KSC made a powerful start in front of 18,191 spectators, but initially failed to score against the sleepy guests. Only after a quarter of an hour did Regensburg adjust better. Andreas Albers failed with his header to KSC goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck, who directed the ball to the post of the Karlsruhe goal. Kaufmann did better on the other side. However, the home side continued to be negligent with their chances. However, Jahn was unlucky because Sarpreet Singh’s long-range shot only hit the crossbar (37th minute).
