Görlitz fires Bielefeld to derby victory
Bielefeld, winless so far after five matchdays in the 2. Bundesliga, started brightly and immediately put the pressure on the hosts. Skipper Fabian Klos and Christoph Hemlein recorded the game’s first chances, while Paderborn struggled with their attacking efforts. Midway through the first half however, the relegated Bundesliga side started to wake up and take control of the game. Nick Proschwitz slotted home from ten yards shortly after the half-hour mark.
The visitors were able to score the equaliser shortly after the break thanks to a firmly struck Brian Behrendt free kick. The game then looked to be heading towards a draw, with neither side really investing enough to win, but a wonderfully curved shot from Michael Görlitz in the 78th minute provided Bielefeld with their first win of the season and bragging rights for the derby win. Paderborn on the other hand continue to struggle with just three points from five games. Including last season, they have now lost their last five home matches.
