Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Home Deluxe Arena will turn into a battlefield for SC Paderborn 07 and Karlsruher SC.
- 5' Jonah Sticker has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' The referee calls foul for Philipp Forster. He receives a card.
- 14' It’s a booking for Karlsruher SC player. Christoph Kobald gets a card.
- 19' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 19 minutes.
- 20' Filip Bilbija puts SC Paderborn 07 on the lead.
- 25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Paderborn 07 that had 316 games and scored 227 goals.
- 35' The travelling Karlsruher SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Karlsruher SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 48' The referee shows Karlsruher SC player a card on 48.
- 53' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 58' It’s high time Ralf Kettemann made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 63' It looks surprising Karlsruher SC does not make any changes. Santiago Castaneda has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 68' Karlsruher SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 73' Christoph Kobald needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 75' Goal! Fabian Schleusener scores his 22 goal in 154 matches.
- 79' GOAL! Shio Fukuda scores on 79. Assisted by David Herold
- 84' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Nick Batzner suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' Goal! Sebastian Klaas scores his 11 goal in 41 matches.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Rafael Pinto Pedrosa on 90.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
