Full-time: Kaiserslautern 3-0 Paderborn
Kaiserslautern secure a clear 3-0 victory against SC Paderborn in the end. The visitors were the better side for long stretches of the match, but Kaiserslautern wins nonetheless due to some clinical finishng - and of course that howler from Boevink.

Yellow and Second Yellow!
Following a foul, Raschl and Curda clash - and both receive yellow cards. For the Paderborn player, it's his second booking of the match and thus a late sending off.

Striker's foul!
In a last-ditch effort to change the scoreline, Bilbija dribbles into the home side's penalty area and goes down in a challenge. The Paderborn player appeals for a penalty - but instead it's a free kick for Lautern.
90'
Blowout!
Marlon Ritter simply lets fly from outside the box after Yokota's lay-off - and the ball beats an unsighted Boevink all ends up as it flies low into the right corner of the net.
Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed

Sirch seals the deal!
A corner from Ritter finds no direct takers, but Kleinhansl collects the loose ball, plays it back out to his captain on the right, and the second cross comes through to the six-yard box - where a surging Sirch bundles the ball over the line. 2-0!

Grimaldi goes close!
A Bäuerle cross flies across the penalty area to Obermair, who cuts inside from the right and lays it off centrally to Grimaldi. The striker shoots on the turn, but his effort is deflected. Corner. That was a golden opportunity to equalise.
83'
Kleinhansl has a go
Raschl is immediately active, carrying the ball through the centre and shifting it out left to Kleinhansl, who takes a shot from distance, But his effort is deflected wide of the goal for a corner, which comes to nothing.
82'
Kaiserslautern ring changes too
The injured Heuer cannot continue. Midfielder Raschl comes on in his place, with Robinson apparently dropping deep. Additionally, the lightning-fast Tachie replaces clearly fatigued goalscorer Ache.

Substitution break
While Kaiserslautern's Heuer remains down after a clash with Grimaldi, Kwasniok uses the break for a double substitution. Left-back Bäuerle replaces right winger Herrmann, with Obermair likely to switch sides. Additionally, there's an attacking change, with Baur coming on for Klaas.

Yellow card for Herrmann
The Paderborn player miscontrols the ball and Kleinhansl nicks it away - but is caught on the foot by Herrmann. Yellow card.

Paderborn step on the gas
Götze pushes high up the pitch and attempts a through ball, but it's intercepted. The ball falls for Klaas, who makes another run and drives into the penalty area only to see his shot blocked. SCP are pressing hard for the equaliser.
67'
Obermair initiates the substitutes
Paderborn's left winger dribbles past Ronstadt before outpacing Robinson in a foot race. However, at the edge of the penalty area, he runs into Elvedi, who and expertly pokes the ball away from him.

Double substitution
Ronstadt replaces the injured Zimmer in a like-for-like change. Additionally, the more defensive Robinson comes on for Aremu in central midfield.
63'
Injury break
After a defensive move, Zimmer remains on the ground and clutches his right hamstring. It seems he won't be able to continue. He requires treatment and eventually leaves the pitch after a minute, shaking his head.
62'
A chance on the break
Kaiserslautern are becoming more passive again, but carve out a good chance. Right-back Zimmer wins the ball at the halfway line and sends Ritter into the centre. The captain wants to play it back out to the right after a few steps, but gets caught in possession.

Klaas shoots over
Kostons sprints deep on the left and crosses perfectly into Klaas's path. The midfielder shoots first time - and blasts the ball over the crossbar.
60'
An Approach
Herrmann cuts in from the right and shoots low towards the right corner of the goal with his left foot. Not dangerous for Krahl.

The captain comes on
Marlon Ritter, benched for the first time this season, comes on for Kaloč and takes the armband from Hanslik.

Offensive foul
A lofted ball pits Curda and Ache in a duel. Both go down, but the referee decides it's a striker's foul - Ache accidentally stepped on the legs of the advancing Curda.
55'
First attack in the second half
Defender Curda has had enough of Paderborn's passivity - he dribbles from the halfway line to the edge of the box and takes a shot - only to see it blocked.
52'
Dribbling into trouble
Ache secures the ball on the right and tries to dribble past Brackelmann on the outside - but loses possession. Yokota follows up well, wins the ball back and enters the penalty area against three Paderborn players - but he also loses the ball.
49'
Hanslik!
Ache controls a high ball, turns and plays his strike partner in on the left-hand side of the penalty area. Hanslik takes another touch and then shoots from the edge of the box - well wide to the right.
48'
Kaiserslautern get moving
Lautern are pressing higher and have started the second half well. However, a cross from Kleinhansl ends up in the arms of Boevink.

Half-time: Kaiserslautern 1-0 Paderborn
The whistle blows for half-time right on cue after 60 seconds of added time. A bitter scoreline for a clearly stronger Paderborn side, who are trailing only due to a blunder, having done more than their passive, counter-attacking hosts through the first 45.

