Full-time: Karlsruhe 3-2 Elversberg
The Wildpark Stadium witnessed a memorable game as Karlsruhe defeated Elversberg 3-2. In what was an end-to-end affair, the second half offered even more entertainment than the first. In the end, Andrin Hunziker, just one minute after coming on as a substitute, scored the decisive goal for the home side.

Something's got to give
Both teams remain unbeaten this season in three competitive matches (two league, one cup).
Elversberg make changes
The visitors also make two changes compared to their DFB Cup win at Hildesheim. Feil and new arrival from Hoffenheim, Damar, start instead of Stock and Gerezgiher.
Eichner's tried and trusted
Karlsruhe coach Eichner opts for the same starting eleven for the third Bundesliga 2 game in a row. That means Günther and Rapp return to take over from Herold and Heußer, who began the DFB Cup win against Lotte in the week.
Elversberg starting XI
Kristof - Baum, Pinckert, Le Joncour, Neubauer - Fellhauer, Şahin - Feil, Damar - Schnellbacher, Asllani
Karlsruhe starting XI
Weiß - Jung, Franke, Beifus, Günther - Rapp, Jensen - Burnić, Wanitzek - Schleusener, Zivzivadze
