Dhe FC St. Pauli just doesn’t get going despite a show of will in the basement duel of the second Bundesliga. At the bottom of the table, Würzburger Kickers, the hamburgers fought their way 1: 1 (0: 1), but are still waiting for the second win of the season after 14 games. St. Pauli missed the jump to relegation place 16, but was penultimate but at least kept Würzburg at a distance.
St. Pauli’s club president Oke Göttlich expressed his confidence in coach Timo Schultz immediately after the game. “We have too few points, we have to show a lot more,” he said at Sky: “But we want to keep attacking and appear as aggressive as we managed to be outnumbered here. With Timo Schultz, we will continue on the path with him. “
New signing Marvin Pieringer (9th / penalty kick) gave Würzburg an early lead, the 21-year-old had only been loaned out four days earlier as an “absolute dream player” from the second team of SC Freiburg. Shortly before half-time, St. Paulis saw Marvin Knoll for repeated fouls yellow-red (42nd), Rico Benatelli (57th) managed to equalize.
With six defeats from the last seven games, St. Pauli went into the game badly battered, the early penalty for Würzburg was the next setback. Pieringer took it out against Knoll and transformed, Knoll saw yellow.
St. Pauli struggled, hit the post and crossbar with Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (14th) and Igor Matanovic (25th), but Knoll’s next foul was dismissal. The guests were at least at eye level in the second round and deserved to equalize.
