SC Paderborn remain unbeaten in the 2nd Bundesliga. The Eastphalian team won against Hannover 96 2:1 (1:1) and remains behind the top duo in the table. However, for the ambitious Lower Saxony, this is a second away defeat in a row.
Koen Kostons gave the hosts an early lead (9 minutes). The visitors then took control and equalised ten minutes later. Paderborn’s Kostons unfortunately turned Bartlomiej Wdowik’s cross into his own net.
Hannover misses great opportunity
After the break, Hannover were the better side and had good chances to take the lead through Hyun-Ju Lee’s shot which hit the post and Nicolo Tresoldi’s header. But as is often the case on the road, the 96ers did not give themselves the credit they deserved. Instead, Ilyas Ansah scored the home side’s winner in the 77th minute.
