Paderborn enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Hannover 96's place. The match ended 4-3 with Muslija, Conteh and Leipertz (2) scoring. The force was strong with Paderborn in their previous game playing Hannover 96. It looked dark when they went behind 0-2 but thanks to goals from Muslija, Conteh and Leipertz (2) the match ended with a very strong 4-3 win. Manager Kwasniok felt very clever after Conteh scored the winning goal against Hannover 96, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 67th minute. The gifted forward Leipertz bested all teammates in that game and managed a match rating of 8.64 out of 10. Leipertz scored two goals, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
