When the third-place team goes to the league leaders and is almost exclusively focused on being defensively stable and not conceding a goal, then that shows FC St. Pauli's current playing strength - and the respect of the opponent. We have seen this type of football several times in recent games. Hannover 96 are third in the table for a reason, because their tactics worked. In previous games, FC St. Pauli had always found a way to score a goal at some point. On Friday evening, the team in brown and white rarely had an answer to the opponent's defensive bulwark - but with a little more luck it would have been enough for three points.
Before the game there were great activities to commemorate the many people who drowned on the world's oceans. There were also clear statements in favor of sea rescue in the stands. And between us: there can be no other opinion. The problem in the current public is that a false picture is being painted. It is all the more important that FC St. Pauli uses its influence. Thanks!
And then there was the police operation in the visitors' block: I didn't see what was triggered, but I absolutely cannot understand why the indiscriminate spraying of irritant gas in a full stadium is viewed by law enforcement as a legitimate means. Get well soon to all affected fans and folders.
Eloquent about the game as always at Millernton.
Now there is a so-called international break and then there will be several big games in a row. I'm curious to see how FC St. Pauli contests this.