Another good chance flagged
Once again, a Paderborn player is sent through on the left. Kostons crosses from the byline back to the edge of the penalty area, where Herrmann is positioned, but he thunders it well over the bar. However, the player who provided the assist was offside when he played the through-ball anyway.
38'
Obermair with a chance!
Klaas brilliantly extends a switch of play out to the left for Obermair, who runs into the penalty area and shoots! At the last moment, Sirch intervenes and blocks it for a corner.
38'
Yellow card for Curda
Similar free-kick position, but this time it's not for kicking the ball away - it's because Curda committed a tactical foul by pulling on Hanslik.
36'
Yellow card for Kaloč
Kleinhansl fouls Curda as the visitors press in Paderborn's half. To prevent the quick taking of the free kick, Kaloč moves the ball away slightly. This is illegal - and he duly receives a booking for it.
34'
Paderborn look to hit back
Michel is once again played into a deep position and cuts it back from the byline to Klaas, who fails to find a teammate with his own cut-back into the danger zone.
30'
Ache punishes Boevink's blunder!
Completely out of nowhere, it's 1-0 for the home side! Paderborn are put under pressure and play it back to keeper Boevink. Ache closes him down and Boevink tries to be clever but kicks the ball against his own legs. The rebound falls to Ache, who only has to tap it into the empty net.

Herrmann!
The best chance of the match so far. After a brilliant combination through the centre, a cross comes in from the left flank, which Bilbija heads back across goal from the right post. Herrmann has a free volley at goal, but only manages a tame shot that Krahl plucks out of the air.
27'
Ache goes down against Boevink
Excitement among the home fans: A high long ball is played towards Kaloč, who heads it on behind the defensive line for Ache on the left. The striker takes the ball past the onrushing Paderborn goalkeeper - and is fouled by him in the process. However, the player who set up the move was offside when the pass was made, and the whistle had blown even before Ache went down.
25'
Yellow card for Aremu
The defensive midfielder loses possession of the ball and has to foul Michel to prevent a quick counter-attack.
24'
Another attempt
This time, Michel gets behind the defensive line thanks to a lofted ball on the left. The striker sends in a cross but Heuer clears decisively in front of Kostons. Moreover, Michel was likely offside.

Klaas has a crack
The first proper shot on goal from the visitors comes in the 17th minute. Obermair is played through and cuts it back for Klaas, who shoots from just under 20 metres out - and fires well wide of the Lautern goal.
15'
Yokota turns up the heat
The dribble-happy winger takes on two Paderborn opponents, but is stopped by a third - but at least a corner comes out of it. However, the corner finds only the head of Paderborn's Kostons in the centre.
12'
Brackelmann gives it a go
The centre-back heads a long corner from Obermair towards the goal. It's not particularly powerful, but before any Paderborn player can get their head to it, Krahl plucks the ball out of the air.
11'
Robust stuff
9'
Long build-up phase by the visitors
Paderborn are now managing to get some possession, but there are no gaps in Kasierslautern's medium-high defensive block, so it's taking a long time before SCP look for a vertical pass - at which point the attacks are falling apart.
7'
Injury interruption
Herrmann crosses from the right into the penalty area towards striker Michel. Home keeper Krahl comes out and punches the ball away - but also takes out the opponent. As Michel initially stays down, the game is interrupted. However, the striker is able to continue shortly afterwards.
4'
Kaiserslautern counter-attack
Keeper Krahl plucks a Paderborn corner out of the air and sends Yokota on his way with a long throw. The right winger sprints past the halfway line - but then pulls too hard on his opponent's shirt. Offensive foul.
2'
Free kick for Kaiserslautern
The hosts are awarded a free kick outside the area on the left, and Sirch craftily sends it directly towards goal while Boevink is still organising his defence. However, the goalkeeper reacts quickly enough and tips it away for a corner. The resulting corner flies over everyone and is blasted well wide of the goal by Yokota.

Kick-off
And the match begins. The visitors, in dark blue, kick off against hosts Kaiserslautern, who are playing in red.
Kick-off!
Consistency for Paderborn
Lukas Kwasniok, on the other hand, is relying as much as possible on the XI that recently won the match against Regensburg. Only Aaron Zehnter, who scored against Jahn, has to be replaced due to a foot injury. Luca Herrmann starts in his place.
Many changes for Kaiserslautern
Markus Anfang rings the changes for Kaiserslautern. Captain Ritter and veteran Tomiak are on the bench for the first time, and Gyamerah and Wekesser also drop out of the starting XI in Elversberg. Instead, Zimmer starts, along with the trio of Sirch, Kleinhansl and Aremu, each making their first start for the club.
Paderborn Starting XI
Boevink - Curda, Götze, Brackelmann - Obermair, Kostons, Castaneda, Klaas, Herrmann - Bilbija, Michel
Kaiserslautern Starting XI
Krahl - Sirch, Elvedi, Heuer, Kleinhansl - Yokota, Zimmer, Aremu, Kaloc, Hanslik - Ache
Lukas Kwasniok on Kaiserslautern
"Kaiserslautern are particularly dangerous due to their recent results. They will work aggressively against the ball."
Markus Anfang on Paderborn
"Paderborn haven't lost a match yet. They are fundamentally well positioned, but so are we. It will be tough, of course, but we have shown good performances at home and, with the fans behind us, we are capable of deciding the match in our favour."
