Tooor for SC Paderborn 07, 1:1 by David Kinsombi
Kinsombi steps up and converts down the left, even if Krahl is in the right corner. The penalty was well taken!
65.
22:07
Yellow card for Boris Tomiak (1. FC Kaiserslautern)
64.
22:07
Decision: Hand penalty!
64.
22:07
The VAR intervenes, the referee takes another look at the action!
63.
22:06
Paderborn demands a hand penalty! Bilbija asserts herself strongly on the right and moves to the baseline. With a lot of overview, he places the ball flat in the back area, where Ansah finishes and an opponent supposedly blocks with his hand.
60.
22:03
Yellow card for Dickson Abiama (1. FC Kaiserslautern)
Again Klefisch is the leader in midfield, as Abiama clearly keeps his foot on it and is also warned.
59.
22:03
After a long delay, the flag goes up during a Paderborn attack: Bilbija is sent into the depths, but fails from eleven meters to Krahl. It wasn’t until many passes later that the referee decided it was offside, and the FCK defense rightly got upset.
56.
9:59 p.m
Yellow card for Filip Kaloč (1. FC Kaiserslautern)
Kaloč runs completely unchecked into Klefisch after he had continued to play the ball for a long time. Because there is also a bit of elbowing involved, the referee shows the next yellow card.
56.
9:59 p.m
Grammozis decided to make a triple substitution early after the break and brought fresh players into the game with Abiama, Opoku and Stojilković.

9:55 p.m
Yellow card for David Kinsombi (SC Paderborn 07)
Kinsombi chases Kaloč on the sidelines and pulls him to the ground by his jersey. The referee hands out the first yellow card of the evening.
51.
9:54 p.m
Klefisch finds Kostons from midfield with a high pass into the depths. The striker takes the ball directly from 19 meters to the right and places it several levels above the FCK box.
49.
9:52 p.m
Obermair goes into a direct duel on the right and prevails. His sharp cross into the six-yard box was intercepted by a defender; no teammate had moved to the first post.
48.
9:51 p.m
Paderborn took over the reins after the restart, but the Red Devils felt comfortable in counter-pressing today and were happy to accept this role after the break.
46.
9:49 p.m
The wait is finally over! The playing field is free of objects and therefore the referee releases the ball.
46.
9:48 p.m
Kick-off of the 2nd half
45.+8
9:41 p.m
The restart is delayed because objects are thrown onto the field again. Both teams are already on the pitch and keeping warm.
45.+8
9:26 p.m
Half-time conclusion:
1. FC Kaiserslautern leads 1-0 against SC Paderborn at halftime! The game was only a few seconds old when Betzenberg was already celebrating: Puchacz hit a sensitive corner into the six-yard box and the running Elvedi was not significantly disturbed – the defender headed into the far corner (3rd). Paderborn had to recover in the early stages, but should have equalized after a free-standing header from Musliu (13th), FCK’s offside trap didn’t work at all. It was a game of equals, but overall the hosts were the more active and offensive team.
45.+8
9:23 p.m
End of 1st half
45.+6
9:22 p.m
After winning the ball in the final third, Ritter directs the ball into the path of Puchacz with a heel, and an SCP defender intercepts the pass in the penalty area in time.
45.+3
9:20 p.m
Kaiserslautern seemed to have a bit more grip in the final phase, but the hosts were hardly able to get any shots.
45.+1
9:18 p.m
Because of the fan protests, Ronstadt’s treatment break and the VAR check, there is a whopping seven minutes on top.
45.
9:17 p.m
Official injury time (minutes): 7
44.
9:15 p.m
Of course, the FCK fans don’t like this decision, the Paderborn goalkeeper is now whistled every time he touches the ball.
42.
9:13 p.m
The referee takes back the penalty! The VAR intervenes and the keeper actually hit the ball first. It was hard to see at normal speed, but the slow motion shows it clearly.
40.
9:11 p.m
Penalty for Kaiserslautern! Puchacz pursues a long ball centrally and is brought down by Boevink as he runs out because the keeper pulls his foot through and hits the Lauterer player in the stomach area.
37.
9:09 p.m
The Red Devils become more dangerous with their own corner kick because Boevink doesn’t grab the ball properly in the air and thus makes the ball sharp again. However, there is no Lauterer in the immediate area, so the keeper can secure the ball at the second attempt.
35.
9:06 p.m
It continues with a Paderborn free kick from the left corner flag, but the shot is blocked for a corner. The guests play this briefly, but Kinsombi’s cross flies into no man’s land and the SCP’s action comes to nothing.
34.
9:04 p.m
Substitution at 1. FC Kaiserslautern: Jean Zimmer
34.
