Perfect start for Paderborn
SC Paderborn 07 win their 2nd match of the 2. Bundesliga against SV Darmstadt 98 with a score of 3-1 (0-1). After an early setback due to Vilhelmsson (7'), the team from East Westphalia turned it around after half an hour and deservedly equalised through Klaas (53') after the break. Bilbija (64') and Ansah (83') then made the well-deserved home win perfect - the second success in the second match for Kwasniok's team, who are now top of the table.

3-1 Paderborn: Ansah puts the lid on it!
That should be the decision: The substituted Ansah frees himself on the left wing and gets to finish from 18 metres after a fine one-two with Bilbija. The ball hits the left corner, Schuhen can't do anything about it. 3-1 Paderborn!

Hornby must do it!
That could have been the 2-2 equaliser, if not should have been: Darmstadt combine down the right, the ball comes in low to substitute Hornby. His shot is not quite right and goes past the left post.

Klefisch takes too much risk
A Darmstadt corner from the right side slips through to Klefisch, who takes the ball directly from the left edge of the penalty area. However, the shot from the midfielder, who had set up Darmstadt's opening goal, goes well wide of the hosts' goal.

SCP07 remains on the front foot
With the 2-1, the hosts are not satisfied, continue to play forward pressurefully. Darmstadt have major defensive difficulties in the meantime against playful East Westphalians.

Comeback kings
In the past season no team came back to win as often as Paderborn after being behind (six times). Lukas Kwasniok's team should never be written off.

2-1 Bilbija: Paderborn turn the match around!
The net bulges again at the Darmstadt end, the hosts take the lead: Obermair gets far too much space on the right flank and whips a low ball into the Lilies' box. Bilbija ghosts in and takes it first time - it nestles in the bottom right corner. 2-1 Paderborn!

Ice-cold "Lilies" lead luckily
After 45 minutes it stands between SC Paderborn 07 and SV Darmstadt 98 0:1. Vilhelmsson brought the guests into an early lead with their first chance and had everything under control for a long time afterwards. With the double chance through Kostons and Bilbija (33') the game turned, Paderborn would have deserved the equaliser (or even more) by now.

Shoes in the right place
Once again Paderborn combines well going forward and also wins the decisive duels. Kostons is played through on goal but Darmstadt's keeper Shoes is there to clear the danger resolutely.

"Lilies" looking for solutions
As confident as the guests appeared in the first half hour, they are struggling now. Hardly anything is going forward, the "Lilies" have their hands full in defence.

The pressure is rising!
The hosts are now the dominant team and would have deservedly earned the 1:1. But SCP is still chasing the early deficit.

Goal!
Paderborn play a nice passing move down the left into the visitors' penalty area, the ball comes to Kostons at the edge of the box - but the Paderborn striker takes a fraction too long allowing his 14-yard shot to be blocked.

With united forces
Darmstadt counterattack superbly down the right side - the ball goes along the ground in front of the hosts' goal, where the Paderborn defence is able to clear with united forces before the ready-to-shoot Vilhelmsson.

After a challenge with Gjasula in the Darmstadt penalty area, the Paderborn attacking player stays down. Referee Schwengers says: Play on!

Zehnter tries it from distance
A Paderborn corner initially comes to nothing, but Darmstadt fail to clear the situation. Zehnter has a shot from distance, the 22-yard effort is blocked for a corner. Darmstadt are then able to clear the resulting set piece relatively easily.

Stable "Lilies"
Darmstadt is not allowing anything at the back - and thanks to the lead they can increasingly concentrate on setting offensive pinpricks. A comfortable starting position for the guests!

SCP finding it difficult
The East Westphalians are not coming up with too much going forward so far, with attacking efforts repeatedly breaking down prematurely. So it's going to be difficult creating chances to equalise!

1-0 Darmstadt: Vilhelmsson ice-cold!
The visitors score with their first chance: Klefisch plays a great through ball to Vilhelmsson, who had escaped the Paderborn defence. The Swede breaks into the penalty area from the right and leaves Boevink in the hosts' goal no chance with a composed finish. 1-0 for the "Lilies"!

Never change a winning team
Paderborn starts with the same starting eleven as in the 2-1 win on the 1st matchday against Hertha and that is quite unusual already: Two matches in a row with the same initial formation last occurred at Paderborn two years ago at the beginning of the 2022/23 season.
A change for the "Lilies"
Despite the opening defeat against Düsseldorf, there is only one change in Darmstadt's starting eleven, Fynn-Luca Lakenmacher starts for Sergio Lopez. It is the first start in the 2. Bundesliga for Lakenmacher, who joined from 1860 Munich.
