VfB Stuttgart won 2-0 against FC St. Pauli at the start of the fourth Bundesliga match day. Ermedin Demirović shot 1-0 in the 43rd minute, new signing Bilal el Khannouss increased to the final score in the 50th minute.
“It was the reaction it needed,” said Stuttgart’s sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth at the TV station Sky. During the week, the tone was “a bit sharper”. This time, the team showed “more energy, more willingness to run” from the start. The victory is “absolutely deserved”.
Before the tour, the Stuttgart DFB national player Angelo Stiller missed a penalty after 25 minutes, a little later he failed freely in front of guest goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj (29). But with the double strike shortly before and after the break, the Swabians were allowed to cheer in front of 60,000 spectators in the end.
St. Pauli increases too late
In the pre -season St. Pauli All four away games in Baden-Württemberg won-including the 1-0 in Stuttgart. This time the team of ex-VfB professional Alexander Blessin lacked the punch.
Only after the second goal did the guests show themselves again in the opposing penalty area. But when Louis Oppie was completed, the latte saved (52nd). It was the starting shot of the best phase of St. Pauli, which was only short -lived. VfB keeper Alexander Nübel has now been challenged several times. However, VfB also tried to add. Demirović started a conclusion and was offside with Stiller’s supposed 3: 0.
It was the first defeat of the season for the strongly started FC St. Pauli. In the table, the Hamburgers remain in fourth place, Stuttgart pushes into seventh place in the table.
