After two defeats in a row, FC St. Pauli now wants to finally get back on track in the fight for promotion in the 2nd Bundesliga. Coach Fabian Hürzeler’s team is hoping for a win at Hannover 96 and thus another big step towards promotion to the Bundesliga. Otherwise, the pursuers in the promotion race could get closer and closer to the neighborhood club – and the promotion of the Kiezkickers would once again be in danger. With the MOPO live ticker you won’t miss any crucial scenes in the game.
The game in the live ticker
24. Min Huge feat from Vasilj! Hannover’s Gindorf wins the ball in midfield, goes a few meters and simply shoots at it from just over 25 meters. Vasilj stretches and directs the beam just over the crossbar with his fingertips.
23. Min After Fortuna Düsseldorf’s victory the day before, St. Pauli is now only two points ahead of the relegation place; the current standings are three. By the way, three weeks ago there were eleven.
21. Min Kunze is injured and needs to be treated. Irvine also noticed something during the action and is limping slightly, but both can continue for the time being.
20. Min Hard entry from Irvine, who enters the duel with Kunze from behind. But Aytekin decides against a warning.
18. Min The hosts remain the dominant team and have completely controlled the game so far. The Kiezkickers have not yet found access to the game.
16. Min Gindorf, who comes from Hannover’s second team and is in the starting line-up for the first time, tries it from a distance. But his shot from just over 20 meters on the turn is no problem for Vasilj.
15. Min Hartel could push through the center, but is doubled and then steps on Schaub’s foot. Offensive foul.
13. Min Noticeable: The 96ers attack St. Pauli very early, usually right in front of the penalty area. This always causes the Kiezkickers a bit of uncertainty.
12. Min Hannover is the better team in this initial phase and has recorded 3-0 shots on goal so far. Nothing has come from St. Pauli yet.
10. Min Oops! Muroya crosses from the half field from the right side into the center. Vasilj is actually able to fend off the cross easily, but he punches it forward a little uncertainly. Tresoldi narrowly misses the ball for a follow-up shot.
8. Min Dehm clears Afolayan powerfully on the right sideline. Referee Aytekin laughingly points out to him that he shouldn’t do something like that again. But Hartel’s free kick lands in no man’s land.
7. Min Hannover always takes long balls to the top. As is so often the case, Tresoldi is the one we’re looking for, but this time he’s being missed by Nemeth.
5. Min The home team shows us exactly where to go. Tresoldi tries again from the right side and finishes from an acute angle. The deflected attempt from the edge of the penalty area only ends up in the side netting.
3. Min First big chance for Hannover! Muroya is sent steeply into the penalty area and uses his full speed. The winger finishes at full speed, but Vasilj deflects the very powerful (and too central) shot to the side.
2. Min Not harmless! Hannover brings the first corner from the left side into the middle, Ezeh’s cross rushes dangerously through the box. In the end, neither host gets a leg up.
1. Min The game in Hanover is on!
Kick-off!
- The game’s referee is the very experienced FIFA referee Deniz Aytekin from Oberasbach with his two assistants Christian Dietz and Asmir Osmanagic. The team is completed by Eric-Dominic Weisbach (fourth official) and Dr. Robert Kampka (video assistant).
- Hannover starts with this starting eleven: Zieler – Neumann, Halstenberg, Dehm – Muroya, Leopold, Kunze, Ezeh – Schaub – Tresoldi, Gindorf
- St. Pauli coach Fabian Hürzeler is causing at least minor surprises: David Nemeth and Aljoscha Kemlein are moving into the first eleven, but Adam Dzwigala and Elias Saad are only sitting on the bench. Oladapo Afolayan and Hauke Wahl come into the team for the absent Eric Smith and Philipp Treu.
- And this is how FC St. Pauli starts the game: Vasilj – Nemeth, Wahl, Mets – Saliakas, Irvine, Kemlein Hartel – Metcalfe, Eggestein, Afolayan
- St. Pauli has lost to no other team in the second division as often as against Hannover (17 defeats in 37 second division games). At the same time, the Kiezklub has also been unbeaten in three games against the 96ers, for example saving a last-minute draw in the very last second of added time here in Hanover (2:2) in a wild game last year.
- And it’s not the only challenge for St. Pauli: Philipp Treu and Eric Smith, two top performers from the past few weeks, were injured and will be out in Hanover this afternoon. A former Kiezkier is there: Marcel Halstenberg, trained in Hannover’s youth and active in the St. Pauli jersey from 2013 to 2015, is on the field on the 96 side.
- The current situation is therefore a completely new “challenge”, as coach Fabian Hürzeler called it before the encounter this Sunday. “A season will not always be uphill. A season is always accompanied by valleys and that’s exactly what you have to overcome,” said Hürzeler, describing his team’s current situation.
- It will be all the more important for St. Pauli to get back on the road to success in Hanover. After all, the brown-whites had already lost the league lead to Holstein Kiel last weekend and were suddenly only five points ahead of the relegation place before this matchday (eight points in fourth place).
- 1:2 at Karlsruher SC and 3:4 against SV Elversberg – these are the results of FC St. Pauli’s most recent two games. Two defeats in a row come at a bad time for the Kiezkickers, as they may once again endanger the promotion to the Bundesliga that they already thought was certain.
- Hello and welcome to the MOPO live ticker on Sunday lunchtime! FC St. Pauli is a guest at Hannover 96, the game kicks off at 1:30 p.m. in the Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena.
