Three super important points in the promotion race for St. Pauli! The Hamburgers defeat Heidenheim 1-0.
While the “Kiezkicker” are enthroned at the top of the table at least overnight, the Heidenheimers can probably give up their Bundesliga ambitions for the time being.
The 1st half is incredibly tough. Opportunities are scarce. But Heidenheim is the better team. Exciting scene in the 22nd minute: St. Paulis Medic jumps the ball on the arm in the penalty area. Heidenheim calls for penalties. Lucky for the people of Hamburg that it doesn’t exist.
▶︎ Then the 67th minute: Suddenly St. Pauli leads. Kyereh takes a cross from Paqarada with a direct volley. Already the 10th goal of the season for the Nigerian international.
St. Pauli then skilfully countered and brought the victory confidently, like a climber, over time.
Aue – Karlsruhe 0:3
Karlsruhe takes the lead with the first shot at the Aue goal by Hofmann (54th). Surprise: Aue coach Dotchev changes in goal before the game. Club icon Männel only sits on the bench. Klewin is between the posts. He has no chance when Wanitzek (67th) and Lorenz (85th) concede.
Aue remains eight points behind relegation place 16. Planning for the 3rd league can now really begin.
