BEIFUS SEALS THE WIN!

In the third minute of added time the substitute seals all the points, latching onto a long ball over the top before tucking the ball home into the far bottom corner. A dream Sunday for Pauli to go top of the table!

INTO THE FINAL 10...

Dresden are trying as they might, but Pauli's defence has been outstanding today. Not a single shot on target for the away side.

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 are heading top of the Bundesliga 2 table and deservedly so after this commanding performance.

KÖNIGSDÖRFFER BOOKED

The midfielder is the first player to be booked this afternoon as he pulls back Zander on the break.

NOT FAR AWAY

A dinked pass from Stark out to Schröter on the right sets him up for a half-volley at goal and it's not far away, bouncing across goal and just wide of the mark. Dresden getting closer...

AN HOUR GONE

The home side have yet to have the attacking joy they had in the first half here in the second, but they're looking solid at the back. With half an hour to play, Dresden will want to make sure they get the next goal here.
56'

DRESDEN HARMLESS SO FAR

Nikola Vasilj has yet to make a save today in the Pauli goal, with none of Dresden's shots going on target so far.
53'

HARTEL THE SPARK

Pauli's attacking midfielder has covered the most distance so far today down his left wing, and been the main spark in the home side's attack.

BRIGHT START AGAIN

As well as Pauli are doing going forward, most of their dominance in this game as come from the back. Diawusie has yet to make a difference in attack, but he does bring a more physical presence. It will be interesting to see if Pauli can keep him quiet.
46'

SECOND HALF BEGINS

Dresden make one change at the break with Diawusie on in place of Kade in midfield.

NOT FAR AWAY

Another effort on goal from distance by Aremu, and this one goes closer but still drifts over the crossbar. The holding midfielder's confidence can't be knocked.
40'

APPROACHING THE BREAK

Pauli are sitting in deep when without the ball, not allowing Dresden to play long balls forward and closing up space in midfield. At the other end, quick fluid passing is allowing them to break through the midfield with ease. They've played some lovely football in this first half.

CHANCES COMING AT ONE END

It's been an end-to-end game, but most of the attacking play has come where Pauli are shooting.

AREMU FIRES WIDE

Hartel does well down the left to beat a defender and find a pass to Buchtmann. He in turn spots Aremu 20 yards from goal with space around him, but the midfielder's shot curls wide of the mark.

BIG CHANCE FOR BURGSTALLER!

Great vision from Zander who brings the ball down on the edge of the Dresden box and spots Burgstaller in space at the back post. He controls the pass and fires for the far bottom corner with his left, but Broll gets down low to his left to make a vital save.

THAT OPENING GOAL FEELING

Buchtmann now has three goals against Dresden in his career - the most against any single Bundesliga 2 team.

KYEREH THE PROVIDER

RESPONDING WELL

Dresden have had a good response to going behind. They're pressing Pauli incredibly high up the pitch, but Timo Schultz's side have been able to beat the press so far, playing out from the back and finding space through midfield.

ALMOST TWO!

Hartel sends a ball into the middle from just outside the Dresden area on the left and Irvine has made a run into the box, but his shot is blocked by Akoto and bounces through to the 'keeper. Pauli making a fine start here.

BUCHTMANN OPENS THE SCORING!

What an incredible start for Pauli and the returning Buchtmann. It's what dreams are made of for the No.10 as he smashes his side in front a little after a minute. He exchanges passes with Kyereh beautifully on the edge of the Dresden box before pinging a stunning hit into the far top corner with his left. What a start!

KICK-OFF COMING UP!

It's a big day for Pauli, with the chance for the home side to go top of the table. It's also a huge day for Christopher Buchtmann, who is making his first start in the Bundesliga 2 for 615 days - since January 2020. An Achilles operation kept him out for most of that time, but today he is finally back.

PAULI'S BOGEY TEAM?

Dynamo are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Pauli, but have never won at the Millerntor-Stadion (D4, L3).

BURGSTALLER THE KEY?

Burgstaller has scored 49 goals in 93 Bundesliga 2 appearances. The Austrian, along with Kyerah, has had a direct hand in six goals so far this season.

PAULI FORM

The Hamburg-based Pauli have been scaling the Bundesliga 2 table this season, winning three of their last four to push up to third place. A win this afternoon for the hosts can even take them top of the table to end the weekend. With only eight goals conceded through the first eight games of the season, Pauli have one of the league's best defences.
