Another comeback?

52'

Kaloc lifts the ball beautifully behind the Hamburg defence. Opoku can run alone towards the goal, but then shoots well over - and a flag is raised for offside.
50'
Tachie makes it two!
Ritter plays a deep ball down the left to Opoku, who was free to drill the ball low into the centre of the penalty area. Tachie converts from 11 metres out with his right boot to make it 2-0.

Wekesser sees yellow
Richter lets the ball bounce, then Wekesser brings a Hamburg player down roughly for a deserved booking.
37'
Momentum gained
The goal has clearly given Kaiserslautern a boost and the home side are now showing much more drive.
35'
Kaiserslautern's sharpshooter
Ragnar Ache has now scored in four of his five matches this season in Bundesliga 2. Today is only his second start of the campaign.
33'
Lautern grab the lead!
Hamburg were dominating the game, but the hosts have scored! The home side plays a short free-kick and Wekesser delivers a sharp cross from the left into the penalty area. Ache sticks out his left boot to make it 1-0.
28'
Hadžikadunić down
The centre-back goes for the ball rather impetuously near the touchline and runs into Opoku in the process. The Hamburg player goes down in pain for the moment.

Testing effort from tight angle
Ritter lifts the ball into Ache's path, and he tries a left-footed shot from near the byline. The shot goes well over, but Kaiserslautern are showing signs of life.
16'
Decent counter-attack

Closing the centre
The home side are not giving Hamburg much space to play with in the middle. Meffert and Elfadli are being closely marked there, and the passing routes to the playmakers are well blocked.
7'
Offside
Hadžikadunić plays a long ball behind the Kaiserslautern defence. Königsdörffer lays the ball off to Glatzel with his right foot, but the attack is then halted as Königsdörffer was in an offside position when the pass was made.
4'
Hamburg in possession
The visitors are keeping the ball running around their own ranks well during the opening minutes. They haven't managed to work it into dangerous areas yet.
2'
Raab replaces Heuer Fernandes
We have a late change of Hamburg goalkeeper to report as Heuer Fernandes apparently injured himself during warm-up.

And we're off!
The visitors kick off.

More on that Hamburg side
Hamburg have the same starting XI as on the last matchday, which is perhaps unsurprising given their 5-0 victory against Regensburg.
More on that Kaiserslautern side
Four changes are made to the side that started the 1-3 defeat in Hannover. The Red Devils have made 15 changes over the past four matches as coach Markus Anfang continues to search for a regular starting formation.
