'

Missed opportunity

After Paderborn squandered the chance to make it 3-0, they now lead by only one goal. Nevertheless, the hosts aren't disheartened and are continuing to apply pressure and set the tone here.
40'

Out of nowhere! Deficit halved

Suddenly the Old Lady is back in this and with their first shot of the match, no less! A mistake from Scheller comes back to haunt Paderborn as Seguin intercepts the ball and shifts it on to Winkler. He then finds Schuler in the middle, who finds the back of the net with an improvised finish with his heel.

Almost a third!

Marino has an effort on goal, forcing Ernst to stretch to tip it round the post, preventing a third for the hosts. The subsequent corner is delivered well again. Leistner clears it straight to Klaas's feet, who volleys it, however, it lands straight in the gloves of the Hertha keeper.

Scheller smashes home Paderborn's second!

Paderborn are playing a really strong game here and deservedly double their advantage. A corner from the left comes sharply into the six-yard box. There's grappling and pushing from both sides, but in the end, the ball falls to Scheller, who doesn't need to be asked twice, firing in his side's second from close range.

Klaas nods home the opener!

Paderborn have been applying a lot of pressure in the opening minutes here, particularly with the use of long balls, and it has paid off! Under no pressure, Obermair has all the time in the world to deliver a cross from the left half-space. It's inch-perfect and finds the head of Klaas, who simply guides the ball past the Hertha keeper and into the back of the net to break the deadlock here.

Coup d’envoi!

Good omen

The previous record between these sides bode well for the Old Lady. In the last four encounters between these two clubs, the away team has won every time.

Returnees on the benches

For Paderborn, top scorer Bilbija, who had missed the last three matches, returns to the squad as a substitute. Meanwhile at Hertha, Kolbe makes his return to the squad for the first time in the second half of the season, after recovering from a long-term injury.

More on that Hertha side

Hertha coach Stefan Leitl returns to the touchline following his one-game suspension and tweaks his starting line-up in two positions. Winkler is preferred over Brekalo, whilst veteran Leistner also starts in favour of Klemens. How this will look in defence - whether Dardai will move to the number six position or there will be a back three for the first time since Matchday 4 - remains to be seen.

Third start for Müller

The third change to Paderborn's starting XI comes in the form of Müller. The 20-year-old had only started on Matchdays 7 and 8 before, with Paderborn walking away as winners against both Kaiserslautern and Braunschweig those days.

More on that Paderborn side

There were concerns over Brackelmann's wellbeing after the severe head injury he sustained at the start of the second half of the season in Kiel, but fortunately he has recovered well. Last week, he came off the bench to play 45 minutes, and today he's back among the starters for the first time since the injury. Sticker makes way for him. Marino also gets the nod from Ralf Kettemann in attack, replacing Paderborn's record goalscorer Michel. Perhaps this is a good omen for the hosts as Marino started on two prior occasions: on Matchday 11 against Fürth and Matchday 12 at Magdeburg, both of which Paderborn won.

Ralf Kettemann on facing Hertha

"They're a big club with big-name players, a team with great individual quality and tremendous strength. Because the league is so tight, they definitely still have a chance [of being promoted]. For us, it's a huge opportunity to pull further clear of them."
