Justin Njinmah scores the first goal for Werder after strong work from Grüll at 82 minutes. Ruben Müller equalizes after 123 minutes and Paderborn's Eickel scores the final goal. Coach Daniel Thioune explains: "It's normal that it doesn't go through. Today, maybe a little leniency is in order. Many players are missing." Werder has only 13 players on the field. Besides the injured ones, Coulibaly (back), Kownacki (ankle) and Musah (illness) have dropped out.
