FC St. Pauli

FC St. Pauli claimed their first ever points at FC Heidenheim with a dramatic 4-3 win on Sunday afternoon. Guido Burgstaller, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Finn Ole Becker thrice gave the Boys in Brown the lead, only for Tim Kleindienst (2) and Christian Kühlwetter to peg them back each time. Four minutes from the end, however, Rodrigo Zalazar fired them ahead again and this time the lead held to end a run of six straight defeats at Heidenheim and put the seal on three vital points in the relegation battle.

FC St. Pauli slipped to a 3-2 home defeat against a powerful Bochum side on Thursday evening. In a spectacular encounter, Guido Burgstaller and Kofi Kyereh twice gave the Boys in Brown the lead, only for Simon Zoller to level both times. The visitors played to their strengths after the interval and were ultimately worth their victory, even if the winner in the shape of a Daniel Buballa own goal was rather fortuitous.

FC St. Pauli had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Holstein Kiel on Saturday afternoon despite putting in a decent performance. After a goalless first half, new recruit Omar Marmoush gave his side the lead with a fine strike on 52 before Joshua Mees levelled for the visitors ten minutes later.
