Overview
- Adrián Kaprálik put Kiel ahead in the 18th minute before Oliver Batista Meier equalised from a disputed penalty on 60 minutes and Yassine Bouchama struck the winner in the 77th.
- Münster entered without nine injured players and lost Malik Batmaz after ten minutes, deepening an acute personnel shortage to ten absentees.
- Kiel’s attacking issues persisted, having managed only five goals across their previous five league matches and failing to add enough in Münster.
- The victory lifts Münster to 14 points and ninth place, while Kiel drop to eleventh after a fifth straight league match without a win.
- In front of 10,491 at the Preußenstadion, Münster also hit the bar before the break and saw out an extended stoppage time after a week in which Kiel had advanced in the DFB-Pokal at Wolfsburg.
