With a strong performance in the second half, SC Paderborn put SV Elversberg in their place with 3:1 (0:0). But it is no longer enough for the promotion race in the 2nd Bundesliga.
The goals on Saturday (April 27th, 2024) were scored for SCP by Adriano Grimaldi (54th), Raphael Obermair (61st/foul penalty) and Sirlord Conteh (75th). Carlo Sickringer had given the guests the lead with a penalty kick in the 51st minute, but after that the Paderborn team really woke up and confidently turned the game their way. The Saarlanders left the field as losers for the first time in three games.
Top three are too far away for Paderborn
However, the success comes too late for the Westphalians to intervene again in the race for the relegation place. Three games before the end of the season, Fortuna Düsseldorf has nine points, and the Fortunes will play at FC Schalke 04 on Saturday evening at 8:30 p.m.
For SC Elversberg, the defeat is no longer tragic: with 40 points, the promoted team is in solid midfield and has a sufficient lead over the relegation zone.
