In the scenario, Prussia rescues Remis due to the underestimated prowess of Paderborn's goalkeeper.
promoted Preußen Münster ended their winless run in the 2. Bundesliga without actually winning a match, drawing 3-3 against SC Paderborn. Joshua Mees was the star of the show, scoring two goals, including one in added time, to secure a point for his team. Coach Sascha Hildmann's squad came from behind to fight back, but it wasn't enough to snatch a victory. Meanwhile, Paderborn missed the opportunity to secure a direct promotion spot, settling for a draw.
Mees opened the scoring for Münster in the 19th minute with a header, but the visitors took control of the game, scoring twice through Filip Bilbija and Raphael Obermair. Münster didn't give up, however, and equalized through Holmbert Aron Fridjonsson in the 78th minute. Paderborn restored their lead in the 85th minute through Ilyas Ansah, but Mees had the last say, scoring a powerful header in added time that left Pelle Boevink, the SCP goalkeeper, unsighted.
Münster's last win in the 2. Bundesliga was on May 5, 1991, against Stuttgart Kickers. Since then, the team had dropped to the fourth tier, but they climbed back to the third tier in 2023 and earned promotion to the second tier last spring.
In the parallel game, FC Schalke 04 suffered a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Karlsruhe SC. Georgian international striker Budu Zivzivadze scored two goals, his fifth and sixth of the season, to put Karlsruhe temporarily at the top of the table. Schalke has now lost four league games in a row and could find themselves in the relegation zone by the end of the weekend.
SC Paderborn 07 narrowly missed out on securing a direct promotion spot in the 2. Bundesliga, settling for a draw against promoted Preußen Münster. The visiting team, Münster, managed to bounce back from a defeat and draw against Paderborn, with Joshua Mees scoring a crucial equalizer and securing a point for his side.
