Kevin Paredes put VfL in front early on (18’) but Brajan Gruda (24’), Sepp van den Berg (71’) and Jonathan Burkardt (85’) turned the contest on its head for the visitors to secure their league status. Seventeen-year-old Bennit Bröger celebrated his first few Bundesliga minutes as a late replacement for injured substitute Patrick Wimmer.
