Full-time: Paderborn 2-1 Hannover
Ansah crowns his starting XI debut with the winning goal as Paderborn prevail 2-1. This clash arguably didn't deserve a winner, but the hosts did just enough to clinch all three points. Apart from a shot that hit the post, Hannover were unable to create any clear-cut chances and never came close to netting a second equaliser.

Double change up front
Håvard Nielsen and Monju Momuluh are now leading the attack for Hannover as the duo replace Tresoldi and Rochelt. For Paderborn, David Kinsombi comes on for Kostons who, it is fair to say, had an eventful evening.

Poor touch
The 19-year-old, making his first start for Paderborn, receives the ball from Kostons and finds himself almost alone in front of Zieler. However, his first touch is poor and the ball bounces away from him.

Obermair!
A sign of life from Paderborn at last. Obermair dribbles forward and looks for a shot, narrowly missing the goal.

Boevink in fine fettle
Christiansen shoots from distance again, the ball is deflected and somehow Boevink manages to save it. The keeper is currently the best player for the home side.

Better than expected
Paderborn keeper Boevink has a Goalkeeper Efficiency of +0.9, which means he has made just under one save more than expected. This includes Leopold's header and Lee's long-range shot, among others.

Tresoldi's header
Rochelt manages to cross to Tresoldi, who is standing too far away from the goal and thus can't put enough power behind the ball. Boevink is able to hold onto it.

The equaliser!
A quick response from the visitors! After a corner Rochelt attempts to cross, but it turns into more of a shot. It's deflected by Kostons, the scorer of the opening goal, making it unsaveable for Boevink as it flies into the corner.
