- 11' SC Paderborn 07 seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 14' Sergio Lopez Galache was booked on 14.
- 19' SC Paderborn 07 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 19.
- 24' Niklas Schmidt needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 29' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 29 minutes.
- 34' Kilian Corredor has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Santiago Castaneda made 145 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 44' 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.
