The comeback had started perfectly for the Bundesliga outfit. In the 3rd minute, Elias Daghim broke down the right and crossed for Luka Pejcinovic, who opened the scoring.

However, the guests' advantage lasted very little. In the 11th minute, aehle and Filip Bilbija were cautioned after a spontaneous conflict, and three minutes later the Danish defender saw his second yellow card after a rough intervention on Sebastian Hansen.

Outnumbered for most of the match, Wolfsburg gradually relinquished control of the game. In the 38th minute, Paderborn equalized. A long ball sent into the box was deflected by Brackelmann and Bilbija appeared at the far post and scored to make it 1-1.

The score remained unchanged until the end of the 90 minutes, and the match went into overtime. The decisive goal came in the 100th minute, when Sven Michel's cross found Laurin Curda free at the second post, who scored for 2-1.

At the end, Paderborn fans invaded the pitch to celebrate with their favourites, and the players posed for pictures while drinking beer.
