😌 Ultimate relief, most crucial Bundesliga goal of the matchday | OneFootball

The form crisis of FC St. Pauli has reached almost historic proportions in recent weeks. 

The Kiezkicker have been waiting an unbelievable ten games for a win in the Bundesliga, losing a whopping nine of those matches.

So, ahead of today’s relegation battle against 1. FC Heidenheim, there was a lot of pressure on the brown-and-white boiler.

But so far, it can be said: St. Pauli is withstanding the enormous pressure! Martijn Kaars put the Hamburg side ahead in the 35th minute with an absolute dream goal.

It was clear to all the players and the entire stadium just how much weight was lifted off their shoulders in that moment. After all, St. Pauli hadn’t managed to score a goal at home since September 27.

Now, coach Alexander Blessin’s team just needs to hold on to the result ‒ after a questionable straight red card for Eric Smith (45.+1), a rather tricky task.

But after the break, St. Pauli continues to race towards a breakthrough and three points. Martijn Kaars scored the 2-0 on a counterattack. However, Heidenheim quickly pulled one back and made things exciting again.
