Kult & Punk: St Pauli scrape home against SV Sandhausen

The boys are still focusing on getting ready for the new season of fun at Zoe's Bar, so sent along the boy Grunter to cover the game. What a jolly time we have in store for one and all this season.


FC St. Pauli 2-1 SV Sandhausen


Sandhausen were massive underdogs going into the game and it was Gerd Dais' men who created the game's first chance, as Jan Firßer was denied at point-blank range by a fantastic save from St. Pauli goalkeeper Philipp Tschauner. Gradually, however, the home side began to exert their authority on the game and they should have led at the break, but for some wasteful finishing, in particular from Florian Bruns who shot wildly over.

The second half followed a similar pattern as St. Pauli continued to boss proceedings, and they were rewarded for their persistence with 20 minutes remaining. A corner was headed clear by a Sandhausen defender, but the ball dropped to Fin Bartels, who cracked a superb volley into the corner. Marius Ebbers then secured the points for the home side, poking in to round off a swift counter-attack, before Marco Pischorn headed a late consolation effort for Sandhausen.
