SC Paderborn beat Hamburger SV 1-0 in the Bundesliga thanks to Rayan Philippe's 88th-minute strike against his parent club, ending HSV's three-game winning streak and lifting Paderborn out of the relegation zone. Daniel Heuer Fernandes was named Player of the Match despite the late winner.
The Bundesliga and official licensing partner Topps have launched the Starting XI Debut Patch, a special jersey badge awarded to every player making their first Bundesliga start. Worn only for that single match, the game-worn patch is later embedded into a hand-signed, one-of-one trading card. The Bundesliga becomes the first major European league to implement the concept, debuting in the season opener between Bayern Munich and Stuttgart.
