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.