9:04 p.m
Substitution at 1. FC Kaiserslautern: Frank Ronstadt
32.
9:04 p.m
First the game is interrupted because Ronstadt needs treatment and then a few more fruits fly onto the field from the stands so that stewards come onto the field. The players on the pitch now have to be patient.
30.
9:01 p.m
Penalty area scenes are currently in short supply, which is mainly due to the fact that the SCP is taking more control and keeping Lautern busy on the defensive.
28.
8:59 p.m
There were also brief fan protests on the Betzenberg, but things quickly moved on and Paderborn built up from behind.
25.
20:56
The duels have been really tough from minute one, but the referee has kept his cards closet so far. There are always fouls in the midfield that interrupt the flow of the game.
22.
20:53
Lautern counterattacks in their own stadium! Niehues drives the ball through the center and then passes it out to the right to Ache, who is also running along. After two passes, the ball is on the striker’s left foot, but his shot from around 14 meters then flies too centrally towards the opponent’s goal.
20.
20:51
The SCP is getting into the groove more and more every minute, the ball runs well through the midfield and the guests keep passing the ball directly to each other and thus moving Lautern well. The Westphalians are still waiting for their first chance to score in the game.
18.
8:48 p.m
The game is very entertaining early on because both teams actively play forward with the ball at their feet. The FCK is currently becoming a little more determined, but Paderborn has now recovered well after falling behind early on and is playing bravely.
15.
8:46 p.m
Lautern always plays well in depth: Kaloč sends Ache on the right side with a half-high ball, the striker is caught in time by Musliu in front of the penalty area and is decisively disrupted.
13.
8:45 p.m
Musliu heads the ball past free standing! Paderborn becomes dangerous for the first time with a free kick from the right half field because Kaiserslautern plays for offside in vain. Musliu gets a free header from around ten meters, but doesn’t put the ball on goal – that should have been the equalizer.
11.
20:42
Puchacz is missing a meter! The left-back has sneaked into the opponent’s penalty area and is suddenly completely blank when he receives a pass in the six-yard box. The defender wants to put the ball directly into the goal with his right, but puts the ball just past the right post.
10.
20:41
While Paderborn still has to get a hold of itself and has not yet taken action offensively, the FCK radiates danger with every action and the fans are getting out of their seats.
8th.
8:40 p.m
Lautern cheers again, but the flag is up! Ritter tanks in the center and passes through to Ache, who looks out the goalkeeper from 14 meters and converts with his left hand in the left corner. However, the striker was a good two meters offside, so the whistle came as no surprise.
5.
8:36 p.m
The atmosphere in the Fritz Walter Stadium exploded very early on! Kaiserslautern presses very early and puts Paderborn under pressure in the opponent’s penalty area, the early goal definitely gives the Red Devils a boost.
3.
8:33 p.m
Tooor for 1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1-0 by Jan Elvedi
What a start for the FCK! The hosts immediately force a corner, which Puchacz sensitively brings in from the right towards the goal. Elvedi runs in from behind, jumps in with good timing and heads the ball into the far corner.
1.
8:30 p.m
The ball is rolling on Betzenberg!

8:30 p.m
Game start
8:10 p.m
In the first leg on the fourth matchday, FCK had the better end on their side and celebrated their second win in a row with a 2-1 win against Paderborn. Striker Ache showed his header skills and gave the Red Devils a 2-0 lead. The Westphalians managed to score again through Muslija, but it wasn’t enough for more because there was no danger in the final third.
8:06 p.m
The two second division teams are far apart in the table: While Paderborn had temporarily moved up to sixth place, Kaiserslautern is in an absolute relegation battle and is currently in the relegation place. Ten points separate the two teams from each other before this direct duel! The guests’ goal difference is completely equal and is 0, while FCK conceded eight more goals than they scored.
19:54
The guests from Westphalia recently won the West duel against Fortuna Düsseldorf brilliantly with 4:3, but despite a 3-0 half-time lead, they made it exciting again. After the SCP started with a defeat and a draw, Paderborn was able to celebrate its first competitive win in 2024. Despite the victory, the guests also make two changes: Ens and Klefisch are preferred over Hansen (bench) and Curda (not in the squad).
7:49 p.m
After winning the DFB Cup, the FCK suffered a setback in Elversberg: they had to admit defeat 1-2 after an intense 90 minutes, and the offensive lacked the necessary freshness in many moments against the efficient newcomers. The Red Devils have two changes in the starting line-up: Niehues returns after his yellow card suspension, while his representative Raschl is completely missing today. In defense, the hosts will also have to do without the injured Touré, with Soldo taking his place.
19:34
Good evening and welcome to the 21st matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga! At 8:30 p.m. 1. FC Kaiserslautern welcomes SC Paderborn.
