Paderborn misses second win! Münster remains winless after a draw

On August 11, 2025, there was an exciting 1-1 draw in the duel between Preußen Münster and SC Paderborn in the 2nd Bundesliga. Luis Engelns scored for Paderborn in the 23rd minute, before Jano ter Horst equalized for Münster in the 61st minute. Both goals were scored by homegrown players from the respective clubs, which brought a special emotional note to this match. Engelns, who is only 18 years old and has been playing for Paderborn for nine years, celebrated his first goal in the second division. Ter Horst, 23 years old, scored his second goal in the 29th second division game.

Despite a dominant first half from Paderborn, who had several chances for a second goal, including a shot that hit the crossbar, and a strong goalkeeping performance from Münster, the result remained tied until the end. Paderborn coach Ralf Kattemann was disappointed with the result, while Münster's Alexander Ende praised a system change and his team's fighting performance. Münster still has to wait for its first win of the season, while Paderborn missed its second win in a row.
