Eintracht Braunschweig suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to SC Paderborn on matchday eight of the 2. Bundesliga. The visitors secured an immediate advantage, with Bilbija scoring from a Klaas cross just 30 seconds into the game. Braunschweig attempted a quick response shortly after, but Yardimci’s effort was expertly saved by Paderborn goalkeeper Seimen.
Throughout the first half, SC Paderborn largely dictated the tempo of the match, frustrating Braunschweig’s attacking efforts and maintaining a narrow lead at the interval. The home side struggled to generate consistent threat in the second half, with a chance for Köhler in the 70th minute also thwarted by Seimen. Flick’s attempt was too high to trouble the goalkeeper.
