FC St. Pauli

The game looked to be heading for a scoreless draw for long periods, but Freiburg won it late on with an unfortunate own goal. Afterwards, the consensus in the camp was that the performance would have merited a point even though it wasn't our best in recent weeks.

FC St. Pauli failed to land their third consecutive win on Saturday afternoon after being held to a 1-1 draw by FC Augsburg. The Boys in Brown took a deserved lead when Noahkai Banks put through his own goal after 17 minutes and looked set for victory thanks to a strong defensive performance, only for Mert Kömür to level the scores with Augsburg's second attempt on goal eight minutes before the end of regulation time.

After last week's home win over Union Berlin the Boys in Brown go again at the Millerntor against FC Augsburg this Saturday (15.30 CET). Head coach Alexander Blessin looked ahead to the game at the customary pre-match news conference on Thursday.
