Richmond Tachie came off the bench to make his mark for Kaiserslautern, but it was not enough to stop a painful defeat to Elversberg in Bundesliga 2 on Friday evening.
Played at the URSAPHARM-Arena an der Kaiserlinde, the game was tense and even, with both sides pushing hard.
Elversberg struck first in the 43rd minute when Luca Schnellbacher fired home from close range, giving the hosts a narrow lead at the break.
Kaiserslautern responded in the second half with more urgency.
