The first twenty minutes saw Dortmund manage the intensity, Paderborn II showing up timidly with an opportunity for Millgramm around the 27th minute, without materializing. But it was on an error from the opposing low block that the visitors opened the scoring: in the 32nd minute, taking advantage of a defensive relaxation from Paderborn II, Arne Wessels intercepted a poorly assured pass, eliminated the goalkeeper who had come far from his cage and scored without opposition.

Borussia's joy, however, was brief. Barely two minutes later, Neo Stacziwa restored equality with an unstoppable cross shot. From then on, the pace accelerated and Mutove narrowly missed giving the Yellow and Black the advantage, but Pruhs kept watch twice from close range.
Returning from the locker room, Dortmund II clearly dominated the start of the second act, but struggled to convert this advantage into real chances until Degener, around the 70th minute, fired two shots from distance in one minute, both stopped by the ever-vigilant Pruhs. Wessels, perfectly launched in the 79th minute, once again collides with the local goalkeeper, this time with a foot save.
The turning point of the match came five minutes before the end of regulation time: launched from deep, Wessels was caught outside the area by Pruhs, who immediately received a red card. Eleven against ten, the men of Borussia Dortmund II increased the pressure but failed to score the winning goal.
With this draw, Dortmund II therefore remains undefeated and maintains its place on the podium, currently occupying third position in the standings. As for Paderborn, this valid result against one of the championship favorites should also comfort a team looking for stability.
