Kult & Punk: A fantastic win for St Pauli helps them climb the table.

Kult & Punk witness an historic win against Koln, to pull away from the relegation zone.  The boys actually got to this game, but were back in time to sample a return of Dockers Lip as the guest ale at Zoe's.

A breakthrough performance from cult favourites St. Pauli saw the Hamburg-based outfit romp to a highly-deserved 3-0 victory over relegation rivals Köln.


An intense start at the Millerntor was always on the menu but few would have guessed it would be the hosts who seized the initiative early on given Köln's recent revival. However, Holger Stanislawski's charges began with far more purpose and were duly rewarded through Charles Takyi's (30', 36') first ever Bundesliga goals.

The first was a joy to behold - a fantastic dipping volley which sailed beyond Michael Rensing from all of 35 yards. The second was the fruit of Gerald Asamoah's penalty box endeavours, the former Germany international's blocked finish bouncing into the path of the arriving Takyi, who side-footed into the roof of the net.

First win in 20 years

Köln were unable to reproduce any of the form that saw them destroy Werder Bremen last weekend and continued to struggle in the second half. The Kiezkicker dictated the tempo and showed far more passion than their lame guests, tying up the points with a third goal 15 minutes from the end.

Though referee Dr. Felix Brych's decision to award a penalty for Christian Eichner's push on Fin Bartels may have seemed a little harsh from a Billy Goats point of view, it was all visitors deserved for their lacklustre showing. Florian Bruns did the honours for the hosts, rolling into the corner to wrap up St. Pauli's first victory over Köln at the Millerntor in almost 20 years.

That result means Köln's brief sojourn in the safe zone comes to an abrupt end. They drop back to 16th, while St. Pauli leapfrog both them and Bremen to into 14th.
