FC St. Pauli won the relegation clash in the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen, thereby enormously increasing Werder Bremen’s worries in the bottom of the table. Hamburg won 2-1 (0-0) on Sunday evening.

The goalkeeper let a harmless header from Hauke Wahl pass to give Hamburg a 1-0 lead. Jovan Milosevic (62nd) equalized to make it 1-1 for Werder, before St. Pauli’s Joel Chima Fujita scored the winning goal (70th). It was the lowest Bundesliga level in the first half, which both teams showed. Inaccurate passes, stumbled balls and other inadequacies – at times it was more of a relegation cramp than a fight – and everyone in the stadium, including the two musicians and ardent Werder supporters Jan Delay and Johannes Strate from the band Revolverheld, could see why these two teams have to worry about the Bundesliga. The first half had hardly any highlights. After their last two good performances at the Millerntor against the top teams from Stuttgart (2:1) and Leipzig (1:1), the Hamburg team were initially too cautious this time. Bremen had better opportunities, but failed miserably to finish, thanks to Jens Stage and Justin Njinmah. So it was no surprise that after 45 slow minutes we went into the dressing room without any goals. At the beginning of the second half, fans of both teams took a strong stand against racism and recalled the attacks in Hanau six years ago. The supporters held up banners in the blocks with the words “19.02. Hanau – Say their names” (St. Pauli) and “Remember together, fight together” (Werder). Things continued unspectacularly on the pitch at first – until the 55th minute, when a harmless header from St. Pauli defender Hauke Wahl slipped through the gloves of Werder goalkeeper Mio Backhaus. A huge gift for the St. Paulians. The Backhaus lapse was good for the game because suddenly there was more fire in it. Werder now did everything they could to correct their keeper’s mistake. Jovan Milosevic, who had recently been substituted, achieved this just seven minutes after falling behind. Out of the hustle and bustle, the Serb, who came to the Weser from Partizan Belgrade, sank the ball into the Hamburg box. The goalkeeper didn’t look good there either. St. Pauli keeper Nikolai Vasilj slipped slightly and was unable to clear the ball. But the goal brought no stability to Bremen’s game – a sign of what a critical phase Daniel Thioune’s team is in. His team was unable to defend itself from an attack by Hamburg. Ultimately it was Saliakas who brought the ball to Fujita, who gave Backhaus no chance with a low shot. It was the first Bundesliga goal for the Japanese Fujita. Now the pendulum had swung back towards FC St. Pauli, who saved their narrow lead in the exciting final phase and also left coach Alexander Blessin quite satisfied. “In the first half we gave up too much space, in the second we did better, were more grippy, also when it came to the duels. In the end it was enough for three points,” Blessin told the Sportschau.
