FC St. Pauli

FC St. Pauli go to Holstein Kiel on Saturday (kick-off: 15.30 CET) in the next round of the relegation battle. In the run-up to the game against the bottom side, head coach Alexander Blessin took questions from the media.

FC St. Pauli drew one apiece with Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday afternoon. Alexander Blessin’s side dictated the proceedings from the word go, but the visitors took the lead through Ko Itakura on the stroke of half-time. The dominance continued in the second half, and a late strike from substitute Oladapo Afolayan earned the Boys in Brown a point they richly deserved.

FC St. Pauli lost 3-2 at Bayern Munich on Saturday. Harry Kane gave his side an early lead but Elias Saad levelled ten minutes later as the Boys in Brown gave as good as they got before the break. The home side dictated the proceedings in the second half, however, and a brace from Leroy Sané set them on the road to victory. Substitute Lars Ritzka pulled one back in time added on, but it came too late.
