FC St. Pauli

The Boys in Brown suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt in the year's opening fixture but could easily have come away with a point. The consensus in the camp afterwards was one of satisfaction with the performance but not with the result.

FC St. Pauli slipped to a 1-0 home defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first league fixture of 2025. Former Millerntor favourite Omar Marmoush notched the only goal of the game on the half-hour in front of a sell-out crowd. The Boys in Brown improved strongly after making a slow start but were unable to convert any of their chances for a point that was well within the bounds of possibility.

FC St. Pauli ended the year on a positive note after a 1-0 win at VfB Stuttgart on Saturday afternoon. Johannes Eggestein got the only goal in front of a sell-out crowd at the MHP Arena, and though he missed a second-half penalty the Boys in Brown went on to secure three vital points thanks to a magnificent team performance, especially in defence.
