After the break, Steffen Tigges even scored the supposed opening goal for Paderborn, but the video assistant also switched on because there was previously an off-the-sided position. The center forward had just slipped into the starting eleven shortly before the kick -off after Adriano Grimaldi injured himself.
Nuremberg continued to play forward in the second half, but did not get through against the counterattack Paderborn. The strong Mohamed Ali Zoma, who failed from a short distance, had the best opportunity. The counterattacks of the Paderborns were also unsuccessful.
