In the 11-goal thriller, it was Erzgebirge who started the harvest of goals as early as the first minute after Dimitrij Nazarov powered in a first-time strike past goalkeeper Leopold Zingerle following a cross from Ben Zolinski.
Three minutes later, Nazarov completed his brace after capitalising on an assist to record the second goal. This time, it was Florian Krueger who supplied the assist.
Waking up to the reality that they are two goals down, the visitors stepped up and reduced the deficit in the 10th minute courtesy of Dennis Srbeny.
In the 31st minute, Sven Michel evened the scores for Paderborn. That seemed to fuel their confidence and they dominated ball possession against their wasteful hosts from then on.
