Paderborn beat Hamburg with Ryan Philippe’s late winner

Paderborn secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Hamburg in the seventh round of the German championship, with Ryan Philippe scoring the decisive goal two minutes before the end of normal time.

The hosts looked to make their home advantage count, but Hamburg defended resolutely and kept Paderborn from creating the breakthrough for most of the match.

With the final whistle approaching, the outcome appeared increasingly likely to be a goalless draw. However, Paderborn finally found a way through in the 88th minute, when Philippe struck to settle the contest.
