🚨 3-1 lead not enough, BVB blow season opener against St Pauli | OneFootball

FC St. Pauli and Borussia Dortmund ended in a 3:3 draw in the first Saturday evening game of the new Bundesliga season. After the match seemed to be decided in favor of Dortmund at one point, the Kiezkicker made a late comeback.

In the 34th minute, Guirassy had scored the 1:0 lead. Five minutes later, the top scorer missed a penalty. Shortly after the break, Hountondji scored the 1:1 for Alexander Blessin's team after a cross from Sinani.

With the double hit by Julian Brandt and Waldemar Anton in the 67th and 74th minute of the game, the thing seemed to be decided. But it was to turn out differently.

About five minutes before the end, referee Matthias Jöllenbeck was called to the monitor. After viewing the images, the matter was clear: BVB gem Filippo Mane had held Ceesay too long, Jöllenbeck showed the youngster red and pointed to the spot. After Sinani confidently converted the penalty, the 3:3 followed in the 89th minute of the game. Eric Smith scored for FC St. Pauli with a fantastic long-range shot to equalize.
