Grimaldi struck again early in the second half to reclaim the lead for Paderborn. However, the boisterous hosts stunned the visitors with stunning goals from Philippe and Bell Bell. Grimaldi missed a late equalizer (83rd), leaving Braunschweig to revel in the victory.

🔍 Intriguing TidbitsBraunschweig's performance this season in the 2. Bundesliga has been a rollercoaster, finding themselves in a precarious position, far from the promotion spots. As of the 27th match, Braunschweig has earned 24 points, winning five games, drawing nine, and losing 13[3][5].
Before their encounter with SC Paderborn on April 4, 2025, Braunschweig were not considered serious contenders for promotion.

However, their overall performance and league position suggest they prioritize avoiding relegation over chasing a promotion spot.
