FC St. Pauli

FC St. Pauli slipped to a 2-0 defeat against Werder Bremen in an evenly balanced final home game of the year on Saturday evening. A packed Millerntor saw Derrick Köhn and Marvin Ducksch strike for the visitors, whose greater efficiency in front of goal proved telling in the end.

FC St. Pauli collected their first home win of the season on Friday evening, deservedly beating fellow promoted side Holstein Kiel by three goals to one Strikes from Manolis Saliakas, Morgan Guilavogui and Johannes Eggestein ended the five-game home goal drought in front of a sell-out crowd at the Millerntor, with Phil Harres replying for the visitors late on. Nikola Vasilj also saved a Jann-Fiete Arp penalty on the stroke of half-time.

Alexander Blessin's side could only threaten in the closing stages against an impressive Borussia Mönchengladbach  on Sunday evening. Goals from Alassane Plea and Tim Kleindienst gave the home side victory.
