After being a substitute for the early parts of the 2. Bundesliga campaign, Sandhausen forward Andrew Wooten has taken advantage of recent starts for his club. The 29-year-old followed up a goal a week ago with a brace and an assist on Saturday in Sandhausen’s 3-3 draw against Paderborn.

Wooten’s helper in the 14th minute led to an opening goal by Fabian Schleusener to give the visitors an opening advantage at Benteler-Arena.  The veteran doubled his side’s lead in the 27th minute, slotting a right-footed effort into the bottom-right corner.

Paderborn pulled a one back before halftime, making it 2-1 between the second division sides.

A pair of goals in a 14-minute span late in the second-half propelled Paderborn in front, making a comeback look dim for Sandhausen. However, Wooten came up with the goods late for his fourth goal of the season.

Wooten comfortably bagged his second goal of the match, stroking a left-footed shot into the bottom-left corner. His strong performance certainly put him in discussion for Man of the Match honors, as he is now tied for the team lead in goals.
